THE CONCERTS – The performances on the big stage will open from 4.30pm with a live performance by Unchained. Moved by the passion for Quentin Tarantino’s cinema, the tribute band will revive the cult scenes, through the interpretation of the soundtracks, transversal in style and genre.

To follow, it will be Luarte Project: a project of cosmopolitan musicians who play to stimulate the public to listen, dance and be moved. Born from a passion for international sounds and rhythms, it offers world fusion and original music. From the world’s songbook to the original songwriting in languages ​​like Portuguese,

English, Spanish, Cape Verdean and Salento dialect, Luarte brings to the stage a vast array of stories and cultures expressed by the instruments and voices of Chiara Pellegrini (Bachelor in Jazz singing at the “Prince Claus Conservatorie” – Groningen), by Andrea Musio (singer-songwriter, oboist and ethnomusicologist trained in Portugal) and the Argentine Joaquin Cornejo (multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger).

Great closing with Bobo Rondelli: the artist, who is about to release the album “Storie assurde” produced by The Cage in mid-June, will enchant the audience with the magic and poignant irony that distinguish his live performances. Singer-songwriter, poet, actor and performer, Livorno has always inspired his artistic career. The introspective, irreverent lyrics and intimate interpretations focus on a cynical and light-hearted Tuscan nature, leading him first to success with the Ottavo Padiglione, then to the Ciampi Prize in 2001 with his solo career and to many records and concerts presented throughout Italy, including participation in radio and television shows – at the Sanremo Festival he will be a guest of the Tenco Prize. He also enjoyed success with audiences and critics in the road movie “The Man Who Hit His Head” which director Paolo Virzì dedicated to him, as well as a role in the film “La Pazza Gioia”. He will be the protagonist of the docufilm in homage to Ciampi produced by Sky Arte.

To accompany him, The madmen of the Juncaie: folk rock group from Follonica and Grosseto whose name draws inspiration from the protagonist of the story of the same name by Renato Fucini (“Le veglie di Neri”, 1882). Lapo Marliani, Francesco Ceri, Simone Giusti and Mirko Rosi are the sounds, choirs and crazy voices of the queen band of Maremmano hard-folk. All four animators of a patchanka that mixes rock with gypsy music, folk with singer-songwriter music to reiterate the motto “having fun while playing”.

FOOD & BEVERAGE – There are several points dedicated to food and drinks. The Fortezza Nuova bar will combine the stuffed flatbreads and the selection of soft drinks, coffee, beer and cocktails with an absolute novelty that will characterize the entire summer season: a self-service artisanal ice cream vending machine. The Melafumo restaurant – led by the charismatic Luca and a city landmark also loved by VIPs for its authenticity -, which traditionally sets up its own food stand in the park during the summer season, will also serve typical and revisited dishes. To complete the offer there will be Ape Tito’s burgers and cacciucco sandwiches: the street food of high quality Tuscan excellences packaged and distributed on board an Ape, the legendary three-wheeler designed by Piaggio, the flag of the territory and of the concept of Km 0. There will be no shortage of service on the main stage, the Arena del Magnifico, a kiosk inside the concert area to drink and refresh during the shows.
