The first spectators arrived already on Friday afternoon, the last ones will reach them by the evening but they are warmly invited by the organization to avoid a last minute deal so as not to risk queues and missing the start of the concert, which will be strictly at or almost 8.45pm. In the end there will be one hundred thousand, sold out for months: the day of AcDc at the Rcf Arena in Reggio Emilia has arrived, tonight the legendary Australian band will be in what was once known as Campovolo and is now one of the spaces equipped for the largest concerts in Europe for the only Italian date of the fiftieth anniversary tour. Judging by the first two in Germany, there will be plenty for the human ocean that will welcome them in Reggio, with a set list lasting almost two and a half hours and a barrage of hits.
One hundred thousand tickets burned, 6500 people arrive from abroad, 8000 from Reggio, in a reunion for fans of all origins who, to access the Rcf Arena, will walk along the equipped pedestrian avenue which enters from via dell’Aeronautica and which will then lead to the various areas of the concert area. A welcome village, with food and merchandising, was set up and opened yesterday afternoon in Piazzale Europa near the arena; another is located in front of the central station. The public arrived here on Friday evening and will be able to stay here today with toilets, refreshment points, medical assistance, t-shirts and music. Those returning home on one of the special trains activated by Trenitalia will also pass through here after the concert, with some extra regional trains heading towards Bologna and Milan after 1 am. From 00.30 there will also be two Frecciarossa trains on the lines towards Rome and Turin, but these will also depart from the central station and not from the high speed station, which remains closed. Those arriving by car have four parking areas available upon reservation. A luggage storage facility has been activated at the Don Bosco oratory.
Staff, doctors and law enforcement will be available inside the arena to provide practical information on the day, and some fountains will be active for freely refilling water bottles. Furthermore, 30 thousand bottles will be distributed free of charge to those who need them in the hottest moments. In Reggio today, however, maximum temperatures of 22/23 degrees are expected and some possible rain in the early afternoon. For purchases at the bar, no minimum spending limit and beer at a controlled price of 6 euros. Gates open from 12pm, at 7.05pm the support group The Pretty Reckless will be on stage, AcDc are expected at 8.45pm finishing around 11.15pm.
