Sgr Live 2024 returns to the protagonist of the summer in the historic center of Rimini. At the Arena Francesca da Rimini this year too, the SGR Group wanted to give citizens and tourists the soundtrack of the holidays and free time spent in the wonderful location adjacent to Castel Sismondo.
Now in its third edition, the schedule developed by the artistic directors Federico Mecozzi and Cristian Bonato increases to 15 evenings with all musical genres represented and tributes to great artists in the history of music.
All shows will have free entry and will begin, except the last two, at 9.30pm.
The mayor and the councilor for economic activities of the Municipality of Rimini attended the presentation this morning, Juri Magrini and the President of the SGR Group spoke Micaela Dionigi, Federico Mecozzi And Cristian Bonato. Numerous artists protagonists of the event were also present, starting from Clique which will start the program on Tuesday 4 June.
Micaela Dionigi, President of the SGR Group: “SGR Group is deeply committed to creating and strengthening relationships with its communities, supporting events and projects dedicated to citizens and its customers. This year, for the third consecutive year, we have dedicated ourselves to the organization of SGR Live, a music festival that aims to enhance young artists from our territory, enriching the program of summer events of the Municipality of Rimini which has assured us of its patronage, in a truly exciting setting like that of Castel Sismondo.
Last year around 30 thousand people passed through the Arena Francesca from Rimini to listen to live concerts by artists who perform on stage to cheer fans and tourists. We hope that this year they will be even more numerous given the rich schedule that varies from rock, to pop, to musicals and other genres of the musical panorama”.
Federico Mecozzi and Cristian Bonato, Artistic Direction of SGR Live 2024: “This exhibition has very quickly become an eagerly awaited and rooted event in the area. We are pleased to be artistic directors and grateful to SGR as representatives of the world of music. This year too the primary intent was to enhance the local artistic ferment, which is truly rich. The program presents a transversality in the various musical worlds: from pop to rock, through musicals and other really interesting proposals. We will start on June 4th with Cricca, who will preview his new single “Zero Drammi” and will offer a concert of unreleased songs and covers”.
Juri Magrini, Councilor for Economic Activities of the Municipality of Rimini: “Thanks to SGR, it is neither banal nor obvious for a company that carries out business activities to take on a social responsibility role. For those who administer public affairs, having interlocutors who do their part is essential. The program presents many interesting ideas and I think giving young artists the opportunity to perform in such a beautiful context is very important.”
