From 27 to 30 June, the Caterpillar people are preparing to converge on Pesaro 2024 – Italian capital of culture. The CaterRaduno is a widespread festival: from Baia Flaminia to Piazza del Popolo up to the Teatro Sperimentale, to celebrate together with one four non-stop days of totally free events from dusk to dawn and until night, for dance, reflect, share and listen to great live music live on Rai Radio2, on digital terrestrial Channel 202, on RaiPlay and RaiPlay Sound.
For 25 years we have concluded the radio season with a party. The radio meets its listeners and goes on air, together, from a stage by the sea. With great live music and slightly special episodes. We are a community radio, we tell stories about everyone’s present, lightly but without forgetting the world. This year we feel, like many others, an urgent, enormous need for peace. We are the radio and we would like to give the news: “We are at peace”. We would like to do it first, because the radio comes first. This is how we move forward: we cultivate peace, one step at a time, every day. Peace is a culture. Let’s sow, like this Massimo Cirri and Sara Zambotti they tell the heart of the event.
Great live music!
Also this year the CaterRaduno offers a unique musical program. It begins with the presence on stage, for the two live episodes of Caterpillar, of great artists such as Selton and Frankie Hi-Nrg mc. At dawn on June 28, the sun will rise over the concert of Cosmos, an unprecedented and extraordinary live show in front of the sea also live on Radio2, visually on Raiplay and on digital terrestrial channel 202. On the evening of June 28th the national debut of the new musical show by Valerio Lundini & I Vazzanikki and to follow the grit of the live performance of Toe in the sore. On Saturday 29th the music will begin in the afternoon with i Carriage Thievesin Piazza del Popolo, to return to the beach of Baia Flaminia in the evening with a long party: the energy of Lucio Corsi’s concert, one of the revelations of this spring, and the closing entrusted to the DJ set of Aurora Borealofor an original and glamorous combination!
In addition to music, the program includes moments of comedy with two female protagonists: the stand up comedy by Yoko Yamadon the evening of Thursday 27th and the “exaggeration” course of Cinzia Spanò on the morning of Saturday 29th.
The CaterRaduno is also an opportunity for talk about current events, with the screening of the documentary “North of Lampedusa” (Saturday afternoon) in the presence of Vito Fiorino and Alessandro Rocca – protagonist and director – and with the guests of the live episodes chosen from the most significant stories told during this radio season (among others: Norma Bargetzi, one of the “Elders for the climate” who won a lawsuit against the Swiss government for inaction against the climate crisis; Alfonso Bianchi, Europa Today journalist who explained Europe to Caterpillar in the election year; And Roberto Scaini of Doctors Without Borders).
