From 27 to 30 June it will stop at Pesaro 2024, the Rai Radio2 festival launched by Caterpillar which turns 25 this year. Radio, great live music and civil commitment in a non-stop of exclusive events: from Cosmo, Ditonellapiaga and Valerio Lundini, to Don Luigi Ciotti with Libera.
The CaterRaduno is a widespread festival: from Baia Flaminia to Piazza del Popolo up to the Teatro Sperimentale, to celebrate together with four non-stop days of totally free events from dusk to dawn and into the night, to 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. – this is how Massimo Cirri and Sara Zambotti describe the heart of the event – The radio meets its listeners and we go on air, together, from a stage by the sea. With great music live and slightly special episodes. We are a community radio, we tell stories of everyone’s present, lightly but without forgetting the world. This year we feel, like many others, an enormous need for peace. We are the radio and we would like it give the news: “We are at peace”. We would like to do it first, because the radio arrives first. This is how we move forward: we cultivate peace, one step at a time, every day. Peace is a culture.
Also this year the CaterRaduno offers a unique musical program. It starts 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 28 June, the sun will rise on the Cosmo concert, 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 followed by the gritty live performance of Ditonellapiaga. On Saturday 29th the music will begin in the afternoon with the Ladri di Carrozzelle, in 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 Auroro Borealo DJ set, for an original and glamorous combination. In addition to music, the program includes moments of comedy with two female protagonists: Yoko Yamada’s stand up comedy on the evening of Thursday 27th and Cinzia Spanò’s “exaggeration” course on the morning of Saturday 29th.
The CaterRaduno is also an opportunity to talk about current events, with the screening of the documentary “A nord di 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 among the most significant stories told during this radio season.
