On the stage set up in Piazza San Giovanni for Labor Day, the return of a great name in Italian music was announced: Luciano Ligabue.
The return to San Giovanni
“The Uncle of Rock,” as the artist likes to call himself, returns after a 17-year absence to perform at the anticipated May Day musical event in Rome. He did it first, four years after his last “start” tour, a few months after his return to the stadiums, which will see him as the protagonist in Milan and also in the capital, for the tour this time linked to the release of the is single “Ridera”.
It was the Correggio rocker himself who, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, announced his presence on the stage in Piazza San Giovanni. It was a “decision after the umpteenth ‘why not?’ (and there have been many in my career) I’ve wondered,” the musician explained.
The role of the artist
“May 1st is always the day of all workers and as such is always one of my favourites. And while it’s hard for me to call writing songs and singing on stage “work,” Liga underscored in the interview, it’s still true that in my twenties and thirties, I had several “real jobs” and maybe my passion for this party was born right there. However, songs and their writers cannot solve such complex problems, but an act of presence is still something.”
May concert: all the news.
The stage at the Concertone is therefore a few months before the return of Ligabue’s “Live”, which from July will also bring to the stadiums the new single that has just been launched: “Riderai”. On the stage in Piazza San Giovanni, the rocker will meet many artists from the national and international scene who supported the May 1 appointment.
