On May 25, 1979, Albachiara appeared, Vasco Rossi’s first major success. 44 years later, on the anniversary day, Blasco is in Rimini. It’s just after 5 p.m. when two minibuses with tinted windows pull into Romeo Neri Stadium. “It’s Vasco! It’s Vasco! Hello Vasco. Some fans are already ready to park near the side entrance where Rimini players usually enter. “We’re here especially for him,” we hear when we hear the call of some tools at a certain point inside the cordoned off sports facility.

Rehearsals begin and stadium residents don’t miss an opportunity to look out from the balconies and windows. A great success can be seen immediately in the first test pieces. “Some say there, some say here, I’m not here.” But Vasco is there, and if so, then he is in his fortress, with his staff, and shortly after witnessing it firsthand through his social networks : Here he takes the stage, ready for the double event on June 1st and 2nd It is clear that the Rimini phase of dress rehearsals has begun: in fact, Blasco never misses an opportunity to use the words “Rimini” to describe the sector in question to have him immortalized.
And as the city prepares to align the new tour’s zero date with all the parking, road and transport clues, Vasco dives into the new reality. The rehearsals in Castellaneta in Puglia went well and the cast of the songs that will follow each other on the stage in Rimini and the following stages is now fixed. According to the first rumours, the concert on June 2nd will be a two and a half hour concert with all the big hits.
“It’s going to be a crazy show,” the rocker assures in his profiles. From now until June 1st, Vasco will be performing daily in the stadium where the work has been completed: the 1,400 square meter maxi stage can be seen from the outside. Over 24,000 people are expected at the Neri on June 2nd, around half for the sound check the day before. As has been known for a long time, tickets are no longer available. During these days Vasco will stay in Rimini at the Grand Hotel, which in the past has already been the home of leisure and holidays. And it will also stop on the Riviera during the concerts scheduled in Bologna immediately after the Neri appointment.
