Giorgia Soleri,
Damiano’s friend by posting some social shots of the concert. And the Roman band provided plenty of goosebumps throughout the evening. “What should we do, should we start?” Damiano goaded the audience (already in line that afternoon) as soon as he took the stage (with a red M-shaped pedestal in the middle), wearing a bright pink jacket soon gives up, sticking with a sparkling top (which he ends up taking off while remaining shirtless), before immediately attacking with “Zitti e Buoni,” the hit that’s shaped the group’s history for the past two years has changed. An energetic and exciting roundup lasting almost two hours, in which the frontman, together with Victoria on bass, Thomas on guitar and Ethan on drums, didn’t spare himself.

making souls even more enthusiastic about “Loving you” than they already were. And after the “fuck Putin” Coachella yelled at, ie

they wanted to shout their no to war again. Damiamo, before intoning gasoline, recited the speech to humanity by
Charlie Chaplin
in “The Dictator”, which shows the yellow and blue flag of Ukraine and concludes with “You, the people, have the power to make life beautiful and free”. “There are times when we have to step out of the chair of privilege and use that privilege to help those who don’t have it.” Towards the end of the concert (“How the fuck are you? Eh, I’m good at flue . Did you miss us while we were in America?”) Damiano invites a few dozen fans onto the stage, who, in disbelief, keep filming him on their phones.
It was September 2019 when The Maneskin performed live in Italy for the last time at the Carroponte in Milan. Young band is looking for a place in the sun. Another world, another life. Then came the victory at the Sanremo Festival, the Eurovision Song Contest, the prizes, the awards, the singles that streamed millions, the gold, platinum and diamond records. Success in Europe and the United States.
And instead of the four Roman boys, there are now four international rock stars playing a little and a little (with Damiano simulating hugs on stage, collecting roses and bras thrown by the crazy girls, but then also greeting. Hello, family ” ) and who have chosen the Arena di Verona to finally return to Italy to be greeted by an enthusiastic crowd a few days after the double appearance at the Coachella festival.
In the summer of 2022 they will be the protagonists of some world festivals such as Rock Am Ring & Rock Im Park, Reading & Leeds Festival, Lollapalooza (in Stockholm, Paris and finally Chicago), Rock Werchter, also through Rock in Rio in Brazil and many others .

We love you,” the four boys greeted before lowering the curtain for the evening.
