The New Year's Concert will no longer be held at the Circus Maximus, and will have a different lineup than previously announced. The official confirmation from the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, was expected yesterday afternoon, in the same hours in which, at the Lazio Disco in front of Termini Station, a signing by Tony Effe was held, excluded from the billboard due to the contents of his lyrics .
«What do I care about the Concertone, I'll do it somewhere else». So reiterated the trapper, referring to his parallel event which will be held at the Palaeur, the capital's sports hall. Following the exclusion of the former Dark Polo Gang, in recent days Mahmood and Mara Sattei also withdrew from participating in the event, leading to a radical reshuffling of the names that will be present on stage on the night of December 31st.
Therefore we expect fewer and less young audiences. The new location should be confirmed in Piazza del Popolo, with a smaller capacity than the 80,000 people of the Circus Maximus (there is talk of around 65,000) and partially occupied by the Municipality's Christmas tree. And for music, the new names awaiting confirmation shortly are those of two Seventies glories – Earth Wind & Fire, Pfm – and with them the Orchestraccia, more recently formed (2010) but linked to non-dance genres (blues , folk).
