Rome, Maneskin concert at the Circus Maximus









The Maneskins and the images of their fabulous Roman concert. With two exceptional fans

Half an hour late, two hours of show and unbridled music, pacifist claims (with the encore of "Fuck Putin" already shouted at the Coachella Festival), a sprinkling of celebrities including Hollywood: the Maneskin concert at the Circus Maximus is It was truly “the event of the year”, as the organizers trumpeted (and hoped).

HELLO ROME! - The concert, the first "step" of the Loud Kids Tour (which will also bring the band to the United States and South America), begins at 9.30 pm, with the usual delay on the official timetable, and with a shouted "Hello Rome!" in unison by the band, immediately dominated by the roar of the over 70 thousand present. The so-called "hospitality area" is also crowded, a horrible phrase (and privileged space) that welcomes celebrities. Among these, Anna Foglietta, Gabriele Muccino, Anna Ferzetti and above all Angelina Jolie (in Rome to shoot the film Without blood ) with their daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who visited the Maneskin dressing room before it all began.

SHUT UP AND GOOD - The live begins with Shut up and good , and shortly after comes Chosen , the song with which the Maneskin dazzled the judges and the public at the X Factor auditions. Damiano, the frontman, introduced it like this: “Now we make a special piece for us. As you know we started playing in the streets of this city, not very far from here. And when we performed this piece on the pavements we already did it ". Public in delirium and Angelina and Shiloh "unglued" from their chairs to dance and sing.

FUCK PUTIN! - In the middle of the concert, on the notes of Gasoline , their song about war, premiered at the Coachella Festival and also applauded by the Kiev Parliament, Damiano sent his message again to Putin: "Even if someone bothers, we keep screaming it. Fuck Putin, fuck war and all kinds of dictators ”.

A GIFT FOR THE PUBLIC - And to underline how special the home stage was, towards the end of the concert the Maneskin gave the audience an original, yet to be sketched: “For us this concert is too special, for obvious reasons. That's why we decided to let you hear for the first time a piece that doesn't have a title and isn't even finished, it's just a demo, but we like it. Enjoy yourselves".

CLOSURE - After two hours, it was time to close, and the Maneskins did it in their own way, calling on the stage a dozen fans, chosen by the security officers from among the spectators in the front row. Then, the curtain on a night that everyone - Angelina Jolie and Shiloh understood - will struggle to forget.
