The music is not there. At least live, for the entire month of march. And at the beginning of April will see. Are the effects of the decree, anti-coronavirus, which wants to limit the contagion. A long quarantine, which involves great international artists such as Carlos Santana (expected on the 14th of march in Bologna and cancelled), Avril Lavigne (skip the double concerto on the bill, 15, and 16 in Milan) or the Procol Harum (the tour was postponed to may). Stopped the big names in Italian: Subsonica , Capossela , Gemitaiz with Madman , De Gregori …
An epidemic of silence from the regions of the North spilled over throughout the boot. Causing to the music industry live some million damage: 4,1 according to the Siae, over 10 to Assomusica. Also because – even in the case of the postponement of the concert to a new date – the viewer who bought the ticket in advance, you have the right to accept the change or reject it and claim the refund. In short, it is a real tsunami of 7.400 live shows skipped (including, however, the theatres and other live-show, according to the Confindustria Culture). A stop involving artists of international stature such as Kelis and One Republic (nothing concert in Milan) and the most known of the Italian team, by Irene Grandi to Gigi D’alessio . All of the organizers of the concerts are rescheduled (except in any case in which you have surrendered to the cancellation) the stages of the tour of musicians, spreading the new events in the calendar, typically starting in April. And, in some cases, directly by giving appointment to the next autumn.
Because in the end, it is perhaps more reliable to think of a longer pause: the new calendar of live music should be taken with benefit of inventory. No one can guarantee that in a month’s time the contagion will be so weakened to be able to authorise rallies with thousands of people. Among the many other forced to avoid the stages there are Penguins tactical nuclear, Willie Peyote, Loredana Bertè, Bugo, Pfm, Fashion, Angelo Branduardi , Brunori Sas, The Vibrations, the Raf & Tozzi, Giusy Ferreri … But there is also those who go against the grain: the tour of Luca Madonia that promises to leave the 12 to the Alexanderplatz square in Rome to continue all in the South. The effect of the regulation which actually allows you to power the staging of the shows to some of the spaces that offer to keep spectators at a mutual distance. The situation can in some clubs and in a certain range of artists that range in song writing. Virtually impossible in a sports arena.
