As the release of the new album The Day I Waited approaches, the details of the mega concert on July 4th in Tor Vergata emerge.
Less than three weeks before the 4th of July event in Tor Vergata, details of the structure it will host are starting to emerge the biggest concert of Ultimo’s career. As the release of the new album approaches The day I was waiting forscheduled for June 19th, the first images of the stage currently under construction in the Roman area that will host the event have been released.
According to data provided by the organizers, the structure will be approximately 140 meters long and will be supported by 34 33 meter high towers. The project also includes 2,500 square meters of high definition LED screens, over 1,500 light points and 18 giant screens distributed along the public area. For audio diffusion, 36 delay towers equipped with sound systems and lighting are planned.
Among the most significant scenographic elements is a luminous metal structure located approximately 60 meters high and supported by two cranes. The installation, which recalls the artist’s signature, measures 21 meters wide by 10 meters high and overlooks a large symbol of infinity, a recurring graphic element in the visual imagery associated with the Roman singer-songwriter. The entire structure will be moved by a system of variable speed motors used for the stage effects of the show. From the main stage there will also be a catwalk approximately 30 meters long, also designed taking the shape of infinity.
The July 4th event represents the culmination of a project announced some time ago and linked to the release of the new album The day I was waiting forUltimo’s seventh album of unreleased songs. The album will contain ten tracks, including songs already released Acquarium, This senseless desire for you and the recent single Romantic.
In a statement released by the organizers, the singer-songwriter explained how the Tor Vergata concert was born from an idea developed several years ago and developed through a long planning phase. “It was a vision from years ago,” said the artist, underlining the work done over the last eighteen months to make an event of this scale possible.
The Roman event had already recorded significant numbers in the sales phase. The available tickets sold out in a few hours, with 250 thousand attendances expected in the event area, a figure that places it among the largest concerts ever organized in Italy.
The production is entrusted to Vivo Concerti and involves Roma Capitale and the University of Rome Tor Vergata, with preparatory work started over a year ago for the logistical and organizational management of the event.
There is also an initiative dedicated to people with disabilities: on 2 July, two days before the concert, it will be possible to attend the general rehearsal of the show.
