“We are a reckless life!”: Fan in delirium in Messina for the first Vasco Rossi concert

“I want a reckless life … indeed we are a reckless life”. Vasco Rossi bursts at the “Franco Scoglio” stadium in Messina for the first of the two concerts he will hold on the Riva alla Straiton a tour that touches only 7 Italian cities in the summer of 2025. “In front of a world full of hatred, violence, overturned values, we celebrate life mine is a concert of light”. And in the first summer night there is a lot of light. Pure energy for 40 thousand people who come from all over Southern Italy and beyond (appearances also from Australia, Canada and the USA). They are the people of Blasco who in Messina are now at home in that stadium that in 2007 said he wanted to buy, so much was his surprise by discovering him. Reckless life opens the concert, it is the intergenerational anthem that par excellence celebrates life which, this year, is the common thread of the whole show. And for this, for the first time, he is at the top of the concert. It had never happened. In a solemn arrangement, as is convenient for one of the songs that made the history of Italian music. On the crest of the wave for almost 50 years, Vasco intercepts people’s feelings and emotions. His songs, (over 200) now cross 4 generations. Over 800 concerts, for 35 years, the undisputed number 1 of the stadiums. Vasco is a myth for his people (and not only) and a lighthouse for the new generations of musicians. Kom illuminates the night of Messina and Messina gives him all the energy with which Zocca’s rocker has been powered for almost half a century.
