A large red curtain completely obscures the stage, and as the music begins to rise in a pulsating rhythm, the four figures can be seen transparently, photographed by thousands of mobile phones that seem to light up like flames. Then the cloth fell and behold MÃ¥neskin, welcomed by the roar of the nearly 13,000 people (12,700, according to the organizers) who flocked to the Pala Alpitour in Turin, was clearly sold out, with many fans stationed outside since. Then in the morning and also from the previous day equipped with tents.
Official opening (after zero date in Pesaro) From Europe’s “Loud Kids On Tour,” which was postponed due to restrictions due to the pandemic and is now “Loud Kids Get Loud,” opens on the notes of “Don’t Wanna Sleep,” extracted from new album Rush! Glossy features, Damiano with two jet-black champignons he ditches in the time of a few songs, the record-breaking twenty-four leave Italy after a world tour so dizzying, that now it is almost hard for them to return to their mother tongue: “Hi Turin, Liaison Service – salutes the front-line commander.

On the stage, between the two giant side screens, there is no scenography: the special effects are left to the lights, with a technologically advanced system that, through 300 illuminated objects, creates 3D effects, changes color and moves like a spaceship. above them. On the other hand, their presence has always been enough to attract attention and also last night Damiano David, Victoria de Angelis, Ethan Torchio and Thomas Raggi confirmed that live dimension, little talk and a lot of music is what they feel most appropriate.
In the line-up, among more than 20 songs, plenty of room for new tracks: After the first rock dump, between “Gossip”, “I Own My Mind” and “Supermodel”, the atmosphere becomes more intimate on “Coraline”. On “Blah Blah Blah” Damiano throws himself into the rave crowd, with “Beijing”, the cover that brought them luck in the US, there is a bit of irony: “Now a song that broke California…both us and you, but it’s so beautiful and we love it so much” . With “For Your Love” the stage goes dark and Damiano lights up the crowd with a spotlight: it’s time for Thomas, the guitarist, with a long solo to take him into the audience.
