Special busking set
In 20 years of career they have represented one of the reference realities for current music. Rolling Stone has included their album "Andate tutti affanculo" among the 100 most beautiful Italian albums of all time. Their strength has been recognized by important international artists such as Violent femmes, Pixies and Talking heads, who have wanted to collaborate with them. This summer they have decided to plan one last series of concerts before taking a two-year break. The park of Villa Manin will host the only stage in the north-east and it will be a unique appointment, with a special busking set, without barriers with the public, like at the beginning.
The programme of “Concerts in the Park” within the Villa Manin Estate 2023 event is taking shape more and more. After the announcements of Daniel Norgren, Jeremiah Fraites of the Lumineers and Black Country, New Road, three true international gems, today it is the turn of one of the best-loved bands on the Italian alternative scene, The Zen Circus, who will kick off the dates on Sunday 25 June (starting at 6.30 pm). Tickets, at the symbolic price of €5 + dp, will be available from Friday 12 May, online at Ticketone.it, Ticketmaster.it and in all authorised points of sale.
Their concerts last December were veritable feasts for fans, special shows that sold out so completely that many people were left without tickets, and the band decided to schedule another small series of dates before saying goodbye. Zen Circus, in fact, will take a two-year break from publishing and touring to devote themselves to their respective solo projects and work on new material.
The Park of Villa Manin will also host this last round of the Zen Circus merry-go-round and the one in FVG, besides being the only stage in the north-east, will certainly also be the most special one: the band will in fact perform a busking set, without barriers with the audience, as in their early days.
In their twenty-year career, Zen Circus have built a credibility shared by very few other local artists, thanks to their incessant, urgent and quality live activity, confirming themselves as a certainty of Italian rock, rewarded over time by an affectionate and increasingly transgenerational audience, which has been filling the country’s best clubs and festivals for years.
With their latest album ‘Cari Fottutissimi Amici’ in 2022, they have released their 14th record, which joins a career made up of hundreds and hundreds of concerts, thousands of kilometres travelled, sweat and enthralling energy on stage; two decades of intense activity sealed by their participation in the Sanremo 2019 Sanremo big band competition and the publication of an anti-biographical novel published by Mondadori, which has become a real case in the literary genre, entering the Top Ten of the best-selling books charts drawn up by the major newspapers.
Over the years, “Concerts in the Park” has become a fixture of the Villa Manin Estate, the event conceived by Erpac FVG and promoted in collaboration with Vigna PR – designed to enliven and rediscover the most naturalistic part of the historic custom residence and to offer opportunities for meeting and entertainment through alternative and sophisticated musical proposals.
