‘Ma Stasera’, Marco Mengoni returns and announces the stadiums

A new single but also the announcement of his first two stadium dates in 2022 at San Siro and at the Olimpico. Marco Mengoni’s summer opens with ‘Ma stasera’ the new single available everywhere from June 18th, which marks his return two years after his last recording project. ‘But tonight’ is an immersion in the sounds of disco-funk and electronics of the 80s reworked to make them contemporary and bring them to the present day. The text, written by Marco himself with Davide Petrella (Music by F. Catitti / F. Abbate / D. Petrella), is the photograph of a true, complicated human relationship, full of contradictions, with the verses that follow one another as if in contrast with each other to tell this complexity. ‘But tonight’ is also an invitation to focus on the moment that is about to arrive, an invitation to give the right weight and value to every moment of this sociality that is returning, to reflect on the restart after a complicated period, a restart that begins precisely from “tonight” and that projects us into a new future. For the production of “Ma stasera” (Epic Records Italy / Sony Music Italy), Mengoni has chosen to collaborate with Tino Piontek (aka Purple Disco Machine), the DJ / multi-platinum producer who climbed the charts with the Hit “Hypnotized” (3X Platino), # 1 in the Earone chart of the most listened to radio tracks and best-selling international single in Italy (FIMI / Gfk), in 2020. The original producer of Dresden, in his career has collaborated with superstars of the caliber of Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga and this is the first time he has produced a piece by an Italian artist. The dialogue between Marco and Tino Piontek led to an original work of “contamination”, starting from the recovery of sounds belonging to our musical history, that Italian disco from the 80s that made the history of the dance genre, to land today sound of 2021. The result is a funk piece, a meeting between digital and analog, “synthetic” and “played” together, able to combine drum machines, synth bass and electronic drums with strings, piano and guitars played. starting from this song, which is also freedom, the desire to move and the desire to regain one’s own spaces in the future that awaits us, that Marco announces his first live in stadiums for the summer of 2022. After the success of # MengoniLive2019 – Atlantico Tour, Marco Mengoni will be the protagonist of two exceptional concerts, an explosion of energy and sharing with his audience, in a dimension that was previously unheard of for him: ‘Marco nei Stadi’ will be on 19 June 2022 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan and June 22, 2022 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. To present this restart, two years after the great European success of “Atlantico”, Mengoni has once again chosen an unusual story, calling on his team – starting with his musicians, together with all the people who collaborate with him behind the wings – for a collective ride to San Siro. The group reached the stadium along the AbbracciaMI circle line, a cycling route that crosses parks, secondary roads, cycle paths and ordinary Milanese roads, a way to discover new unusual points of view on the city, starting right from the stadium, and move outside. from traditional paths. And it is with this message of cohesion and the desire to imagine new spaces that the doors of San Siro also reopen to the notes of the new single and “Ma stasera” becomes a manifesto designed by Marco together with his team with bodies and led lights, on the lawn of this space as large as it is iconic, in the sign of restarting. In the days preceding the announcement of Marco’s return, it was anticipated by an anonymous guerrilla who occupied the streets, squares, walls and railway stations of the main Italian cities, starting from Milan and Rome, with projections that only reproduced the words “Ma stasera “And that have attracted the attention of many passers-by intrigued by the mysterious apparitions. The choice of cycling along the ring of AbbracciaMI – circle line of the Lacittàintorno program of Fondazione Cariplo – is also the beginning of a series of initiatives studied together with songwriter with the aim of supporting and amplifying the messages of this project: the bicycle as an opportunity to discover new perspectives and new ways of living spaces along a path that unites people, activities and places, crossing inhabited and transforming urban spaces. activities, which will develop in the coming months, the implementation of the indications to more easily follow the path, the care and protection of a point of the cycling ring as well as Marco’s meetings and dialogues with friends and well-known personalities on the themes of space and the “new perspectives” that can develop along the circle line. The AbbracciaMI enhancement project will be carried out with the support of Milano & Partners, the official promotion agency of the city of Milan.
