Lucca Summer Festival 2011
Just before Christmas the organisers of the annual Lucca Summer Festival (a series of concerts held in the heart of Lucca each summer) were making noises about ‘imminent announcements’ for the 2011 edition. The official site still says ‘coming soon’ but the promoter’s own site already has confirmed dates for Elton John – a festival stalwart – on the 14th July.
It’s not too big a leap to expect that Roger Waters may also be making a return visit – he’s played before, his tour is promoted by the festival organisers, and he’s playing in Milan in July. Watch this space.
