The show, conducted by artistic director Alan Palmieri and Elisabetta Gregoraci, will begin at 21. On stage, great names in Italian music, young talents loved by the public and a great international guest.
Let's start with the absolute revelation of 2019, the winner of the Sanremo Festival, both among the young and the big names, the Italian-Egyptian singer-songwriter Mahmood. For some years already Alessandro had distinguished himself as an author of successful songs collaborating, among others, with Marco Mengoni. With "Soldi", after the victory in Sanremo, he also won second place at Eurovision (best result ever for Italy) and won the Ogae Poll, the survey conducted among 45 clubs in Europe (over 3 thousand ago) to decree the favorite song among those competing at Eurovision. In short, a great character, eagerly awaited on the Battiti stage.
But the wait will also be great for the trio of wonders, Il Volo: this year Ignazio Boschetto, Gianluca Ginoble and Piero Barone celebrate their 10-year career. The three young tenors have in a very short time become among the most famous Italians abroad, authentic international stars, acclaimed all over the world. They have already recorded six albums, the latest released this year, "Musica", with the first single, "Musica che resta", and currently in high radio rotation with "A chi mi dice".
In Vieste there will also be a great name of Italian music, Gigi D'Alessio, fresh from the brilliant experience of coach in "The Voice", where he triumphed with Carmen. On the musical front, Gigi is back this year with the single that anticipates the album, "Quanto amore si dare", with the participation of Guè Pequeno, and immediately hit the web: 3 million views in about a month, numbers that project the song to become one of the summer 2019 hits.
And speaking of Guè Pequeno, in the first stage of Battiti there will also be him, a pillar of Italian rap. Tomorrow, June 21, "Gelida estate", her new album, is released, anticipated in recent days by the single "Montenapo", built on the sampling of a famous dance hit from the 90s, "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" by Crystal Waters . His latest album, "Sinatra", released less than a year ago, is currently certified platinum.
A hit also promises to be "Mambo salentino", by Boomdabash with Alessandra Amoroso. The Salento formation, which is in the cast of Vieste, returns to Battiti after the success of a year ago with "Non ti dico no". Without considering the great success of "Per un Mio" this spring.
In Vieste there will also be the undisputed queen of summer hits, Giusy Ferreri. After "Amora e Capoeira", which followed in Rome-Bangkok, this year Giusy tries again with Jambo, in third place in the Spotify 50 ranking, in fourth place in the FIMI ranking of best-selling singles, and which is climbing the ranking Earone of the most played songs on the radio. The song was also made this year with Takagi & Ketra, two who understand catchphrases, two who have never missed a beat since they were born: they will be there too in the first stage of Battiti.
Among the names that will drive teenagers crazy the most is certainly that of Irama, who a few months after the stupendous ballad "The girl with the heart of milk" came out with a new single in view of the summer, "Arrogante", " a light song, which wants to make summer dream and live”, explained the artist, who launched the Arrogant Challenge, a challenge on the ballet of the piece, already re-proposed by many VIPs, including Bobo Vieri.
In the rich program of the first stage of Battiti there are also two young female voices already loved by the general public: Elodie and Levante. The Roman-Salento singer has recently launched "Margarita", with the featuring of Marracash. So another duet after the one with Michele Bravi in "Nero Bali" or with Ghemon in "Rambla" to challenge the other summer hits. Levante, on the other hand, is making her debut on Battiti's stage where she will certainly also propose her latest work "Everything will be fine", the single that announces the release of the next album "Magmamemoria", the fourth of her career.
In Battiti, as always, ample space for rappers and the protagonists of the Italian hip hop scene: in addition to the aforementioned Guè Pequeno, there will be the welcome return of Mondo Marcio, back this year with a new album "Uomo!", which contains important collaborations, including the one with Mina in the new single "Angels and demons". Younger, but much followed, Fred De Palma, who after making people dance for the whole of last summer with "D'estate non vale", this year grants an encore with the Latin pop star Ana Mena in the new song, "Once still”, a mix between rap and reggaeton. The battery of rappers Luchè closes, who instead this summer proposes "Parliamo", the new single produced by Charlie Charles, contained in "Il Giorno Dopo", a reissue of the album "Potere".
The program of the very rich first stage of Radionorba Battiti Live closes with one of the most famous djs in Italy, Gabry Ponte, who this year will present a new format, an evolution of his dj show: in fact, he will mix exclusively for Battiti the whole hottest music of the moment, from trap to pop rock, and some classic pieces of Italian music."The cast that we propose in Vieste is a perfect puzzle and satisfies all targets", declares Marco Montrone, president of Radionorba. “We will meet again old friends like Gigi, Giusy with Takagi&Ketra, Gabry, but we will also welcome other artists like Il Volo and Mahmmod on the Battiti stage for the first time”.
Once again this year the public in the square will be able to ask questions directly to the artists on stage and in the audience there will once again be the 15-year-old web star and actress, Mariasole Pollio. The corps de ballet led by Federica Posca was also very confirmed, with the participation, among others, of Bryan Ramirez, dancer from the cast of Amici.
The show will be broadcast live on Telenorba and RadionorbaTv as well as obviously on Radionorba frequencies and in streaming on radionorba.it and norbaonline.it. Furthermore, in July it will be broadcast on a delayed basis on Italia 1. The television direction is signed by Luigi Antonini.
The show, organized under the patronage of the City of Vieste, will begin at around 21 pm, but the activities in the square will start from the early afternoon, with the sound check and an afternoon pre-show conducted by southern radio DJs with music, entertainment and many gadgets offered by Battiti Live sponsors. This year the partners of the event are Tim, Fiat, Nintendo Switch, Coca Cola Future Legend, Nuii, Dok and Famila, Carta Wow and Betpoint, Wella's official hair stylist. Admission is free as always.
