"The success of pre-sales, with an audience really coming from all over the world, gives us reason about the choice. It was not ever sell over a thousand tickets for a concert outside Italy in Sicily. "

alot of us fuckers traveling!! we break the record!!


"Hello Carmelo, first wanted to congratulate you for inviting Eddie Vedder in a location so striking as the Teatro Antico in Taormina and for the excellent feedback you received. The first date went virtually sold out in six hours, the second is approaching to be.
PearlJamOnLine.it as we have seen, in over twenty years, many concerts of Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder around the world but never in a setting like that - for lack of better terms - beautiful and historic as the Teatro Antico in Taormina . How was it possible to get to call Eddie Vedder in Sicily? You know, the lead singer of Pearl Jam has never visited the city and its theater?

Carmelo: Vedder has never performed in Sicily, either solo or with Pearl Jam. Obviously I do not know if there has ever come on vacation, but do not think. On this occasion, it will stay three days in Taormina (will come the following day to Florence concert) and will be able to see the beauty of the places, but also to dive into our sea and sample the delights of local cuisine. To the type of concert that brings touring the Ancient Theatre seems a perfect place, and in fact the artist immediately agreed to come and play, for two dates!

You have organized concerts of authentic legends in the Teatro Antico, from Bob Dylan to Patti Smith until you get to Robert Plant and Ben Harper. How did you come to mind to call their own Eddie Vedder?

Carmelo: The list of concerts of international stars that I organized at the Teatro Antico is long: in addition to the names you made I can not mention Peter Gabriel, Sting, Carlos Santana, Duran Duran, James Blunt. This year we went in search of a unique and very prestigious and I think there is no better artist Eddie Vedder. The success of pre-sales, with an audience really coming from all over the world, gives us reason about the choice. It was not ever sell over a thousand tickets for a concert outside Italy in Sicily. The territory on the economic impact will be significant, with full hotels and restaurants.

You are also a fan of Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder. What is the song you want to hear in one of the two evenings?

Carmelo: Well, the answer is not easy. Many songs of Pearl Jam were the soundtrack of a time in my life, in the '90s. If I have to indicate a particularly suited to the atmosphere of the Ancient Theatre, I would say Immortality that leads me to memories of 23 years ago. Do not, however, be underestimated some soundtracks that are on everyone's mind.

Some technical questions we have placed our readers. The Ten Club, the official fan club of Pearl Jam, had the first refusal for their patrons ticket relevant to Level 1 and 3 of the theater. Which sectors are sold on ticketone.it exactly match these tickets?

Carmelo: Level 1 corresponds in part to the stall Stalls VIP and partly to Poltronissima Central tribune, are the best places. Level 3 corresponds to the Cavea Numbered.

For what time the start of the concerts? There will also be a big screen?

Carmelo: Eddie Vedder will begin at 21:45 o'clock. It will be preceded at 20:30 by special guest Glen Hansard, it will be a very interesting performance. There will be big screens and set design will be the natural Theatre, enhanced with special lights. From this point of view the Taormina concerts will be a "unique", totally different from the other stages of the European tour. Those who have never attended an event in the Ancient Theatre jaws will hit the atmosphere. It would be nice to organize among the fans a collective power of lighters on a particular track: an image comes out thrilling! I gave you an idea?

Good idea, we'll definitely return! About lighters, cigarettes you can smoke inside the Theatre?

Carmelo: The Theatre is an outdoor venue and so there are no legal restrictions in this regard. Saw the crowds, however if any one can help but it is better for her health and that of his neighbors place ...

Instead, you can bring cameras or video cameras within the venue?

Carmelo: Certainly not professional or bulky tools. Today, however, every phone has a built-in camera and you have to get over it. Normally the artists do not like to be disturbed while performing.

There will be dedicated transport organized by Palermo / Catania and heading to Taormina?

Carmelo: As previously mentioned many spectators will come from outside Sicily and maybe will use the opportunity to stop at a hotel in Taormina or surrounding areas. Normally organized bus are made by some travel agencies and not directly from us. Advice to those who want to make use of search on the Internet, maybe in a couple of weeks.
Carmelo: Thank you, see you in Taormina.
