Rock band Genesis will perform their biggest concert ever with a free gig for more than 400,000 fans at an ancient hippodrome in Rome.

The concert at the Circo Massimo on 14 July will be the final show of the band's first tour in 15 years.

There will be no tickets, and people are being told to turn up on the day on a first come first served basis.

Two tour dates in Austria and the Czech Republic have had to be rescheduled as a result of the Rome announcement.

The concert in Linz, Austria at the Gugglestadium has been moved to 19 June, while the Prague concert in the Czech Republic at the Strahov football stadium will now take place on 20 June.

All tickets will be honoured or refunded.

The Circo Massimo has hosted many big events before, including Live8.

Old news. I live in Rome but I think that even if I "try" to go near the Circo Massimo 2 days before, I won't get a good place to see the show. That day the metro would be full of people from everywhere, every part of Italy and maybe every part of the world Wacko
 
Anyway.. is there anybody on this forum who is planning to go there (to come here if you want Tongue)  ?

I heard 2007 Ozzfest was going to be free as well.
No relevance, I know.

I don't have the money to fly from Quebec to Rome, but it would have been nice to be there.

You too?!? And how is it that we've never met?LOL

However, I wouldn't go there for a number of reasons. First of all, Genesis without Gabriel or Hackett don't interest me in the least. Second, I hate crowds, and such situations are definitely not for me.

Didn't think you were from Italy and from Rome, cool !!!!!    Thumbs%20Up
 
me too. me and some friends of mine were planning to go there. but without Peter and Steve, it's not worth the money. eh eh there's no money. Anyway, I don't stand the crowds, too, and that day would be like loosing 4-5 hours in a crowd just to watch a maxi-screen or something like that.
 
No way.  Wink

I will go, even though I'll keep blaming myself all the time... well, at least I'll have the chance to see some friends in Rome!

Maybe Hackett can play a gig outside the stadium on a flatbed truck as a protest.
