Max Pezzali: the evening-event at the Imola Autodrome is the largest karaoke that has ever been seen in Italy

While assisting the maxi-event of Max Pezzali atEnzo and Dino Ferrari Autodromo di Imola – a more unique concert than rare in a frame that has done era both for the history of the engines and for that of music – I convince myself of two things: that there is no singer in Italy of which fans know all the songs like those of Max, and that if only max pezzali ordered the 85 thousand people piled up under the stage To conquer Gaul would have no problem bending it in three minutes, the time to sing The queen of celebrity. Even though I am thirty -five years old and I grew up with his songs I had never seen Max Pezzali in concert: «Going to a Max concert is like taking part in a gigantic karaoke “my friends and colleagues told me while my head ran punctually to all the times that, as a child, I attended the show of some foreign singer and I tried to emit the closest sounds as possible to English to take part in that great collective rite that is a concert, and they were right. The beautiful thing about Max Pezzali’s concerts is, as he himself says just before going on stage, the affection of his audience: «When I see the number of tickets sold gradually I realize that those who have obviously seen me have fun in the past: It is very likely that the same people who can’t wait to see what we will do next time, “says Max Pezzali without having the certainty that it is in fact like this, I can confirm it to him: in the parterre of Max Forever – Grand Prix Dozens and dozens of fans have already seen Max in the past and who are looking forward to singing his successes at the outcome with him once again.

Like a group of five friends from Rome who wear a white t-shirt with “883” written on it Max Pezzali have already seen him nine times. What leads you to return every time? I ask. “He” reply as their eyes light upexactly as those of three friends of the province of Savona light up who joke about being “elderly”: «It is our second time at a Max concert, the first was in Turin. This morning we woke up at 6 to be here for a good hour: with him it is always like going back in time, in the 1980s that we have lived and that we are missing so much “, they explain as they tighten the band with the written” Max Forever ” – the merchandising in this concert is very strong – around the head. A little further on, I spread to the ground near the stage above a beach towel, a family from Bergamo – Mom, dad and two girls of five and six years old – They care about the idea that their idol is about to perform live: “We hope it will do our favorites” says one of the girls. What are they? “All. Because they are all beautiful », replies with innocence. The sky above the autodrome of Imola has just left the sunset behind them when the lights go out and the maxi-scenes on the sides of the stage appears max that drives the motorcycle in the circuit before materializing in the meat and bones e sing Like a deca, Blue, red and yellow jacket and sunglasses.

From that moment on, it is not clear if you scream more max pezzali from the stage or the people in the presence: Don’t lead me – the very first, Back in vogue after the success of the Sky Original series directed by Sydney Sibilia that “he created great interest also for those who did not follow this and did not follow it. Like my mother’s friends » -, Jolly Blue, They killed the spider man, You are a myth, True, The long summer summer: The public knows them all and is not afraid to prove it. Among Guido Meda who accompanies this virtual race of songs with his commentary, the protagonists designed for the occasion by Roberto Recchioni who flow from behind the gigantic Ledwalls and an unmissable featuring like that of Empty bottles Together with Riccardo Zanotti of the nuclear tactical penguins – “he is a great friend with whom I am also having fun sharing memes”, says Max – there is, however, the time to propose some pieces that in his live has almost always missed. As Heaps, A song proposed only in the very first tour in discos in 1993 and never more recanted because of the delicate theme of heroin, e Without having you herethat Pezzali did not propose from, his words, “different geological eras”. “My songs have become everyone’s heritage, thanks to that idea of generalized adolescence regardless of the material references that everyone has. I caught the melancholy of time that passes “confesses Max Pezzali before heating the engines of the evening, but what relationship does it have with time and with that “forever” that gives the title to the Imola event?

«In this project the” forever “helps me to think that we came out of everyday life to think a little bigger. In this work we think of tomorrow and to the day after tomorrow and go ahead until it comes to being pathetic and go on stage with the piano. The idea that there is a repertoire that survives me is very beautiful “Max is still thinking, who, a song after passage, gives a rare power show, capable of scrolling like a breathtaking race that at each hairpin bend (vowel) becomes more and more bombastic. Many iconic moments: the 85 thousand lights that accompany the moment of A love song; the instant in which the band is presented during The hard law of the goallike a team of pilots by Max team, ; the confetti exploded in full beer during In the NottEe the moving gift to the pilots who have made the past and recent history on the notes of Years. In short, the date of Imola for Max Pezzali does the story even if it is not that the last chapter of an unstoppable and unprecedented success, which is told with record numbers. After this event – conceived by Double Trouble Club, Lemonadnpeper and Studio Prodesign, produced and organized by Vivo concerts – it will be the turn, in 2026, of the tour in the stadiums Max Forever The Golden Years – Stadium 2026which boasts when we already write 240 thousand tickets sold. Because if there is one thing that Max Pezzali is very good at doing, it is reinventing and keeping his myth alive without ever ruining him, simply remaining “one who enjoys looking at the people who have fun”.
