Bryan Adams and Billy Joel at the Colosseum 31 July.

Bryan and Billy Joel are the “ospiti d’onore” at this year’s free-entry Telecomcert to be held at the Colosseum on Monday, 31 July at 21.00.
Bryan will take the stage first and will sing for about an hour, followed by a two-hour performance by Billy Joel, who hasn’t performed on Italian soil for over 11 years. Bryan’s most recent tour in Italy, but which excluded Rome, was last September.

The event, which is organised by Telecom and the city every summer, boasts a 26-metre long stage and ten megascreens. Numerous tents will be set up to deal with emergencies and three tanks of drinking water will be available to the public. A special area for the disabled (with some 200 seats) will also be available.

Special barriers will be set up to protect the monuments and archaeological sites along Via dei Fori Imperiali.Streets around the Colosseum will remain closed on the evening, as will the metro B “Colosseum” stop. However there will be more night buses (see www.atac.roma.it for more information).
Previous Telecomcerto’s guest stars include Paul McCartney, Simon & Garfunkel and Elton John.

Crowds expected should be in line with previous years’ figures, some half a million spectators. Rome’s mayor Walter Veltroni will be attending this year’s performance.

The show will be screened live on state television Raidue and will be available on the internet in September on Telecom Italia’s site www.rossoalice.it

The concert also will be available to be seen live on internet at:

It is not clear if this runs in real time or is a delayed broadcast, so keep tuned to the site for announcements.
