Claudio Baglioni Concert, July 19–20, 2027
Following the health issues experienced by the great Italian artist in the summer of 2026, which made it impossible for him to perform at the concert already scheduled at the Pompeii Amphitheater, Claudio Baglioni will make up for his missed performance in Pompeii with two epic shows, revisiting the hits that have shaped the history of Italian music.
On July 19 and 20, 2027, the Italian artist will take the grand stage of the Pompeii Amphitheater in front of his beloved audience to celebrate together the 40th anniversary of the release of the historic album “La vita è adesso.”
