It is really an extraordinary opportunity which comes from the past and writes in the present a chapter of “music history inside history”Ĭoncertgoers should be advised that tickets are limited to a maximum of two per person for one show only (not both) and are priced at 300 each plus 15% booking fee. Once again the Amphitheatre will be a privileged set for this show and we are sure that as happened in 1971 it will generate the same magical atmosphere and the same big emotions that only the unique combination of a place with no time like Pompeii with marvelous music can create.

Pompeii is now experiencing a real rebirth and is ready to welcome this amazing Artist who, together with his band, made the music history of this century and at the same time left a deep mark on the history of the Pompeii site with his memorable show with closed doors in 1971.
