Antonello Venditti concert postponed to 1 September

The concert organized by Standout Events featuring Italian singer-songwriter Antonello Venditti and local band Winter Moods which was planned for this Friday 24 August will be postponed to Saturday 1 September, as a sign of respect towards the two days of national mourning on Friday and Saturday following the passing away of former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff.

Standout Events wishes to inform the public that the venue of the 1 September concert will remain the same, that is, MFCC Ta’ Qali, and the timing too remains unchanged at 8pm with the start of the Winter Moods concert, followed by Antonello Venditti on stage at 9.30pm.

People already in possession of entrance tickets will be automatically allowed inside the venue on Saturday 1 September. In case of any refunds, one can contact Ticketline by e-mail on info@ticketline.com.mt  or contact Standout Events on 2745 0000 or by e-mail on info@standoutevents.com.mt .

Standout Events apologizes for any inconvenience caused, but felt it was appropriate to move the date of the event given the events happening in Malta over this weekend. Standout Events thank first and foremost the management of Antonello Venditti for providing an alternative date within the singer’s Unica tour schedule, as well as thanks to MFCC, sponsors and the media for supporting this change of date.

“The interest shown by the public for this concert featuring the legendary Italian singer-songwriter Antonello Venditti and Malta’s most popular band Winter Moods is amazing. We augur that the public understands the need for postponing the date of event and we promise that all those who attend will be thrilled by the musical experience that Venditti and Winter Moods will offer,” said Antonella Vassallo, Director of Standout Events.

Venditti was in Malta in June to promote his concert. A veteran of the Italian music scene and one of its most popular artists, he has a considerable following in Malta. To date he has released over 30 albums, the latest is 2011’s Unica, which features the controversial Berlusconi-inspired song “La ragazza del Lunedi (Silvio)”. The concert will feature also classics such as “In Questo Mondo di Ladri”, “Sotto il Segno dei Pesci”, “Buona Domenica”, and “Grazie Roma”. Venditti’s Malta concert is part of his ongoing Unica 2012 tour.
