Afterhours: a free admission live at the Ama Music Festival
It will be an August with the bang that of Ama Music Festival 2025: The August 20 On the stage of the park of Villa Negri (Vicenza) the Afterhoursone of the most influential bands of the Italian music scene of the last thirty years. A Free concert by reservationopen to all, who promises to be one of the most anticipated appointments of summer. Guided by Manuel Agnelli, the Afterhours return on tour to celebrate the 20 years of “ballads for small hyenas”, an album symbol of their artistic maturity, released in 2005 and over the years a reference for entire generations. For the occasion, Agnelli will be joined by Dario Ciffo, Giorgio Prette and Enrico Gabrielli (Viti), historical members of the training that contributed to the creation of that disc, in a live that promises intensity, electricity and moments of pure sound catharsis.
Born in Milan in 1986, the Afterhours have gone through the history of Italian rock with a language in constant evolution: from the underground season of the beginning in English, to the turning point with “Germi” and the masterpiece “are you afraid of the darkness?”, Until the years of maturity with records such as “What is not there”, “Padania” and “Folfiri or Folfox”. Each album told a phase, each song has engraved a wound or open a vision. And even today, almost forty years later, their voice remains urgent, lucid, necessary. August 20 will not be any day of a festival, but a real collective ritual, under the stars of Romano d’Ezzelino, where the music of the Afterhours will return to vibrate live between scratchy guitars, ruthless texts and generational hugs. Admission is free. The emotions, guaranteed.
