Olly: a live at the Hippodrome of San Siro “Al Vasco”

It is no coincidence that Vasco Rossi has literally changed his life and way of approaching Olly’s music. The Genoese singer -songwriter born in 2001, which started from the Battle of Freestyle, passed for the curves of the R&B and then for those of electronic music, together with Juli, the manufacturer-Mago with whom he works on his recordsstarted writing Ballatone Pop more and more, with the plant of real steps as a steps, after being at a Komandante concert. It is during one of those gigantic lay masses that the last winner of the Sanremo Festival with “Balorda Nostalgia” included, deeply, the aggregative and collective value of music. And he found, by working on his self -nda identity, the magic in simplicity: the songs must be sung, they must be written to be sung. Together.

His first “big party” staged at the Milan racecourse in front of over 30 thousand people, First of two appointments, both sold out, for a total of almost 70 thousand paying, is “to Vasco”, with all the debt proportions, In the footsteps of one of his masters: a sea of ​​voices, pieces literally sung lungs, hugs, moments of union and sharing, consolidated rituals. And destiny wants his first stadium, in Genoa on June 18, 2026, announced before intoning “thank goodness that there is the sea”, is curiously linked to the history of rocker: it was Vasco in 2004 the last to climb the stage of the Ligurian capital stadium. From that moment on, due to the economic and structural difficulties of the system, the void. The passage of witness, twenty -two years later, with the aim of rekindling the city of the lantern, passes to Olly, which is inextricably linked to that native land. That “lady on the fourth floor that smokes and spreads the laundry”, immortalized in “Balorda nostalgia”, for example, Olly if it really imagined in Piazza delle Erbein the heart of the Caruggi.

What is striking of his first Hippodrome is once again the symbiotic relationship with his fans, made of “non -said”, but also of theaters: The ex -rugbyte girl plays with words, with their gaze, with the body, just like Blasco. Behind his success, like it or not, there are no secrets. Olly, sunglasses and “cowboys jacket” cowboy “, is the one who writes and sings, does not have a character to play. The Genoese singer -songwriter is part of a new group of artists, very young, perhaps grown up with rap as in his case, but who decided to find its own and precise path through the writing of songs with a generational cut That in the center put feelings, loves, life stories, stories of girls and boys. It is Vasco, once again, to appear: at the beginning the verses of “Albachiara” resonate in the darkness And at the end of the song the public is literally projected into a “party”. Pieces like “At the top of their lungs”, “Those memories there”, “Bianca”, “The washing machine broke”, “Scarabocchi”, “devastating”, “The construction sites of Japan”, or “thank goodness that there is the sea”with a tribute to Fabrizio De André’s “Il Pescatore”, they are sincere, well written, they sing as if they were stadium choirs, they outline a world far from the narration of rap and also from much frivolity of a pop that often does not tell anything.

Among the most beautiful pieces of his discography there is “Paranoie”, an old strange and dark single in which Olly spits his ghosts out. And there is no shortage of guests: “I want you” in a duet with Emma, ​​and “above the same boat” with Enrico Nigiotti. To accompany him on stage, in addition to Juli on the guitar, there are Pierfrancesco Pasini (keyboards and guitar), Dalila Murano (battery) e Gas gas (sax). The band is enriched with the presence of Ruffio (electric guitar), Stefan (violin/keyboards) e Nazza (Bass). The live is played with long instrumental parts. The sound is fresh and at the same time classic, and this aspect also photographs well who Olly is today, who never saves itself from an interpretative point of view. Inside some songs, as in the recent “Depressed Fortunato”, a song almost as a tavern, There are splinters of existentialism in Salsa Gen Zalso for this reason a glue is created between him and those who follow him. A process of identification in words, and of almost religious affection from those who listen to them, reminiscent of another generational artist, last.

In the name of all this, of his “people”, Olly after the victory in Sanremo renounced the Eurovisiongiving priority to the already planned tour in the clubs and the announcement of these two gatherings at the racecourse. Also for this reason the two “big holidays” are literally two liberating outbursts, two ways to feel on the skin, that the most difficult choices, in the end, are those that really grow. Looking at what he is collecting, between rankings and certifications, and above all observing the warmth of that its people, With 300,000 tickets sold between 2025 and the already scheduled 2026who has the courage today to tell him “have you made a mistake”?.
