Patti Smith will open the fourth edition of 'the world's longest New Year’s Eve', the only Italian initiative that offers not only a main event in the evening of December 31st, but a rich calendar of events and appointments that will last more than a month.
The kick off the program is on December 3rd with the famous American singer-songwriter Patti Smith, who will present “The (Patti) Smiths”, an acoustic project, she will be bringing around to some of the most prestigious Italian theatres. Patti Smith will perform on the stage of the Novelli Theatre in Rimini with her sons, Jesse Paris and Jackson, along with the guitarist Tony Shanahan.
It was the '60s when young Patti Smith, in her early twenties, moved to New York City to find her way. The rest is history: from the relationship with the photographer Robert Mapple to the very first performances in the historic CBGB's, the contract with Arista and the publication of "Horses", one of the most popular albums in the history of rock. Patti Smith is a singer and poet of great talent, among the most influential artists of all times and she has certainly obtained a place in the Olympus of rock legends. Her songs like "People Have The Power", "Gloria", "Dancing Barefoot" and "Because The Night" have become real milestones in the music field.
The calendar of events will continue until January 2015 with a party lasting more than a month. Every corner of the city will be transformed into an open-air stage for a month of music, art, performances and great concerts with national and international artists.
The Christmas lights and markets, the traditional nativity scenes and those made up of sand, will light up the atmosphere of the most awaited holidays giving the whole city a new welcoming aspect already from the beginning of December.
The highlight is, as usual, on December 31st with many New Year’s Eve events, from the great concert in Piazzale Fellini, to the performances and innovative proposals on schedule in the historic center, in order to suit all tastes and all ages during the whole night. And when the clock strikes midnight, the beautiful and multicolored fireworks display will light up the sky over the sea in winter to welcome the new year.
The calendar is under construction and will be constantly updated. Check in here:
