LateRooms.com - Vasco Rossi to Perform in Turin

    TURIN, ITALY, February 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For a real taste of Italian music, travellers should consider taking in a concert by one of the greatest rock stars the country has produced, Vasco Rossi, who is performing in Turin this spring.

Some people outside of Italy may not have heard of the legendary musician, but anyone staying in Turin hotels in early April may get to know his music and his fans, as he is doing eight dates at the Palaisozaki.

The prolific singer-songwriter has pumped out 21 albums in his 30-year career and even had the video for his Gli Angeli track made by legendary filmmaker Roman Polanski.

Just like the Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby director, controversy has followed the performer throughout his career, mainly due to swear words that appeared in his songs.

But his infamy no doubt helped him become popular with a generation of Italians and he has since broken the record for the largest ever audience in the country's history, when he gathered 150,000 people for a concert at the Imola Autodrome.

Now, anyone who wants to check out this living legend can head to the Palaisozaki - or Palasport Olimpico as it is also known - on April 6th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 17th, 21st or 22nd to experience a show.

Tickets for each of the dates can be purchased online and start from EUR139 (GBP122).

Commenting on Vasco Rossi, Jessica Reading, head of marketing for LateRooms, said: "We strongly urge people thinking of going to Vasco Rossi and who need hotel Torino to book early to avoid disappointment."
