Cccp – Faithful to the party line: the Rome concert moves to the Cavea. Here's how it works for tickets

15-04-2025

The Cccp – Fedeli alla Linea concert originally scheduled for June 30, 2025 at Circo Massimo in Rome, as part of the Ultima chiamata tour, has been moved to June 27, 2025 at the Cavea Auditorium Parco Della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome. The band's press office has announced the change. Tickets already purchased remain valid for the new date and venue. Refunds can be requested by May 12 through the Ticketone website. The decision, which came out of the blue, has nonetheless sparked no small amount of controversy among fans.

Voices on social media were quick to weigh in: "It was predictable. They couldn't sell enough tickets for Circo Massimo, and since they couldn't cover the costs, they had to move the date," writes one user on a Facebook fan page. Another expresses all their frustration with a simple but telling "what a bummer." And there are also those worried about the concert experience itself: "I hope I'll be able to stand," comments someone else, referring to the different kind of space the Cavea offers compared to an arena like Circo Massimo.

Meanwhile, a new album from CCCP – Faithful to the party line is on its way, following the successful reunion decided a year and a half ago. This is the third release in this short span of time, confirming that the reunion between Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Massimo Zamboni, Annarella Giudici and Danilo Fatur has proven more fruitful than expected.

After the compilation released alongside the exhibition "Felicitazioni! CCCP – Faithful to the party line 1984-2024" and the previously unreleased live album "Anything but new, new", issued 40 years after the release of their first EP "Ortodossia", CCCP are today releasing the audio and video recording of "Gran Gala Punkettone", the show of words and music by CCCP – Faithful to the party line (USM / Universal Music Italy).

"Gran Gala Punkettone" had its national preview screening on March 21 at Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia, where the band, in an exclusive appearance for Teatro Valli, staged the first act of CCCP's Public Ceremony of Farewell and Thanks, directed by Fabio Cherstich.

The show of words and music by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Massimo Zamboni, Annarella Giudici and Danilo Fatur, which also featured appearances on stage by Daria Bignardi, Alba Solaro and Andrea Scanzi, directed by Fabio Cherstich, is available in the following formats: CD + DVD, LP + DVD, Box CD + LP + DVD with a 16-page booklet featuring photos from the evening, and in a special limited, numbered edition with crystal vinyl LP, exclusively on the Universal Music online store (https://cccp.lnk.to/grangala).

"Gran Gala Punkettone" was held on October 21 and 22, 2023 at Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia, marking the reunion of CCCP – Faithful to the party line after nearly 34 years since their last concerts. The show celebrated the opening of the Felicitazioni! exhibition at the Chiostri di San Pietro in Reggio Emilia, which drew over 45,000 visitors. Both evenings sold out within minutes, confirming fans' enthusiasm for the return of one of the most influential bands in Italian rock and punk.

This summer, CCCP – Faithful to the party line will once again take the stage in Italy's major cities for the final tour "CCCP – ultima chiamata", conceived and curated in collaboration with Musiche Metropolitane's Luca Zannotti, kicking off on June 30 in Rome. Pre-sale tickets are available through the usual outlets. Below are the dates for "CCCP – ultima chiamata":

June 30 – Rome – Auditorium Parco della Musica

July 3 – Legnano (Milan) – Castello di Legnano

July 8 – Naples – Ex Base Nato

July 12 – Bari – Fiera Del Levante, as part of Locus Festival

July 18 – Piazzola Sul Brenta (Padua) – Villa Contarini

July 24 – Rimini – Piazzale Federico Fellini

July 30 – Taormina – Teatro Antico di Taormina

The CCCP – Faithful to the party line – Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Massimo Zamboni, Annarella Giudici, Danilo Fatur – will therefore take to the stage once again at Italy's major festivals for one last call.

It was the 80s in all their splendor, emerging from crude television sets

set into multifunctional furniture

just before the global markets – produce, consume, croak – it was the 80s, in the West

where the day sets

where things come to fruition.

Summary

The Benemerita Soubrette and the artist of the people, the grated guitar and the declaimed howl

beasts of the stage, alive and living

What was, what has been

Is what survived.

In Fedeltà, the line is there. I stand alert.

After the exhibition "Felicitazioni! CCCP – Faithful to the party line 1984-2024", the "Gran Gala Punkettone di parole e immagini", the three sold-out dates at the Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin with the concert "CCCP in DDDR" and the release of the previously unreleased live album "Anything but new, new", 40 years after the release of their first EP "Ortodossia", Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Massimo Zamboni, Annarella Giudici and Danilo Fatur, together with the band made up of Luca Rossi, Simone Filippi, Ezio Bonicelli, Simone Beneventi and Gabriele Genta, took to the stages of Italy's major festivals and squares, cementing themselves as one of the most anticipated events of summer 2024. Bringing to the stage classic tracks, from "Oh! Battagliero" to "Emilia Paranoica", from "Morire" and "Curami", all the way to "Amandoti".

Far from being a nostalgia trip, always free from labels and boundaries, CCCP – Faithful to the party line returned by popular demand to speak to today's world, in a series of live shows straddling the sacred and the profane, where the slogan "Produci, consuma, crepa" rings out as relevant as ever. Their success has been shaped by an ability to make every gesture iconic, leaving an indelible mark on the imagination of multiple generations.
