Zucchero returns to Malta next month

Music Hall Events has announced that Italian singersongwriter Zucchero will be playing a full-scale concert at the MFCC Open Air Grounds in Ta’ Qali on Saturday 5 August. As part of his Black Cat World Tour 2017, the singer will be performing songs from his 2016 album, Black Cat, as well as some of his iconic classics, including X colpa di chi?, Diavolo in me, Baila (Sexy Thing), and Il volo.

Zucchero, who was last in Malta for a full-scale concert during his Chocabeck World Tour in 2011, has become renowned around the world as the ‘father of Italian blues’. And with good reason, too, as, over the past three decades, he has sold over 60 million records and won a vast number of awards, including two World Music Awards, six IFPI Europe Platinum Awards, four Festivalbar Awards, nine Wind Music Awards, and even a Grammy Award nomination.

The Malta concert is taking place after Zucchero’s very successful world tour, during which he has played 120 concerts over 12 months, including two soldout shows at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London and 21 shows at the Arena di Verona – a record for the location within a tour.

Tickets for the 5 August concert at the MFCC Open Air Grounds in Ta’ Qali can be purchased from TicketLine.com.mt. The four tickets options are: standing Bronze, (priced at €30 for early-birds and €40 thereafter) standing Silver (at €60 and then €77), seated Gold (at €90 and then €130), and the Platinum VIP (which includes a welcome drink and canapés, a copy of the Black Cat album CD, a photo of the star, and a meetand-greet with Zucchero himself, at €150 and then €180).
