After two sold out shows, the first in June at the Arena Flegrea and the second in August at Piazza Plebiscito in Naples, the band led by Dario Sansone returns to play live.
Foja return to the stage with their folk rock energy for 9 unmissable dates.
A few weeks after their last concert in their city, Foja, after the first six live shows, continue to perform live for another nine dates that will see Dario Sansone and his associates perform in all the provinces of Campania and a special concert in Rome.
After the release of the album “Miracoli e Rivoluzioni” Foja never stopped and accumulated dozens and dozens of concerts up and down the country with the main epicenter Naples that once again saw them protagonists of memorable shows, not least the one recently held in the iconic Piazza Plebiscito in Naples for the “Restate a Napoli” review – directed by Lello Arena – who strongly wanted the group in his important program. A success with ten thousand presences that once again confirmed the artistic importance of the band loved by its fans and esteemed by great artists of the Neapolitan theater such as Isa Danieli present with them on the prestigious stage.
The second part of the summer tour, which started again in the last few days with the first two live shows in Irpinia and Cilento, will continue from August 27th to end at the beginning of October, thus completing two years of work that for Foja have been full of emotions and commitments, starting from the release of the fourth album that has received excellent acclaim from the public and critics.
