Since its debut on the Versilia Riviera, first heat It turns out to be a festival you could never have imagined with a quality line-up, And it’s also unusual to see a festival in Italy that takes place over two weekends (June 16-18 and June 23-25) without focusing on the classic three-day event. Let’s imagine that this strategy is dictated by the fact that once you’ve stayed in a magical place like Versilia (hotel amenities have very high prices) you also decide to enjoy the opportunities that the area provides. does.

Suitable for relaxation from sandy beaches, to more muscular excursions in the nearby Apuan Alps. Or you can decide to take an interesting bike tour between the hills and the sea. without forgetting the art. Nearby is Pietrasanta which is also worth stopping for an aperitif in the Piazza del Duomo amid the marble statues and installations. Dulcis in fundo, gastronomy: how can we forget about taste? But let’s make a quick list of La Prima estate shows that – in our opinion – you absolutely can’t miss.

Nas, Bicep, Bon Iver: The most anticipated live performance from La Prima Estate

Let’s start right away with Friday, June 16, the first day of the festival. The urban and popular background of his first work, from the chaotic and dark streets of Queens, illmaticOn the stage of La Prima Estate. Nas will close out the first evening and is set to bring to Lido di Camaiore all of the East Coast’s unmistakable sound and songs that have made it one of hip hop’s corners all over the world., A show to attend at least once in a lifetime.

On the 17th we will be ready to take part in one of the most intense events of almost all the festivities. That of Bon Iver, which had already demonstrated in November that it dazzled not only with its musical performances but also with the high-quality staging thanks to a priceless work of lighting design. We don’t know if he will arrive on stage with the same scenographic set-up (very likely he will not bring the same giant mirrors that were present in the Milan Forum). But when Justin Vernon and his retinue appear on stage, there is no confusion.

But on the 17th our whole curiosity is about America’s indie heroin, Japanese Breakfast. Michelle Zauner’s Stage Name, Who We’ll Finally See Live, And that our Piergiorgio Pardo interviewed some time ago about her latest studio album Jubilee and her poignant autobiographical book, crying in h mart, I saw him live in the now distant 2016 and I am sure his show will be a far cry from that immature set.

The day after tomorrow there will be a set to dance from start to finish bicep, Their name already has everything: it means fishes in English, but it’s also an abbreviation for an astrophysics experiment. The Irish duo (Andy Ferguson and Matt McBryer) flesh out the sound and escape into the unknown., There His home blends retromaniacal taste with never the less dense surroundings and the most contemporary techno, A very personal opinion, I would swap the Saturday and Sunday line ups. Simply because it was nice to start a Saturday night dancing to the tunes of Bon Iver and end a relaxed Sunday.

Also on stage are Metro Boomin and Jamiroquai.

In the second weekend, two unique people stand out, the Jamiroquais return to Italy and first arrival Boomin Metro, We last saw Jason KJ on stage in a glossy bob in 2017, and he also introduced us to “the joy of his life,” little daughter Carla. Now it’s time to celebrate 30 years of the band’s activity and dust off the great classics for us under the stars of Versilia, maybe even listen to some unreleased songs. All of Kee Jay’s albums have been reissued on vinyl.

If the sound of trap has changed in the last ten years, it’s because of Metro Boomin. From 2013 to date, Metro Boomin’s hands and brains have crafted many of the most iconic productions from overseas, shaping musical carpets for artists such as Young Thug, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, The Weeknd and Drake. On June 25, he will play in Italy for the first time.
