It was 11 when yesterday morning during the presentation of the Mahmood concert scheduled for next 31 July, the mayor of Iglesias Mauro Usai officially activated the digital platform through which it would be possible to book a free event destined to host over 7 thousand people.
Within three hours, the show sold out ; at 3.15 pm the system announced the deadline for registrations for the maximum achievement of the foreseen places. The “concertomahmoodiglesias2022.com” portal was literally stormed, exhausting the availability of reservations in such a short period of time that it left the organization itself stunned.
The artist
A milestone that certifies the scope of an event that aspires to the scepter of the musical event among the most relevant in the panorama of summer shows in the entire region, because numbers in hand, the 30-year-old Alessandro Mahmoud, aka Mahmood, born in Milan from his mother Sardinian and Egyptian father, he is the artist capable of exhibiting 21 platinum and 12 gold discs (sold in Italy and abroad). His latest winning song of the Sanremo festival "Broglie", boasts the record of the most listened to song ever in a single day, on one of the best known music platforms (almost 3.5 million streams) and all the stages of his tour "Ghettolimpo" have long been in "sold out" mode.
Viability and parking
The city of Iglesias is ready to host the artist's only date in Sardinia and, as for any self-respecting big event, it will have to prepare to shape itself around it, redesigning the roads for the occasion , making a large area only pedestrian , ensuring an deployment of law enforcement agencies to protect safety and making public transport available to remedy the criticality of any traffic congestion. The center of the scene will be the Monteponi sports field: « A satellite system of parking lots around the stadium and a well-detailed plan on the road network - explains the mayor Mauro Usai - will make it possible not to clog the nearby historic center. Furthermore, to allow for the large influx of people who will pour in from all parts of the territory, we have entered into an agreement with Trenitalia that will allow them to arrive in the city and leave again, for Cagliari and Carbonia, with a last run at one in the morning ".
