Arezzo Wave 2004

Between the 6/11th July at Arezzo will be the annual "Arezzo Wave". It's the nearest Tuscany gets to an outdoor Glastonbury and thousands of people make there way down the Autostrada towards Rome to enjoy the musical festivities.It's also FREE which makes it really popular!

You can bring a tent and pitch it but don't expect green fields, in fact many Italians go and take a walk around the camp site, I think to remind themselves how lucky they were to bring a car!

Here is a[link] link to the Arezzo Wave 2004 website, a page that the organisers have put togther in English.

Report:
This years ArezzoWave 2004 had a great selection of music of which the highlight for many was the appearance of Cypress Hill, who gave a 90 minute performance on the Friday of the festival. Saturday promised a rare opportunity to see two of Africa's great performers - Roika Troure from Mali and Miriam Makeba - it was then left to ElectroWave at the commercial centre to provide the music until the early hours.
