Ultimo's huge concert opens doors: Liquid and power banks allowed for the first time

Italian singer Ultimo's huge concert for fans began with great excitement, opening its doors in the early hours of the morning. Turnstiles were activated at 07:00 in the morning to welcome the expected 250,000 fans in the 150,000-square-meter giant area located in the Tor Vergata district of Rome to watch the "La favola per sempre" event to be held tonight. Hours before the event, a large majority of the fans had already started waiting in tents they set up a kilometer near the area days in advance to grab a suitable spot. To accommodate this massive crowd, organizers and security teams took their places on the field and completed preparations for a long day.

This historic "Raduno degli Ultimi" meeting organized for Ultimo's fans also marks a first in Italian concert history, pioneering a very significant behavioral change. Within the scope of the organization taking place today, some basic items that were previously banned due to strict security rules were allowed into the area to facilitate life without risking the safety of the participants. Accordingly; for the first time, fans will be able to easily bring plastic water bottles, sun creams, and devices like rechargeable power banks into the concert area after passing through security checks. This practice stems from the respect for the basic needs of the crowd who will wait under the sun for hours on the hot July day.

Extensive logistical arrangements and food stations have been put into effect across the area to manage a crowd of approximately a quarter of a million. Along with 46 separate restaurants and 48 mobile food trucks offered to participants, a counter line approximately 1 kilometer long was created for food and beverage service. It was stated that a cashless payment system is valid for all expenditures within the area to increase the flow of the organization and prevent possible cash theft. Additionally, a system was activated where unused balances can be easily refunded via the application at the end of the event to lighten the load of the guests.

The field was equipped to be suitable for the substructure to meet the hygiene and water needs of such a large crowd. The distribution of 2000 chemical toilets throughout the Tor Vergata concert area and free water drinking stations fed by more than twenty water tanks are of vital importance. The physical space organization, as a reference to Ultimo's album catalogs, was divided into six different sections. While these areas are named after the artist's albums; the "Altotre", "Alba", "Solo", "Colpa delle favole", "Peter Pan" and the "Pianeti" section in the very front row are included.

Among the latest developments before the concert, the general rehearsal held on 2 July with the participation of 1500 disabled individuals was quite successful and the organization became ready. The artist's new album "Il giorno che aspettavo", released on 19 June and received great interest, has been at the top of the Fimi album charts for two weeks. This meaningful concert serves not only as a music event but also as a testing ground for a modernized security approach that takes participant comfort into account.
