Group partners with VNUE's StageIt to
broadcast show from FLA Live Arena, Oct
9th
NEW
YORK, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VNUE, Inc.
(OTC:VNUE) announced today that the company has partnered with the
Italian superstar trio Il Volo and will be livestreaming the
group's concert at FLA Live Arena (Sunrise, FL), October
9th, 2022, at 8:15
EST, via VNUE's StageIt platform. The trio's performance at
FLA Live Arena is produced by Live Nation.
And, Il Volo has confirmed that the group will be donating
all proceeds of the livestream to the Red Cross in support of the
victims of Hurricane Ian. VNUE, the FLA Arena, and Il Volo have
all teamed up with the Red Cross for this great cause.
As of today's date, there are 101 people who have lost their
lives due to hurricane Ian with many others injured. There
are hundreds of thousands without power, water, food, gas and other
basic needs. Officials are speculating that Ian is the most costly
hurricane ever to hit Florida,
which made landfall last week as a Category 4 storm.
IL Volo, which means "The
Flight" in Italian, has been delighting audiences around the world
since 2009. Consisting of baritone Gianluca Ginoble, and tenors Piero Barone and Ignazio
Boschetto, the trio describes their music as
"crossover."
Il Volo was scheduled to
perform "Il Volo Live in Concert" at the Barbara B. Mann
Performing Arts Hall in Fort Myers,
Florida, but unfortunately had to cancel this performance
due to Ian's destructive wrath. As a tribute to those who
lost their lives in Ft. Myers and the surrounding areas, and for
all the families whose lives are destroyed and need help
desperately, the group decided to partner with the Red Cross, and
with VNUE, to livestream the concert and donate the proceeds in
support of the victims.
"Our first show ever in the United
States was in Florida at
the beginning of our career and we have the most wonderful memories
performing for our Florida
audience," said Il Volo. "Seeing the videos and
pictures of the devastation hurricane Ian left behind we felt
strongly compelled to give back to the people of Florida and their communities. We
are excited to team up with VNUE, FLA Live Arena and the Red Cross
to bring our live performance, produced by Live Nation, to the
world for the benefit of the victims of hurricane Ian."
Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE, said,
"What has happened because of Ian, especially in Florida, is heartbreaking. As someone
who has a lot of roots in South and West
Florida, this touches me deeply and I am so very thankful to
be able to work with Il Volo on this important cause, and thankful
for their generosity. We are looking forward to presenting
this amazing group to a global audience via StageIt, and raising
money for the Red Cross."
The concert will be available for streaming exclusively on
StageIt.com. Fans may register on StageIt in advance, and
purchase "Notes" which fans may use to virtually attend the
show. The minimum ticket price is $30 (300 Notes), but fans are also encouraged to
donate above and beyond the base price of the ticket. The
five highest donations will receive special prizes from Il Volo,
such as signed set lists or other special memorabilia items.
