Lucca Summer Festival ‘23

Festival day! Cycled into Lucca on the morning (for Parkrun which was cancelled due to the festival - oops, sorry Joe!) so instead cycled round the top of the city walls.

Back to Giuseppes for a few hours by the pool and lunch before heading back to Lucca to soak up the pre gig vibes! Lucca was buzzing today. Many bucket hats, band t-shirts, espressos, spritz’ and gorgeous Italian snacks that seem to come with every drink!

Festival site was on the edge of the walls. A fair size but not too big. Stalls serving aperol spritz and focaccia. Support act were a London band - Sounds Mint.

Then Blur … finally a concert we did know all the songs and words too! Forgot how many big hits they had. Amazing to see live in such a venue - a relatively ‘small’ stage for Blur. They blew the PA system at one point!

Thanks Lucca … already thinking about our next visit! 🧡Read more
