For logistics reasons, the Italian tour dates scheduled for summer 2022 are undergoing some changes. The Pescara concert on Thursday, August 4th is cancelled and replaced on the same day with a new show at the Cavea dell'Auditorium Parco della Musica di Rome. Cesena's concert instead will move a few kilometers and will be held at Villa Torlonia in San Mauro Pascoli (FC), within the open air festival.

Tickets are on sale now. Refunds for Pescara can be obtained at point of purchase.

Last month a beloved member of the skateboarding community, Zion Williams, 19, was the victim of gun violence and lost his sight. Zion is a brave and inspiring young man who has deeply touched my life on a soul level. I am auctioning off one of my favorite guitars, (which I will also personalize) towards Zion's rehabilitation.
