Following the success of Leone Goes Pop’s 4th edition, which was held in Victoria in June. The Leone Band of Victoria (Gozo) said it is proudly presents the repeat performance in Marsalforn Bay, in aid of Arka Foundation.

This open-air concert in Marsalforn’s Il-Menqa will take place on Tuesday, the 26th of July 2011, starting at 9.00pm. Entrance and seating is free-of-charge on a first-come-first-served basis.

The fourth edition of Leone Goes Pop in June was something completely different from previous editions, in that the entertainment was not solely provided by ancillary dancers and animators, but also by the band itself. The audience on the evening were able to enjoy a varied entertainment of music and dance.

In the next performance the repertoire will remain the same, however, the context, the production and the choreography will all be new, which, the organisers “promise will not let down those who have been keenly following the pop concert events over the last four years. Excerpts from Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Vianello, Armstrong, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and no less than Beethoven himself will entertain everyone in Gozo’s most popular summer resort,.”

The Marsalforn concert will be the last public event for the Leone Band before the Santa Marija period of festivities, during which the band will perform another open-air concert – Leone Band in concert – the festa edition, in Savina Square, Victoria, on Tuesday, the 9th of August 2011, starting at 9pm.

This time round, the Leone is presenting a concert dedicated to film music. It will feature blockbuster names and title soundtracks that made history in Hollywood alongside the film titles themselves. The band said that “a taster of how successful film-music is, has already been given in the 2nd edition of Leone Goes Pop, way back in 2008. This time, it will be completely different. with a a full programme of film music.”
