Glenn Hughes, “Perform classical deep Purple Live”, is not coming to Cevio! Due to health reasons he had to cancel all July and August dates. In its place, the square in Cevio will have the honor of hosting for the second time Coreleoni, the project strongly wanted by Gotthard guitarist Leo Leoni, who we are sure are a worthy replacement. In 2018, the band surprised the rock community with their debut album The Greatest Hits - Part 1, which revived Gotthard's old classics, Leo Leoni describes the style as "modern vintage": classic; yet, always in step with the times. They return to Vallemaggia after the excellent concert in 2018, in the current lineup that features together with Leo another excellent guitarist from Ticino, Jgor Gianola (Alto Voltaggio), Mila Merker on bass, Alex Motta on drums and, since 2022, the new vocalist the exceptional singer Eugent Bushpepa, who gives the songs even more authenticity and "old spirit." The intention is always to revisit and recover the energy of Gotthard's early period of activity and at the same time pay a fitting tribute to the late Steve Lee. We have already had confirmation of this by listening to the four albums released so far, the latest a live album with the emblematic title "Alive," released last October. We can expect a sound as hard and pure as in the early days, much to the delight of early Gotthard fans. Alongside several new original songs, an opportunity for younger fans to (re)discover songs that are no longer part of the band's set list today such as Downtown, Firedance, Higher, Here comes the heat, In the name and Let it be. The best of Rock'n'roll at lightning speed!

Who doesn't know the legendary China from Winterthur? The most successful Swiss rock band of the 1980s and early 1990s is back! Founded in 1985, the band quickly achieved star status in Europe and Japan. Their first three albums China, followed by Sign In The Sky and Go All The Way reached the top 10 in the 'Swiss Hit Parade' music charts. Their second album even became a gold record. Not many at the time could compete with their live shows, charisma, and reputation as one of the best live acts in Europe. After several line-up changes and disbandments, in 2021 four members of the first line-up decided to come back and perform the songs that everyone missed and that the Swiss rock fans loved. It is said that whisky and wine only get better with age. Of course, this also applies to the die-hard and passionate 'Chinese' hard rockers. Singer Hardy Hartmeier will not only share the stage with guitarist Claudio Matteo, but both will be in good company, bringing along their old bandmates Freddy Scherer and Marc Lynn from Gotthard, to play unforgettable hits such as In the Middle of The Night, Sign In The Sky and Shout It Out. Rockers of the Vallemaggia Magic Blues, are you ready to feel nostalgic? Put your socks on! CHINA is back!!!
