Gonna make this short as I have yet to organize my thoughts, but I just gotta say that this gig was just beautiful. 🥰

 

The location was nothing short of stunning. We arrived pretty early in the morning and got to enjoy a fair share of natural treasures. First time in a while I actually queued for a Mika gig and for some reason it was super chill and pretty well organized. And since this was an afternoon gig the wait was totally doable. 🙂

 

The energy of the crowd was infectious, and Mika picked up on the energy and was real chatty and on fire. Sooo happy to hear one of my favorite songs live again "No place in heaven". Melody and me stood on the right side of the stage where Mika went over the barrier whenever he went in the audience. I sang and danced so much. 

 

Unfortunately, I had to run right after the gig to catch my train (still on it for a few more hours 🙃). So I missed out on meeting Mika, but that's ok  It was good to see so many Mika friends again. Always kinda feels like going on a school trip.

It truly was a magical gig! Will post a report and videos later :)

But I also wanted to say thank you for everyone who helped put up the rainbow decoration I spontaneously pulled out of my drawer. It was soo sweet, people from all sides quickly grabbed it and the tape so it was up in 2 minutes and down in 2 as well. I even saw people in the first row checking it every once in a while and gently folding it the right way over.

I found that super sweet ❤️

Dear Deb, hello!

There was a genial "coup de théatre" when he arrived in the center of the crowd, he asked to have everybody  seated on the grass and he sang two songs from there!

Ok time for a report and some videos!

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this gig.

From the stunning location to the relaxed atmosphere due to it not being a huge venue. Mika seemed happy and relaxed during and after the show when he took some time to talk to us.

Only his poor musicians had some trouble on their way there and were apparently tired which Mika of course couldn‘t resist to make fun of. But it didn‘t stop them from giving it their all and playing an awesome show as always.

There were some small but sweet surprises like him playing no place in heaven, singing in the middle of the crowd with people sitting around him, Melachi on stage and that new suit for love today (at least it was new to me) that is quickly becoming one of my favourite looks.

And I‘ve said it before after Perugia but meeting other fans, connecting with people and making MFC friends is what makes these gigs truly special as well! :hug:

24 Luglio 2023

 
Mika incanta al ‘No Borders’ e ammette: “Il mio concerto più bello”
Il cantante libanese si è esibito ieri nell'ultimo concerto del suo tour sui Laghi di Fusine

 

Si è chiuso ieri al No Borders Music Festival sui Laghi di Fusine il World Tour Summer Festival 2023 di Mika. Ultimo di sei appuntamenti di una tournée in cui il cantante libanese auspicava ai suoi fan di poter sempre fiorire (sul palco ad inizio e fine performance ha portato due fiori di dimensioni giganti), ha visto la partecipazione di oltre quattromila ammiratori arrivati da Friuli, Veneto, Austria, Slovenia, Francia, Olanda, Stati Uniti e Venezuela. Compiaciuto per l’interesse suscitato verso tante culture diverse, ha ammesso che la tappa friulana è stata la più bella della sua estate. Difficile, effettivamente, credere il contrario, visto lo scenario spettacolare dei Laghi di Fusine. 

 

Il cantante ne è rimasto affascinato e, dopo una prima immersione tra il pubblico a mo’ di prova, ha voluto inoltrarsi tra i suoi fan, fatti sedere nel prato, per cantare in mezzo a loro tre brani della scaletta: ‘No place in heaven’, ‘good guys’ e ‘Underwater’. Con la sua carica di energia pura, ha trascinato una platea, inizialmente abbagliata dalla location, in due ore di musica, ballo e condivisione totale. E’ finita con Mika di nuovo sul palco, sempre a dirigere un coro assolutamente unanime nel tributo ad un artista eccezionale anche in questo ultimo concerto acustico.

Mika Lights Up No Borders Festival Stage

 

Hundreds of people braved the uphill hike this Sunday afternoon to come see the world-famous pop star play on the arguably one of the most beautiful Italian stages this summer, in the heart of Laghi di Fusine.

 

To kick off the show, Mika and his band opened with “Lollipop,” a song that had the crowd singing along.

The former X-Factor judge changed his outfits to match the vibe of each song, transitioning from green to white to pink, while the audience erupted in applause.

 

Cheered on by the spectators who arrived to see him sing from around the world, Mika descended from the stage and on to the elated crowd to sing his all-time-favorite “Good Guys” and the breathtaking “Underwater”.

 

No Borders Music Festival, has entered its 28th edition, and will end next Sunday, 30 July with Benjamin Clementine.

No Borders Music Festival: in migliaia ai laghi di Fusine per Skin e Mika

 

TARVISIO

 

Riuscire ad entrare nel mondo di Mika è semplice, basta seguire gli indizi che canzone dopo canzone  elargisce, seguendo il flusso naturale degli eventi della sua vita. La sua musica, esattamente come lui, non è mai forzata ed è limpida, e il concerto di oggi ai Laghi di Fusine al No Borders Music Festival 2023 è stato proprio così. Inizia il concerto parlando da subito con il pubblico, preparandolo all’esibizione che prende vita ed energia con Lollipop. Il dialogo, quando si parla di Mika, si sa già che non può mancare, perché è un artista che del dialogo ha fatto la sua carta vincente. È così che,  comunicando con il pubblico di 4.000 persone che sono arrivate oggi a piedi o in bicicletta ai Laghi di Fusine, ha permesso a tutti di guardare dentro la scatola magica da cui trae ispirazione: la sua vita. 

Mika salta, parla, va spesso in mezzo al pubblico, non si risparmia per la sua ultima tappa della tournée, condividendo con tutti tutta la sua forza d’animo: Relax, Happy Ending, Golden, Good Guys sono solo alcuni dei brani che Mika ha cantato e fatto cantare a tutti.
Mika ci ha regalato uno spettacolo nello spettacolo, durante il brano Underwater è sceso tra il pubblico facendo cantare a tutti come un unico coro la sua musica, i fan in delirio hanno seguito passo passo ogni movimento del cantautore.
“Guardate i Laghi di Fusine! Guardate dove siete! Non guardate il palco, ma ballate tra di voi e guardate la meraviglia che c’è qui!” La bellezza della giornata di oggi si può sintetizzare con questa frase di Mika. Una chiusura di concerto meravigliosa con Love Today seguito da un’ altra conversazione con il suo pubblico. Tutti prima o poi della vita devono assistere a un live di Mika perché solo così si può capire a tutto tondo l’artista vivace, vero e unico che c’è in lui, ma il concerto di oggi in chiave acustica, immerso nella natura del Tarvisiano, ci ha restituito un’immagine raffinata rara che difficilmente si potrà replicare senza uno scenario naturale come questo.

Being able to enter Mika's world is simple, just follow the clues that song after song bestows, following the natural flow of the events of his life. His music, just like him, is never forced and is clear, and today's concert at the Fusine Lakes at the No Borders Music Festival 2023 was just like that. He starts the concert talking to the audience right away, preparing them for the performance that comes to life and energy with Lollipop. Dialogue, when we talk about Mika, we already know that it cannot be missing, because he is an artist who has made dialogue his trump card. This is how, communicating with the public of 4,000 people who arrived today on foot or by bicycle at the Fusine Lakes, you allowed everyone to look inside the magic box from which you draw inspiration: your life.

Mika jumps, talks, often goes in the audience, he doesn't spare himself for his last stage of the tour, sharing all his strength with everyone: Relax, Happy Ending, Golden, Good Guys are just some of the songs that Mika sang and made everyone sing.
Mika gave us a show within the show, during the song Underwater he descended into the audience making everyone sing his music as a single choir, the delirious fans followed every movement of the singer-songwriter step by step.
“Look at the Fusine Lakes! Look where you are! Don't look at the stage, but dance among yourselves and see the wonder that is here!" The beauty of today's day can be summarized with this sentence from Mika. A wonderful closing concert with Love Today followed by another conversation with the audience about him. Sooner or later in life everyone has to attend a Mika live because only in this way can we fully understand the lively, true and unique artist in him, but today's concert in an acoustic key, immersed in the nature of the Tarvisio area, has given us back a rare refined image that can hardly be replicated without a natural scenario like this.

L’entusiasmo puro di questi due ragazzi a dir poco unici, sia in cucina che fuori, ci ha conquistati! Alberto Toè - chef di Horto Restaurant Milano - e Salvatore Sodano - chef di Ristorante Local, Venezia
Quella di ieri sera ad #einprositsummer2023 è stata una cena a quattro mani che difficilmente dimenticheremo

Karime Lopez e Takahiko Kondo chef di Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura li avevamo già incontrati, ma averli ad #einprositsummer2023, a casa tra le nostre montagne, è una storia che a parole non si può raccontare.

Parlano per noi i piatti che definire pazzeschi è poco, che ci hanno fatto girare il mondo e che ancora ci stiamo sognando.

La loro bellezza e la loro semplicità, lasciano il passo alla pacatezza e alla concentrazione di due ragazzi che sono riusciti a portare il Messico, la Cina, la Grecia nel bel mezzo delle Alpi Giulie
