ABOUT VERTICAL STAGE

Vertical Stage started in Italy in 2010 and has become popular across Europe for bringing live music to unusual public spaces, using the balconies of historic buildings or city corners to create special and distinctive live events. Previous locations have included Turin, Milan, Florence and a Brussels show on the European Parliament Balcony.

For the second year running, Vertical Stage events are being supported by Alfa Romeo throughout the Europe tour. After London, the tour will be visiting Cagliari, Bologna, Paris and Rome.

Alfa Romeo is partnering with Vertical Stage to support the launch of Alfa MiTo TwinAir. The MiTo TwinAir is powered by the award winning two-cylinder engine and delivers sporty performance and efficiency with just 98g/km CO2emissions exempting the Alfa MiTo TwinAir from the London Congestion Charge.
