KALEO DELIVERS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE AT ROME’S HISTORIC ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK OF THE COLOSSEUM
March 2nd, 2024, GRAMMY-nominated Icelandic rockers KALEO celebrated their 10th anniversary by delivering a stunning live performance in front of 250 of their biggest fans at the Archeological Park of the Colosseum, Rome, and in the shadow of the world-famous amphitheater. Today, they’ve shared brilliant live images and video from the epic evening.
Presented by VERTIGO LIVE, a leading producer of cinematic live experiences, the momentous night was captured on film and will be released as KALEO: Viva Roma in the Shadow of the Colosseum later this summer. The documentary-concert film marks the third chapter of the Vertigo LIve series and was helmed by GRAMMY & EMMY nominated director Giorgio Testi. The film will feature a blend of concert performance and documentary footage, celebrating a decade of KALEO.
The Colosseum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where performances in and around the grounds are INCREDIBLY rare. KALEO now join the ranks of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, The Cure, Elton John, and Paul McCartney as the only artists to have ever performed an electric concert in front of this iconic monument. However, unlike those Hall of Fame artists, KALEO’s performance took place before a mere 250 fans making this the most unique experience the venue has ever seen.
The one night only event marked 10 years of phenomenal achievements from KALEO, who have amassed over 4+ Billion global streams, 60+ international certifications, countless sold-out headlining shows, appearances at such noteworthy festivals as Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo plus a direct support slot opening for Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, the Rolling Stones.
JJ Julius Son of KALEO says, “I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity of creating this once in a lifetime cinematic experience with Giorgio and the VERTIGO LIVE team, I’ve always wanted to perform at the Colosseum, so for me, this is a dream come true – and I can’t wait for our fans to see the film.”
Director Giorgio Testi says, “I’m a huge fan of KALEO and delighted to be able to collaborate with them in bringing JJ’s vision to life. Expect a film of gladiatorial proportions!”
