Slovenia / Italy: No Borders Music Festival: A Concert You Had to Ride To
Some concerts begin with a car ride, a train journey, or a walk through a crowded city. This one began with a bicycle.
Today, the No Borders Music Festival transformed the spectacular Fusine Lakes (Belopeška jezera) into one of the most unusual concert venues imaginable. For Jovanotti's special Bike Concert, the only way to reach the stage was on two wheels.
Around 5000 cyclists made their way to the concert. Jovanotti embraced the idea completely, cycling around 770 kilometres from Cortona, Tuscany, to the Fusine Lakes, retracing a personal journey connected to his recovery after his serious cycling accident in 2023.
When he finally arrived at the lakes, he joined thousands of other cyclists for an afternoon of music surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Alps.
And then came the concert - one that we all absolutely loved.

 |
| The 770 km ride from Cortona to Fusine was more than just a journey to a concert for Jovanotti. Each kilometre symbolized a day since Jovanotti's serious cycling accident in July 2023, turning the ride into a celebration of recovery, resilience, and the joy of being back on two wheels. |
 |
| The unique Bike Concert at Laghi di Fusine was limited to 5000 cyclists and sold out within minutes. |
 |
| The concert was part of the 30th edition of the No Borders Music Festival. |
 |
| A well deserved beer. |
 |
| The event was promoted as the first "concertbike" or "bike concert" of its kind and we all loved it. |
