As tens of thousands of fans prepare to descend on Gorizia for the opening date of Cesare Cremonini’s new tour on May 31, regional and local authorities have unveiled an extensive transportation and logistics plan aimed at easing access to the former Duca d’Aosta airport concert site.
Speaking in Gorizia on Tuesday, Cristina Amirante said the initiative was the result of coordination among the Prefecture, the municipality, Apt Gorizia, Tpl Fvg, Trenitalia and event organizers.
Officials said the strategy was designed to provide safe and efficient transportation options for concertgoers arriving from across the region and beyond.
The mobility plan includes overnight train services following the concert, as well as shuttle buses connecting temporary parking areas and the city’s railway station to the venue. Shuttle services will operate from 4 p.m. until 3 a.m. along two routes: one linking the Casa Rossa and Via Morassi parking areas to the concert grounds, and another connecting Gorizia Centrale station to the site.
According to organizers, buses will initially depart every five minutes, with frequencies increasing to as often as every two minutes during peak arrival times between 6 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. Up to 25 buses, supported by an equal number of drivers and customer-service staff, are expected to handle more than 200 trips throughout the evening, with capacity for roughly 9,200 passengers.
Round-trip shuttle tickets will cost €5 if purchased in advance, with a €1 surcharge for onboard purchases.
In addition to regular rail services, four special late-night trains will depart from Gorizia Centrale between 1:30 a.m. and 2:15 a.m., serving destinations including Portogruaro, Trieste and Venice.
Authorities also presented a parking plan that will provide nearly 10,000 spaces, along with temporary traffic modifications and designated pedestrian access routes to the venue.
The concert forms part of the “GoToPordenone&Friends” cultural program linking Nova Gorica-Gorizia European Capital of Culture 2025 with Pordenone, Italy’s Capital of Culture for 2027. Local officials described the event as a key test for Gorizia’s ability to host future large-scale gatherings.
