Huddled together on a snakeskin couch in a New York hotel, their euphoria was infectious. Måneskin just played a pop-up lunchtime show in Times Square, and now they learned their Madison Square Garden show scheduled for later in the week was a sellout. Pleasantly surprised, frontman Damiano David called the news “very special.”
“It’s one of the most important places where you can ever dream to play,” David said. That show Thursday night will kick off the North American leg of their Rush! World Tour that began earlier this year. In an era where rock bands seem endangered and most of the top acts in the genre came from the last millennium, Måneskin has become something of an anomaly.
