Over one hundred concerts across the United States and Mexico, including top-tier stages and sharing the stage with one of the most iconic bands in the history of global rock. Awake For Days' international experience isn't limited to major festivals, but is now becoming an educational resource for Sardinian students thanks to the School Tour project. Between 2019 and 2023, the Nuoro-based band graced the stages of numerous American cities, building a stable presence on the international rock scene, culminating in their participation in the Hell & Heaven Fest in Mexico City, one of the continent's most important festivals. There, the group performed on the same stage as bands like Guns N' Roses, sharing the stage with names like Muse and Slipknot, in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
A journey built entirely independently, without the support of major labels, which is now becoming an experience to be shared in schools: the School Tour kicks off Thursday in Nuoro, with the first meeting at the Sebastiano Satta High School of Human Sciences and Music, and will then continue in other Sardinian cities, including Olbia, Tempio, Sassari, and Macomer. Through face-to-face meetings with students, Awake For Days will explain how an international music project is built, showcasing the work behind concerts, tours, and record production, and transforming the experience of the American and Mexican stages into a concrete opportunity for orientation and training. During the meetings, the band will explain the process behind an international music project: from tour organization to financial management, from relationships with promoters to long-term planning. A concrete way to demonstrate that even from Sardinia, it is possible to forge, with method and determination, a career path in the creative sector.
School Tour is a meeting designed for high school students and "was created with the aim of offering concrete examples of how passion, commitment, and entrepreneurial vision can translate into job opportunities in the music and cultural sectors," said Luca Fadda, frontman of Awake For Days: "We want to show how we managed to take our music abroad completely independently, without record labels, focusing on crowdfunding and direct investments." The program will offer students practical tools on management, booking, and royalty management, skills that can also be applied in other professional fields. "We don't go to schools to say 'we've become famous,' but to explain how to build a solid project," Fadda emphasizes.
