Joss Stone in concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica, December 5, 2026

Joss Stone brings Merry Christmas, Love. With Live Symphony Orchestra to Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone on Saturday, December 5, 2026, starting at 20:00 in Sala Santa Cecilia, at Viale Pietro de Coubertin 30. The Auditorium can be reached with tram 2 (Flaminia/Reni or Apollodoro stops) from the Flaminio station on Metro A, or with bus 910 from Termini and with lines 53, 982 and 168. Tickets have been on sale since September 18 on the presale circuit authorized by the organizers and listed on the Auditorium's official website, where prices are also published. For every ticket sold, one euro goes to the Joss Stone Foundation. Rome is one of the two Italian dates of the European Christmas series: the night before, December 4, the singer is expected at Teatro Clerici in Brescia.

Joss Stone in Rome: the December 5 evening

Joss Stone's December 5 concert is a Christmas show with a live symphony orchestra, built on the repertoire of her album Merry Christmas, Love. The Auditorium's official listing places it in the Pop/Rock program and puts it in the complex's largest hall, the one with over 2,700 seats that normally hosts the Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

A European series with the orchestra

Merry Christmas, Love is the title of a series of European dates in which the English singer performs with an orchestra. Italy hosts two of them, Brescia and Rome, a night apart. The formula is clear from the title: a soul voice in front of a symphonic ensemble, with the holiday repertoire. It's not a rock concert with a few strings on the side, it's a Christmas concert designed for a concert hall.

Why Sala Santa Cecilia

A voice like Joss Stone's, warm and powerful, finds the best conditions in a hall designed for the symphony orchestra. Sala Santa Cecilia was built by Renzo Piano for symphonic music and has a reverberation time of 2.2 seconds, rare in Italy: it's the space where strings and winds breathe. For a Christmas repertoire arranged for orchestra, it's the most consistent choice among Rome's halls.

One euro for the foundation

The press release announcing the Italian dates specifies that for every ticket sold one euro will go to the Joss Stone Foundation. It's a detail that says something about the singer: charity has accompanied her whole career, from her first Christmas as a professional onward.

Merry Christmas, Love: Joss Stone's Christmas album

Merry Christmas, Love is Joss Stone's first Christmas album, released on September 30, 2022. It collects versions of holiday classics, including Jingle Bells and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, reinterpreted with the voice and soul flavor that made her famous.

A record that came after 20 years of career

The record came out in the same year as Never Forget My Love, the album of new songs released in February 2022. Between the two works the singer already had behind her 20 years of career that began when she was a teenager: Christmas comes after soul, reggae and supergroups, not before. It's the move of a mature performer returning to the great American popular repertoire with the freedom of someone who no longer has anything to prove.

The holiday classics in a soul key

Jingle Bells and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas are two songs almost every American performer has tackled at least once. Their meaning, on a Joss Stone record, is the tradition of soul Christmas, the one in which the Black voices of Motown and Stax turned holiday songs into showpieces. The English singer built her career on that tradition: Christmas is its natural extension.

What to expect from the setlist

The setlist for the Rome evening hasn't been published. It's reasonable to expect the heart of the concert to be the Christmas album's repertoire, but if you're also hoping for the songs that made her famous, from Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now to the tracks of The Soul Sessions, you'll have to wait for the night. My advice is to listen to the record first: if you know it, you'll experience the concert with a different kind of attention.

Who Joss Stone is: biography

Joss Stone, born Joscelyn Eve Stoker, was born in Dover on April 11, 1987: a British singer-songwriter and actress, she has sold around 15 million records, released 11 albums and won two Brit Awards and one Grammy Award. She's considered one of the most recognizable soul voices of her generation.

Dover, Devon and school

The third of four children, she grew up in Ashill, a small village near Cullompton, in Devon. Her father was a businessman in exports. Her mother worked as an accountant in the same company. Her first public appearance was at Uffculme Comprehensive School, the school she attended, with a cover of Jackie Wilson's Reet Petite. At 16 she debuted on the record scene, despite doubts from those who thought she was too young for the job.

The Soul Sessions, 2003

Her first record, The Soul Sessions, came out in 2003: an album of covers of little-known soul songs, far from what her peers were releasing. It sold around 4 million copies worldwide and caught critics' attention precisely because of the choice of repertoire. A blond teenage girl from Devon singing American Southern soul with that voice was a small international sensation, and the world tour that followed turned her into a professional.

Mind, Body and Soul and the first Grammys

With Mind, Body and Soul, her first album of original songs, her career took the leap: around 4.5 million copies, platinum in the United States with 1 million copies. Three Grammy nominations followed, including one for best new artist. During the ceremony the singer performed a tribute to Janis Joplin with Melissa Etheridge: their version of Cry Baby and Piece of My Heart came out as a single and was her first song in the US Top 40.

Live 8, the Super Bowl, the Grammy

In July 2005 she was on stage at Live 8 in London, on the day that saw James Brown, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Patti LaBelle, Mavis Staples, Donna Summer and Smokey Robinson. In February 2006 she sang with Stevie Wonder, John Legend and India.Arie in the show before Super Bowl XL. At the Grammys that same year, with Legend and Van Hunt, she performed a medley dedicated to Sly Stone: their cover of Family Affair, included on the tribute album Different Strokes by Different Folks, won the 2007 Grammy for best R&B performance by a duo or group.

Introducing Joss Stone and Colour Me Free!

In 2007 Virgin released Introducing Joss Stone, her third album, presented by the singer as the first record that truly represented her. Colour Me Free!, released on October 20, 2009, was at the center of a dispute with EMI, her record company, which she had asked without success to let her release it independently. The lead single, Free Me, alluded precisely to that battle. The album debuted at number 10 in the United States.

LP1 and independence

LP1, from 2011, is her fifth studio album and the first released by an independent label: number nine in the United States. From then on the singer has managed her career herself, with her label Stone'd Records joined from time to time by other partners. The Soul Sessions Vol. 2, in July 2012, revisited the formula of her debut nine years later.

SuperHeavy, with Mick Jagger

In 2011 Joss Stone joined SuperHeavy, a supergroup formed with Mick Jagger, former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart, Indian composer A. R. Rahman and Damian Marley, Bob Marley's son. The group recorded its new songs in three weeks in Los Angeles, coordinated in the studio by Stewart. The first single, Miracle Worker, came out in August of that year. For a 24-year-old singer, sitting at the same table as the Rolling Stones' frontman was a consecration.

Water for Your Soul and reggae

In 2015 came Water for Your Soul, a reggae and R&B album coproduced with Damian Marley, who also sings on the song Wake Up. It confirmed a musical curiosity that didn't stop at classic soul. In 2017 the singer took part in Project Mama Earth with Nitin Sawhney, Jonathan Shorten, Jonathan Joseph and Étienne M'Bappé, an album inspired by African music and the idea of Mother Earth.

The Total World Tour

In 2019, after a duet with James Morrison on My Love Goes On, she completed the Total World Tour, the concert run begun in 2014 whose goal was to reach every country in the world, including those left out of Western tours. Stops included North Korea, Turkmenistan and Iran. It's hard to find an equally stubborn project in pop music.

Recent years

In April 2020 she released the single Lean On Me, followed in December by Walk With Me. In the same period she launched the podcast A Cuppa Happy, devoted to the theme of happiness. In February 2022 Never Forget My Love came out, taken on tour around the world. In September of the same year, Merry Christmas, Love. The Rome concert therefore comes after four seasons in the life of the Christmas album, with a symphonic ensemble the studio version didn't have.

Joss Stone beyond records: film, television, video games

Alongside music, Joss Stone has worked as an actress, with roles in the film Eragon, the series The Tudors and the fifth season of Empire. Her acting path is parallel and intermittent, but it says a lot about her popularity in the United States.

From TV to film

Her debut was in 2005 in an episode of the series American Dreams. In 2006 came Eragon, then five episodes of the series The Tudors and, in 2018, three episodes of the fifth season of Empire, the series set in the music industry. In 2016 she also appeared in the film Tomorrow.

A song for James Bond

For the video game 007 Blood Stone, Joss Stone voiced her own character alongside Daniel Craig and wrote and sang the opening titles song, in the tradition of the Bond films. It's perhaps the least known collaboration on her résumé, and one of the most curious.

Joss Stone and Christmas: a story that begins in 2004

Joss Stone's bond with the Christmas repertoire goes back a long way: in November 2004, at 17, she was part of Band Aid 20, the group that recorded a new version of Do They Know It's Christmas? for Darfur. Next to her were, among others, Chris Martin of Coldplay and Bono of U2.

Christmas for a cause

Do They Know It's Christmas? is the most famous charity song in British music history, and the 2004 version was the singer's first contact with Christmas music. 20 years later, one euro from every ticket for the Italian dates of Merry Christmas, Love goes to her foundation: the continuity is clear.

Other causes

In April 2005 she sang with Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and Blondie at a concert for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. She has also taken part in a campaign for vegetarianism. Her name often appears where music is used to raise funds, and the Rome concert is no exception.

Sala Santa Cecilia, where Joss Stone will sing

Sala Santa Cecilia is the largest of the three halls of Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone: 2,756 seats, designed by Renzo Piano for symphonic music and inaugurated on December 21, 2002. The opening concert was entrusted to the Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia conducted by Myung-whun Chung.

The cherry wood ceiling

The ceiling is made of 26 shells of American cherry wood, each with an average surface of about 180 square meters: the whole hall works as a sounding box. The stage is wide and surrounded by a gallery with seats also behind the performers. For a show with a symphony orchestra and a solo voice, it's a configuration that lets you see the singer well even from the sides.

Where to sit

In this hall the sound intensity seems to drop until the 10th row and then hold steady: you don't need to be right up against the stage to hear well. For a concert like this, where the singer's stage presence counts as much as the voice, the central stalls in the middle rows are a good compromise between view and sound. The gallery behind the stage offers the orchestra's perspective, but you'll see the singer from behind.

Renzo Piano's beetles

From outside the three halls look like three large lead-clad beetles on a brick base, arranged radially around the cavea named after Luciano Berio. Renzo Piano won the 1993 invitation-only competition and worked with acoustician Jürgen Reinhold of the Müller-BBM firm in Munich and with landscape architect Franco Zagari. The Auditorium is included in the Ministry of Culture's Census of Italian architecture from 1945 to today. The venue page is the one for Auditorium Parco della Musica.

A curious fact about Joss Stone in concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica, December 5, 2026

The first time Joss Stone performed in public she didn't sing a 1960s soul song chosen by a producer, but Jackie Wilson's Reet Petite, in the gym of her Devon school. Jackie Wilson was one of the singers most loved by Elvis and Michael Jackson, and Reet Petite is a 1957 song: for an English girl of the 2000s it was an unusual choice, one that says a lot about the background of whoever made it.

The second curiosity is about the name. Joss Stone is a stage name: legally the singer is Joscelyn Eve Stoker. The stage surname, stone, sounds almost like a program for someone who built her career on the hard, warm sound of Southern soul.

The third is about Christmas itself. In 2004, at 17, she was among the voices of Band Aid 20 on Do They Know It's Christmas?: her first contact with a Christmas song was a charity record made with Bono and Chris Martin. 18 years later she would release a Christmas album all her own. If you hear her in Sala Santa Cecilia on December 5, you'll see a circle close that began in a London studio, again during the holidays, again with a purpose beyond music.

Tickets for Joss Stone at the Auditorium

Tickets for Joss Stone's December 5 concert have been on sale since 10:00 on September 18 on the presale circuit authorized by the organizers, reachable from the Auditorium's official website. Prices aren't given on the event's official listing: check them at the time of purchase.

Where to buy them

The safe channel is to start from the official concert page on the Auditorium Parco della Musica website, which links to the authorized reseller. The Auditorium's physical box office, on Viale Pietro de Coubertin, is open every day from 11:00 to 20:00 in the winter season.

Unauthorized resale

For a concert in a 2,756-seat hall with an international artist, the risk of the secondary market is real. The advice is simple: buy only on the circuit indicated by the Auditorium, and be wary of inflated prices on sites that don't appear on the official page.

The time

The Auditorium's official page gives the start at 20:00. Some resellers list 20:30. The time printed on the ticket is what counts, and arriving by 19:30 protects you from any surprise.

Something nobody tells you about Joss Stone in concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica, December 5, 2026

Joss Stone is an artist who chose not to be a star. After her teenage success, with millions of copies sold and appearances at the big American events, she fought with her record company to release her records independently and, since 2011, has done exactly that. The result is a less visible career than her talent would have allowed, but a much freer one: reggae with Damian Marley, a supergroup with Mick Jagger, a tour that aimed to reach every country in the world, including North Korea and Iran.

If you go to the concert expecting the chart diva of 20 years ago, you risk finding yourself in front of a different person: a performer who sings for the joy of singing, who has the voice she had then and an independence won with effort. The Christmas album is consistent with this choice: a personal project, built with the classics she loves, taken on tour in halls chosen for their sound.

The second thing few consider is the venue. Sala Santa Cecilia is the home of the Accademia's symphony orchestra. On December 5 it welcomes a soul singer with her Christmas repertoire and an orchestra behind her. It's a crossing of audiences that rarely meet, and those coming from pop will discover a hall usually frequented by those coming from classical music.

How to get to the Auditorium for Joss Stone

Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone can be reached with tram 2, Flaminia/Reni or Apollodoro stops, and with buses 910, 982, 168 and 53. The metro doesn't come all the way here: the nearest station is Flaminio, on line A.

Metro A and tram 2

Get off at Flaminio, exit onto Piazzale Flaminio and take tram 2 toward Piazza Mancini, along Via Flaminia. At the Flaminia/Reni or Apollodoro stop, continue on foot for a few minutes toward Viale Pietro de Coubertin, through the Olympic Village. It's the simplest option if you're starting from the center.

Bus 910 from Termini

The 910 leaves from Piazza dei Cinquecento, in front of Termini station, and reaches the Auditorium with no changes. If you're staying near the station or arriving by train, it's the most straightforward option.

The other lines

The 53 connects Piazza Mancini and the center. The 982 comes from Viale XVII Olimpiade area and Quattro Venti station. The 168 comes from Tiburtina, but it's a weekday line. December 5 is a Saturday: for the 168 and for evening frequencies, check the ATAC journey planner before leaving.

By car

Viale Pietro de Coubertin is closed to traffic along the Auditorium stretch. The complex has a paid on-site parking lot, with limited spaces. On busy evenings cars end up on the streets of the Olympic Village. Drive only if there's no alternative, and very early.

The way back

A 20:00 concert ends around 22:00 or a little later. Tram 2 takes you back to Piazzale Flaminio. Otherwise, a taxi from the Auditorium plaza. On foot, from Piazzale Flaminio to Piazza del Popolo is a few steps, and on a December evening with the lights on the walk is worth the cold.

My tip for Joss Stone in concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica, December 5, 2026

Arrive early and take a walk around the Auditorium before going into the hall. On an early December evening Renzo Piano's complex, with the three beetles lit up and the cavea in the dark, has an atmosphere worth experiencing. Half an hour early is the minimum. An hour is better, especially if you want to have dinner or an aperitivo at the foyer bar.

My second tip is about listening. Before the evening, listen to Merry Christmas, Love and The Soul Sessions: the first to know what you'll hear, the second to understand where that voice comes from. If you know the original versions of songs like Jingle Bells and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, you'll appreciate the orchestral arrangements more.

The third is a seating tip. If you can choose, avoid the first rows: in a hall built for the symphony orchestra the best sound comes from the central part of the stalls, where voice and orchestra blend. In the front row you see the singer better but hear more of the amplified voice than of the orchestra.

The last is seasonal: bring a scarf. At the exit, in December, the Auditorium plaza is open and the wait for the tram can be colder than expected.

How to plan the Joss Stone evening

For Joss Stone's 20:00 concert the rule is to arrive at the Auditorium at least 40 minutes early. Security checks, ticket pickup and the coat check take time, and in a hall with over 2,700 seats lines form fast.

Before the concert

The foyer, shared by the three halls, has a bar, a café and a large bookstore with records and music books. From the terrace that runs around the buildings, between Sala Santa Cecilia and Sala Sinopoli, you can see the remains of the Roman villa discovered during construction: 10 minutes to look at them are well spent.

During

Your phone stays in your pocket: the hall has sensitive acoustics and the Santa Cecilia audience is used to silence. A show with an orchestra will likely include an intermission, but the structure of the evening hasn't been announced.

After

At the exit, wait a few minutes on the plaza before heading for the tram: a full hall empties quickly but all at once. If your car is in the Olympic Village, don't rush.

Other events

In the same months the Auditorium hosts the Roma Jazz Festival 2026. If you're staying in Rome for the weekend, you can combine the concert with a visit to MAXXI, a few minutes away by tram.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

Everyone knows Joss Stone is a soul singer. Few remember that her only Grammy wasn't won with a song of her own, but with a Sly Stone cover. Family Affair, performed with John Legend and Van Hunt for the tribute album Different Strokes by Different Folks, won the 2007 award for best R&B performance by a duo or group. The most recognized success of a career founded on interpretation came, consistently, from an interpretation.

A second fact known to insiders is that her first entry into the US Top 40 wasn't a solo single. It was Cry Baby and Piece of My Heart, the tribute to Janis Joplin sung with Melissa Etheridge during the Grammy ceremony. A girl from Devon entering the American chart singing Janis Joplin on live TV is an image that explains better than any review the kind of voice she has.

The third is about the Auditorium: Sala Santa Cecilia, which on December 5 hosts a Christmas concert, was inaugurated right before Christmas, on December 21, 2002. Its very first concert fell four days before Christmas.

The neighborhood around the Auditorium

The Auditorium occupies about 55,000 square meters between Villa Glori, the Olympic Village, the Corso di Francia viaduct and Viale Maresciallo Pilsudski. It's a piece of Rome built in the 20th century, where contemporary architecture lives alongside greenery.

The Olympic Village and Flaminio

The Olympic Village is the neighborhood you walk through from the tram. Near the Flaminia/Reni stop is MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Arts, which forms with the Auditorium the city's most important pair of contemporary buildings. Not far away is Teatro Olimpico.

Toward the Tiber

From the Auditorium you go down toward the river and the Ponte della Musica, the pedestrian and bike bridge that connects Flaminio to the Foro Italico. Farther north, past Piazza Mancini, is Milvian Bridge, the ancient bridge that in the evening becomes one of the busiest meeting spots in north Rome.

Toward the center

With tram 2 you go back to Piazzale Flaminio and Piazza del Popolo, where Villa Borghese and the Tridente begin. An afternoon at the Pincio and the tram ride down to the Auditorium are the most restful way to get to the concert.

The right photo to take at Joss Stone in concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica, December 5, 2026

During the concert your phone stays in your pocket, out of respect for the artist and the audience. The right photo is taken before and after, and the Auditorium offers many.

Before: from the top of the cavea, when it's already dark, frame Renzo Piano's three beetles with the lead reflecting the lights. Including the entrance to Sala Santa Cecilia with the audience going in tells the story of the evening better than a selfie. A second shot is worth taking from the terrace over the remains of the Roman villa: ancient and contemporary in the same frame.

Inside the hall, before the start and if the staff allow it, shoot upward: the 26 cherry wood shells of the ceiling have a geometry that comes out beautifully in photos. With the orchestra's music stands already set on stage, the image becomes the record of the evening.

After the concert, the final applause is often the only moment when the audience takes out their phones: if you really must, do it then, without flash. Outside, the volumes of the halls seen from below along Viale Pietro de Coubertin, with the night lights, give an almost abstract image: maybe the most beautiful one.

Some important events that happened here in history

The land the Auditorium stands on has a much longer history than the complex. During construction the remains of a Roman villa built in the 3rd century BC on the site of a small 6th-century BC farm came to light. The discovery forced Renzo Piano to change the design: two of the three beetles were moved west, almost touching the Corso di Francia viaduct. The finds are on display in a small museum under the cavea.

The modern story begins with a demolition. In 1936 the Augusteo, Rome's great concert hall, was torn down, and for over 60 years the capital remained without an auditorium built for symphonic music. There was long debate, among plans never carried out. Only in 1992 did the city council choose the Olympic Village area, and in 1993 Renzo Piano won the invitation-only competition.

Construction was troubled, with the termination of the contract with the first firm and a new tender. On April 21, 2002, Sala Sinopoli opened. On December 21, 2002, the rest of the complex was inaugurated with Sala Santa Cecilia. Since 2003 the Auditorium has been the permanent home of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia season, and since 2006 it has hosted the Rome Film Fest. In 2020 the city council approved naming it after Ennio Morricone.

Accessibility and children at the Joss Stone concert

Sala Santa Cecilia is raised above ground level and the galleries are reached by only two elevators. If you have accessibility needs, contact the Auditorium in advance at info@musicaperroma.it, the address given on the official website.

People with reduced mobility

My advice is to arrive at least an hour early and ask the staff for the elevator route before the line forms: in a 2,756-seat hall the elevators become a bottleneck in the minutes before the start.

With children

A Christmas concert with orchestra, on a Saturday evening, is one of the few pop evenings suited to a teenager too. For young children the 20:00 start and the length can be demanding. For a teenager who studies singing or listens to soul, seeing Joss Stone with a symphony orchestra is a formative experience. The entry rules for minors are those in the box office regulations published by the Auditorium.

Who has passed through Joss Stone in concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica, December 5, 2026

Sala Santa Cecilia has had major guests since day one. The opening concert on December 21, 2002, was conducted by Myung-whun Chung at the head of the Accademia Orchestra. A few months earlier, at the opening of Sala Sinopoli, composer Goffredo Petrassi, by then elderly, wanted to be present for the performance of his 1931 Ouverture da concerto. The smallest hall of the complex now bears his name. Luciano Berio, who led the Accademia in those years, gave his name to the cavea.

In its first months the hall was also criticized: conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch said he was puzzled by the stage and the acoustics, and problems came up during an Ivano Fossati concert. Corrective work followed. Since then the hall has been the home of the Santa Cecilia Orchestra and the conductors who have led it, from Antonio Pappano to Daniel Harding. Among the house soloists is Evgeny Kissin, a guest of the Accademia since 1991.

Joss Stone arrives in this company bringing soul. It's not her first time in Italy: a performance of hers in Milan in 2005 is documented, and the Never Forget My Love tour also passed through Umbria Jazz in 2022. In Rome, in a symphonic hall and with an orchestra behind her, on December 5 she brings the most ambitious version of her Christmas.

Where to eat before or after the concert

Inside the Auditorium there's a bar and a café in the foyer and a bar-restaurant also accessible from the street. It's the most convenient option if you're arriving directly and don't want to risk entering the hall with the lights already down.

In the neighborhood

Between the Olympic Village, Via Flaminia and Piazza Mancini there are neighborhood pizzerias, trattorias and bars frequented more by residents than by tourists. On a Saturday evening near the holidays booking is a must: better a relaxed dinner at 18:30, then the concert.

Ponte Milvio and Flaminio

If you'd rather eat afterward, the widest choice is at Ponte Milvio, a few minutes away, where places stay open late, especially on Saturday. Toward Piazzale Flaminio and Piazza del Popolo the choice is that of the historic center, with historic center prices.

December in Rome: the time of year

December 5 falls on the eve of the Immaculate Conception long weekend, when Rome enters the holiday mood. The lights are on, the markets open, and the city fills with Italian and foreign visitors.

The weather

December in Rome is mild by day and cold in the evening, with often clear days and some rain. A light coat and a scarf are enough. For the evening at the Auditorium, where you walk between the tram and the plaza, an umbrella in your bag is a sensible precaution.

The holidays in the city

If you're coming to Rome in those days, the holiday calendar is in our guide to Christmas in Rome: nativity scenes, lights, concerts, markets. A Christmas concert with orchestra is a fitting start to a weekend devoted to the holidays.

Final advice on Joss Stone

At the Auditorium, the evenings that stay in your memory are the ones where the hall and the music are made for each other. A soul voice with a symphony orchestra in Sala Santa Cecilia, at Christmastime, is one of them. Book early, arrive ahead of time, have a relaxed dinner first and keep your phone in your pocket: Joss Stone will do the rest. If you want to turn the concert into a Roman weekend organized down to the details, with a guide and transfers, the professionals at Tour Leader Pro are the choice I recommend.
