Max Pezzali's 2026 Italian stadium tour breaks ticket records
Italian pop star Max Pezzali launched the "Max Forever – Gli anni d'oro – Stadi 2026" tour, which has become the top‑selling concert series of the year with more than 660,000 tickets sold and ten of the fifteen scheduled dates already sold out. The first two shows at Torino's Allianz Stadium on 13‑14 June attracted over 80,000 spectators, blending 1990s nostalgia with contemporary TikTok‑driven fandom.
The tour runs from 7 June to 12 July, covering major venues across the country, including Lignano Sabbiadoro, Napoli’s Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, Bologna, Messina, Bari, Padova and a finale at Milan’s San Siro. The setlist revisits classic 883 and Pezzali hits such as “Hanno ucciso l’uomo ragno”, “S’inkazza (Questa casa non è un albergo)”, “Non me la menare” and “Rotta x casa di Dio”, offering a multigenerational experience that unites longtime fans with younger audiences discovering the music online.
Organisers highlighted the tour’s blend of retro stage design—walkmans, Game Boys and vintage phones—with tributes to Italian football, reinforcing the cultural resonance of Pezzali’s catalogue among diverse age groups.
