Shiva heads Wave Summer Music concert in Catania, Italy

Rapper Shiva is set to perform for roughly 7,000 fans at the Villa Bellini in Catania, opening the six‑day Wave Summer Music festival that will run across Catania and Palermo. The festival also includes concerts by rappers Anna and Salmo, with Anna scheduled to play the Velodromo Paolo Borsellino in Palermo on 7 August and a second Catania show on 28 August. Shiva, a leading figure in the new Italian rap scene, has earned multiple platinum and gold records, most recently releasing the album Vangelo in April 2026. Anna’s recent album Million Dollar Babe topped both the overall and physical‑sales charts, making her the first Italian female artist to achieve that feat in 2026.
