Overview

  • Mengoni closed his first stadium concerts in Naples on June 26 before 45,500 fans, marking the completion of his tour’s initial outdoor leg.
  • The singer’s production follows a Greek tragedy arc with debris and crystal visuals and a 34-song setlist reimagined in a rock-tinged style.
  • His new mullet haircut and corset costumes divided audiences, leading him to publicly assert personal freedom and artistic authenticity.
  • Performances wove in social commentary—featuring a Palestinian flag display and reflections on wartime violence—alongside an emotional tribute to his late mother during “Luce.”
  • More than 500,000 tickets have been sold for twelve stadium dates, and Mengoni has confirmed additional indoor shows later this year and a European tour in late 2025.
