Overview
- VascoLive2026 officially began with a 'data zero' concert at Stadio Romeo Neri in Rimini that drew about 25,000 fans on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
- The setlist opened with 'Vado al massimo,' a song not performed live since 1983, and included several long-unplayed tracks and first-time live renditions.
- Rossi told reporters that 'music is a form of active resistance' against sociopaths who start wars and that he prefers his songs to speak rather than delivering political speeches from the stage.
- Promoters say the tour is a large-scale operation that already shows strong commercial momentum with June stadium dates sold out and logistics that include a 36-truck stage, about 600 core staff, and 400–650 local workers per date.
- Organizers highlighted Rossi's wide, multi-generational reach — over three million tickets sold since 2022 and a fan club above 125,000 members — and his plan to mark a 50-year career milestone in 2027 with events projected to draw roughly 500,000 people.
