NME NEWS: Måneskin Reveal Dates for Massive Summer 2026 Tour, Promise Fans an Unforgettable Experience
Few bands in the past decade have shaken the foundations of modern rock quite like Måneskin. The Italian quartet—Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi, and Ethan Torchio—have not only revived rock ’n’ roll for a new generation but have also reshaped what it means to be global superstars. With their swaggering blend of glam rock, punk energy, and stadium-sized anthems, the band has gone from Eurovision victors in 2021 to headliners on the world’s biggest stages.
Now, after months of teasing and speculation, Måneskin have officially revealed the dates for their Summer 2026 World Tour, and the band is promising nothing less than an “incredible, transformative experience” for their fans.
The Big Reveal
The announcement came in true Måneskin fashion—loud, unapologetic, and dripping with charisma. At a press event streamed live from Rome, the group took to the stage to unveil their schedule, which spans Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.
“We don’t want to just play concerts,” frontman Damiano David declared, dressed in a sharp velvet suit. “We want to create something people will remember for the rest of their lives. This tour will be about freedom, energy, and connection. We want every fan to leave with their hearts racing.”
Bassist Victoria De Angelis, who has long been the group’s punk spirit and fashion rebel, added: “We’ve been working on surprises—new visuals, extended sets, and collaborations that will make every show feel unique. No two nights will be the same.”
The Tour Schedule
The 2026 tour kicks off in Barcelona on June 5th, before sweeping across major European capitals including Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, and London. From there, Måneskin will cross the Atlantic for a string of North American stadium dates, with stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Mexico City.
South America follows in August, with shows planned for São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Santiago. Then, in a move that signals their global dominance, the band will take their spectacle to Asia, playing in Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, and Singapore before wrapping up with a triumphant homecoming in Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on September 28th.
Fans across the globe have been quick to react. Within hours of the announcement, hashtags like #Maneskin2026 and #TheSummerOfManeskin began trending worldwide.
Promise of New Music
What has fueled the anticipation further is Måneskin’s confirmation that the tour will feature new material from their forthcoming album, rumored to be released in early 2026.
Guitarist Thomas Raggi, known for his electrifying riffs, teased: “We’ve been experimenting a lot in the studio. There are songs that sound bigger than anything we’ve done before. This tour will be the first time fans hear them live.”
Drummer Ethan Torchio chimed in: “We wanted to capture the chaos and beauty of the world we’ve seen over the past few years. The new songs are explosive but also emotional. They’ll hit hard.”
For a band that thrives on pushing boundaries, fans can expect the unexpected. Rumors of collaborations with international icons—from hip-hop stars to electronic producers—have only intensified the hype.
The Måneskin Experience
Anyone who has attended a Måneskin show knows it’s more than a gig—it’s an event. The group’s previous tours saw Damiano strutting shirtless across catwalks, Victoria shredding bass in glittering leotards, Thomas diving into epic solos, and Ethan pounding the drums with tribal-like precision.
The 2026 shows, however, are being described as the band’s most ambitious production yet. Stage designers have hinted at a multi-level setup, interactive visuals, and dramatic pyrotechnics. There are also whispers of fan-participation moments, where crowds will become part of the spectacle rather than passive observers.
“Rock ’n’ roll is about chaos and unity,” Damiano said. “We want to break down the barrier between us and the fans. It’s not our show—it’s their show too.”
Fans React
Across social media, the reaction has been electric.
- “This is history in the making. I’m booking tickets no matter the cost,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
- “Måneskin aren’t just a band, they’re a movement. Summer 2026 is going to be ours,” added another.
- A fan in Mexico posted: “Finally! They’re bringing the fire to Latin America again. We’ve been waiting for this.”
Ticket vendors are already preparing for massive demand, with presale signups reaching record numbers within hours of going live.
Critics’ Take
Music critics have long debated Måneskin’s role in the current landscape. While some argue they are reviving rock for the TikTok generation, others point to their undeniable musicianship and ability to dominate charts globally in multiple languages.
NME’s own review of their last tour described them as “a band born for the stadium, marrying old-school rock grandeur with Gen Z defiance.” With this new announcement, critics are suggesting that Måneskin may finally cement their place among the greats—bands like Queen, Guns N’ Roses, and Nirvana—who defined eras through tours that became cultural landmarks.
The Road to 2026
The past few years have been a whirlwind for the Italian superstars. From sold-out arenas to Grammy nominations, from collaborations with Iggy Pop to breaking into the US market, Måneskin have conquered milestones most bands only dream of.
But the band insists the best is yet to come. “We feel like we’re just getting started,” Victoria said with a grin. “There’s so much more we want to do, and this tour is just one step.”
Indeed, for Måneskin, the journey is not just about music but also about influence. Their unapologetic style, gender-fluid fashion, and outspoken support for social causes—from LGBTQ+ rights to freedom of expression—have earned them a loyal following that transcends borders.
A Tour to Remember
The 2026 Summer Tour is not merely a series of concerts—it’s shaping up to be a cultural moment. For fans, it promises long nights of roaring guitars, thundering drums, and the magnetic presence of Damiano and his bandmates. For the band, it’s an opportunity to prove that their meteoric rise was only the beginning.
As the final words of the announcement echoed—“See you in the summer of 2026”—millions of fans marked their calendars. The countdown has begun, and one thing is certain: when Måneskin hit the road next year, the world will be watching.
Final Thoughts
Måneskin’s Summer 2026 Tour is set to be one of the most talked-about musical events of the decade. With new music on the horizon, a bold production plan, and a promise of fan-first experiences, the band is aiming to elevate live rock to new heights.
Whether you’ve been following them since their Eurovision breakout or discovered them through TikTok, this is a tour not to be missed. Måneskin aren’t just riding the wave of rock revival—they’re steering it into uncharted waters.
And if the past is anything to go by, those waters will be loud, chaotic, and unforgettable.
