Tullio De Piscopo will turn 80 on February 24, 2026, and he's chosen to celebrate as he always has: live, on stage, with his audience. Thus was born "80 Tullio – The Last Tour… Nun 'o saccio!", a musical journey spanning decades of Italian and international history, combining rhythm, memory, and the sonic freedom that has made De Piscopo an absolute benchmark.
The theater tour, produced by CE Agency and JM Production Booking Agency, will kick off this spring and visit some of Italy's major cities, from Naples to Rome, Milan to Turin, passing through the South, a region that has profoundly shaped his artistic identity. This live return doesn't feel like a farewell, but rather a thoughtful, intense, and emotional celebration.
The setlist will feature songs that have spanned generations, from "Andamento lento" to "E allora e allora," from "Primavera (Stop Bajon)" to "Libertango," along with forays into jazz, pop, and the collaborations with composers that have made his career unique. For De Piscopo, concerts remain a vital necessity, a lifeblood that has driven him to remain in direct contact with audiences, whether in clubs or theaters, over the past twenty years.
Alongside the music, the tour will also be a personal narrative. A journey of memories and tributes to the artists who have shaped his life, from Pino Daniele, bound to him by an artistic and human brotherhood that changed the sound of Naples, to James Senese, a companion in musical adventures, and finally to Astor Piazzolla, a maestro capable of redefining the very rhythm of the world. A common thread running through a career built on the encounter and dialogue of diverse languages.
Over the years, De Piscopo has shared the stage and studio with some of the most important figures in Italian and international music, leaving a legacy that transcends genre boundaries. "80 Tullio – The Last Tour… Nun 'o saccio!" thus becomes much more than a concert: it's a declaration of love for live music, a fond, yet unresigned, farewell to those who have followed him throughout his life.
Making this period even more special will also be the release of "80 Tullio," a commemorative vinyl box set that traces his career, featuring a special, autographed gold edition. An object designed for those who lived through those years and those who discovered them later, confirming a legacy that continues to speak to the present.
Meanwhile, 2025 ended with a symbolic and institutional recognition: the award as Ambassador of the "100 Italian Excellences in the World," presented at Palazzo Madama. This seal certifies a career built on talent, passion, and identity, brought to stages around the world without ever losing authenticity. Tickets for the tour are already available on all major pre-sale channels. Radio LatteMiele is the official partner of the event.
