Rome — Riccardo Cocciante's concert at the Pompeii Ruins Amphitheater was sold out. The July 4th date quickly sold out, confirming the audience's affection for the singer-songwriter, who in 2026 celebrates his eightieth birthday and a discography that boasts over forty albums in three languages. The "Io… Riccardo Cocciante nel 2026" summer tour will kick off on June 20th at the Parco San Valentino in Pordenone and conclude on September 27th at the Verona Arena.
The performance schedule will take place in highly evocative locations. After the debut in Friuli, the artist will be in Piazza San Marco in Venice (June 25), at the Greek Theatre in Syracuse (June 30), and at the Amphitheatre of the Pompeii Excavations (July 4), the latter already sold out. This will be followed by the Circus Maximus in Rome (July 6), Villa Erba in Cernobbio (July 14), the Carrarese Castle in Este (July 20), and Piazza Martiri in Teramo (July 26).
In August, the tour will be held at the Tharros Amphitheatre in Cabras (August 1, sold out), in Piazza Europa in La Spezia (August 5), at the Teatro al Castello in Roccella Jonica (August 11), at the Egnazia Archaeological Park in Fasano (August 23), and at Music City in Riccione (August 29). In September, the tour will continue at the Anfiteatro dell'Anima in Cervere (September 3), at the Castello Visconteo-Sforzesco in Vigevano (September 9), at the Sferisterio in Macerata (September 12), at the Unipol Forum in Milan (September 19), and concluding at the Verona Arena (September 27).
2026 marks a particularly intense year for the Maestro. Twenty years after his last recording, his new album of previously unreleased material, "Ho vent'anni con te," has been released, while the documentary film "Il mio nome è Riccardo Cocciante" is available on RaiPlay. Furthermore, since February 26th, his modern opera "Notre Dame de Paris" has returned to theaters across Italy.

I'm overjoyed by the concert, but at the same time I noticed a bit of disorganization: the dates seemed random, the communication wasn't clear, and the tickets sold out quickly without explanation. Cocciante's music remains beautiful, but the event seemed a bit sketchy, and the schedule was confusing and poorly coordinated.
