Tortoise, Sunday January 25th live in Perugia for the Degustazioni Musicali series

The Degustazioni Musicali series continues its successful run, with Tortoise set to play the Teatro del Pavone in Perugia on Sunday, January 25th. For the Chicago band, it's the only Italian date of their winter tour.

Widely regarded as pioneers and leading figures of post-rock, Tortoise are touring behind their recent album “Touch“, released on October 24th, which marks their return after nine years away from the studio.

Since the Nineties, Tortoise have redefined the parameters of contemporary instrumental music, fusing post-rock, electronics, jazz, dub and minimalism with a radically collective approach. Albums such as “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” (1996), “TNT” (1998) and “Standards” (2001) have become absolute touchstones, shaping generations of artists.

Recorded between Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago, “Touch” is the result of a new creative phase for the group's five members, Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire and Jeff Parker, who excel at balancing jazz elegance with krautrock tension, cinematic vision with electronic groove.

DEGUSTAZIONI MUSICALI – CULTURE AS TRANSFORMATION

The Degustazioni Musicali series continues to offer music as a tool for inclusion, awareness and social change. The 2025/26 season is weaving together artistic research and political reflection, involving 10 towns across Umbria in a widespread, accessible cultural journey. A project supported by Sviluppumbria and produced in collaboration with T-Trane and Coesione Italy 21-27 Umbria.
