An increasingly central figure on the new Italian singer-songwriter scene, Emma Nolde has announced a summer tour that will take her to the stages of the country's leading festivals, with a major international date at the Sziget Festival in Budapest. The calendar kicks off in late May and runs through the whole summer, spanning both established fixtures and more varied settings.
The tour will open on May 30 at the Spring Attitude Festival in Rome, before continuing on June 17 at Parco della Musica in Milan, where she'll share the bill with The Flaming Lips. Next up are Ravenna Festival (Lugo, June 28), Mengo Music Festival (July 14), IncantoMarche (July 18), Balena Festival (July 22), Ferrara Sotto le Stelle (July 25) and Onde Mediterranee (July 31). August 12 will see her in Budapest for Sziget, before wrapping up on August 17 at Jova Summer Party 2026 in Barletta.
At the heart of the project remains a direct relationship with the audience: the new run of shows is built as a refreshed live experience, with a reworked setlist that blends previews of unreleased material with a selection of the most representative songs from her catalogue. Front and centre are her three albums "Toccaterra" (a finalist for Best New Artist at the 2021 Targa Tenco), "Dormi" and "NUOVOSPAZIOTEMPO" (a finalist for Best Album Overall in 2025), alongside her most recent singles "Indipendente" and "Quello che deve essere sarà".
Onstage, Emma Nolde will handle vocals, guitar, synth and piano, backed by a steady lineup: Marco Martinelli on drums, Andrea Beninati on cello and percussion, Francesco Panconesi on sax and keyboards, and Federica Sutera on bass.
