Subsonica: info and possible setlist tracks for the four “Cieli su Torino 96-26” concerts. The album “Terre Rare” and the summer tour dates

Subsonica return with “Rare Earths”, their eleventh studio album, alongside a special stage celebration titled “Cieli su Torino 96-26”, a project that brings the band back to their hometown for four special shows at OGR Torino, all sold out, on March 31 and April 1, 3 and 4.

The Turin shows

Each night will feature a different setlist, rotating through career-spanning tracks and offering a dynamic reinterpretation of thirty years of material. Around the concerts, the city will host a wider program (March 31-April 12) of exhibitions, DJ sets and sound events dedicated to the band's history.

Every ticket includes access to a retrospective exhibition set up in the Duomo of OGR: photographs, instruments, costumes and archival material retracing the band's history. After each show, Subsonica members take turns behind the decks for dedicated DJ sets. The April 4 date will feature a special opening set with Alessio Bertallot and DJ Aladyn.

Here are some of the tracks that could feature in the setlists, drawn from the one played in Milan (March 11, 2025), to which songs from the new album “Rare Earths” will be added, such as the single “Radio Mogadiscio”.

The album “Rare Earths”

“Rare Earths”, released via Sony Music Italy, is a work that favors the album format over single-driven logic. Its twelve tracks build a cohesive journey, not chasing instant hits but relying on layered songwriting and a more organic sound compared to the past.

The album draws on inspirations gathered along the Mediterranean as well, moving between electronics and heterogeneous sound material, with particular attention paid to texture and atmosphere. Rather than a simple new release, it takes shape as an archive: a coherent set of tracks offering an idea of a journey through the present, amid global tensions and residues of humanity.

The single “Straniero,” featuring Palestinian-born singer TÄRA, introduces an explicit reflection on otherness and contemporary conflict, set within a sonic context that stays true to the group's identity while remaining open to cross-contamination.

The visual side of the project follows the same logic: imagery built as a collection of artifacts and notes, inspired by the idea of an archive, where real materials and narrative overlap.

“Il tempo in me,” also released in an extended version on February 6, is described by the Turin band as one of the most elaborate tracks in their recent output. Its construction brings together distant elements: on one side the analog character of a Prophet 5 synth, anchored to a syncopated, dance-derived bassline; on the other, a vocal line harking back to a more melancholic singer-songwriter tradition. The writing alternates harmonic tension with more linear resolutions, striking a balance reached only after several rounds of work — an approach already tested previously on “Universo.”
