Vasco Rossi will celebrate 50 years of his career with an extended residency at Rome's Stadio Olimpico in June 2027. Ten shows are planned over the course of three weeks: June 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 20, 24 and 25, for an event aiming to draw over half a million spectators to the capital.
The announcement comes as the rocker from Zocca is in the midst of his 2026 summer tour, greeted by record attendance from the very first dates in Rimini, Ferrara and Olbia. After Bari, Ancona and Udine, attention is already turning to next year's major event, which will mark the culmination of the celebrations for the singer-songwriter's fifty years of artistic activity.
The choice of a residency, rather than a single mega-event, reflects Vasco's precise vision: "to turn this anniversary into an event that can be enjoyed and shared by everyone. Not a single event cramming hundreds of thousands of people into one day, but a big, spread-out celebration, designed to let everyone experience the concert with greater ease, safety and quality."
The initiative will be the closing chapter of the so-called "Vasco's Jubilee", the series of events Rome will dedicate to the artist throughout 2027. Ten nights at the Olimpico retracing a story spanning five decades of Italian music, from its roots in the Seventies to the huge hits that still fill stadiums today.
As for tickets, the pre-sale reserved for Blasco Fan Club members will open at 12pm on Monday, July 6 at vascolive.vivaticket.it. Mastercard holders will be able to access the dedicated pre-sale from 12pm on July 8, while general sale will kick off at 12pm on July 10 via Vivaticket, TicketOne and Ticketmaster.
Meanwhile Vasco continues his 2026 tour, which after the dates in Rimini, Ferrara and Olbia will stop at Bari's Stadio San Nicola on June 18 and 19, at Ancona's Stadio Del Conero on June 23 and 24, before wrapping up in Udine. The tour is also standing out for a setlist packed with surprises: "Bolle di sapone" and "Marea" have made their live debut, while "Una nuova canzone per lei" has returned to the repertoire after more than forty years' absence.
