Vasco Rossi: the first hints about the 2026 tour setlist

Rehearsals for Vasco Rossi's 2026 tour are now in full swing at the Chromie in Castellaneta Marina, and with them come the first clues about the setlist. It's not yet the concert opener, but the first track leaked by the rocker from Zocca, following an approach that's become his trademark: brief previews entrusted to social media.

In a clip shared by the Apulian headquarters, Vasco set the footage to a few lines: “Sono i dettagli / quelli che contano / sono i momenti… che segnano”. A direct reference to "Hai mai", a track from 2004's "Buoni o cattivi", which thus joins the list of possible setlist entries.

The clue fits with what was announced in recent months: a setlist also built around songs rarely played live, mixing rarities and revivals. "Hai mai" fits this category perfectly, having only been performed during the tour tied to the album's release, before vanishing from concerts for more than twenty years.

Lending further weight to this theory is a line Vasco himself says in the video: "We did two songs that I hadn't sung in many years". A further sign pointing toward a setlist geared toward digging up tracks that have long been missing in action.

The tour is set to kick off on May 30 in Rimini.

A few days ago, Vasco Rossi told fans: “And here we are! On day two of rehearsals. Yesterday we broke the ice. Today we looked at each other … we recognized each other .. So we've already put together the first two or three songs of this year's extraordinary setlist, which will be… unpredictable, unreachable, unattainable, unequivocal, inescapable, extraordinary and amazing”.

The Emilian artist himself has recently reiterated the approach adopted in recent years: a stable core of songs alongside a rotation that changes from tour to tour. "Every year with a new setlist, with some fixed songs and others that alternate", he explained, hinting at a repertoire in constant evolution.

Here is the full tour schedule:

• May 30 – Rimini – Stadio Romeo Neri
• June 5 and 6 – Ferrara – Parco Urbano G. Bassani
• June 12 and 13 – Olbia – Arena
• June 18 and 19 – Bari – Stadio San Nicola
• June 23 and 24 – Ancona – Stadio Del Conero
• June 28 and 29 – Udine – Bluenergy Stadium

At the same time, Rossi keeps returning to the memory of Modena Park, resurfacing images and figures from that day. In one of his most recent posts he writes: "These are my people. This is Rock. You are the Better World!!". A line that puts the bond with the audience and the collective dimension of the event back at the center.

At the same time, he looks ahead and makes his position clear on the possibility of repeating that experience: "Don't ask me to do it again... For the 50th anniversary since the story began... I want to throw a different kind of party... for far more people... more than 500,000... and one that lasts more than one night".
