Vasco Rossi: the songs in the Rimini setlist revealed by rehearsals. May 30th marks opening night

Rimini is once again Vasco Rossi's headquarters ahead of the Tour Live 2026. At the Romeo Neri stadium, the Emilian singer-songwriter is putting the finishing touches on rehearsals for the show, which will debut with the traditional "data zero" (opening night) on May 30th, preceded by a soundcheck reserved for fan club members. The rehearsal sessions have already given rise to details that are getting fans talking. The setlist indeed appears geared towards showcasing his Eighties output, with several songs rarely performed live and a few surprises that could significantly reshape the show's structure compared to recent tours.
Among the most notable developments is the return of "A new song for her," a track from the album "Cosa succede in città" that has been absent from concerts since 1985. If confirmed in the final setlist, it would be one of the most unexpected revivals in years for Vasco's fans.
Equally significant is the appearance in rehearsals of "(Per quello che ho da fare) faccio il militare," performed only sporadically in the past and missing from live shows since 2010. There's also room for "Ciao" — not the track from "C'è chi dice no," but the instrumental from "Ma cosa vuoi che sia una canzone" — a choice that reflects a desire to dig up lesser-visited corners of the catalogue.
Rounding out the block of rarities are "Mi si escludeva," "Alibi" and "Soap bubbles," signs of a setlist that, at least in its first section, seems intent on favouring less predictable choices over the usual stadium staples.

Vasco himself has hinted that the concert's opening will take fans by surprise. "The setlist will amaze you… it opens with a song nobody expects, reworked. It'll hit hard," the singer explained, noting that the first three songs will be particularly high-energy before giving way to a ballad set to mark the evening's first emotional moment.
Alongside the rarities, the big hits that have accompanied the Emilian rocker's concerts for years will of course still be present. Rehearsals have brought out "Ogni volta," "We are alone," "Rewind," "Ti prendo e ti porto via," "Sally" and "Albachiara." A special role will go to "Un mondo migliore," which Vasco himself has singled out as the last song before the encore.
Here are the songs to emerge from rehearsals, which could feature in the final Rimini setlist.

• A new song for her
• Ciao (instrumental)
• Mi si escludeva
• (Per quello che ho da fare) faccio il militare
• Alibi
• Soap bubbles
• Ogni volta
• We are alone
• Rewind
• Un mondo migliore
• Ti prendo e ti porto via
• Sally
• Albachiara

After the Rimini debut, the tour will stop on June 5 and 6 at the Parco Urbano Giorgio Bassani in Ferrara, on June 12 and 13 at the Arena di Olbia, on June 18 and 19 at the San Nicola stadium in Bari, on June 23 and 24 at the Del Conero stadium in Ancona, and on June 28 and 29 at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine.
Looking beyond 2026, Vasco has already confirmed he is working on a major celebratory event for 2027, the year he will mark fifty years of his career with a show aiming to draw over half a million spectators.
