Vasco Rossi Ferrara Concerts: Possible Setlist

Italian rock icon Vasco Rossi has officially launched his new tour, beginning with a soundcheck and an opening performance at the Stadio Romeo Neri in Rimini on Saturday, May 30. The rocker is now preparing for a double engagement in Ferrara, marking the next phase of his live circuit.

Following the initial show, Rossi took to Instagram to express his gratitude toward the technical crews and staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to assemble the stage. He emphasized a collective spirit of enjoyment for both the team and the audience.

Music as Active Resistance

For Rossi, the tour is more than a series of performances; We see a statement of intent. He revealed that the setlist opens with “Vado al massimo,” describing the track as the “incipit of a book” designed to provoke a hypocritical and bigoted world.

The artist framed his concerts as a form of “active resistance” against hate, violence, and fear. Drawing on the philosophy of Spinoza, Rossi noted that while power often relies on sadness, his mission is to bring joy to the crowds.

“My songs speak for themselves and speak clearly. I don’t need and don’t like to make speeches from the stage. In my songs, I have said everything,” Rossi stated.

Did You Know? Vasco Rossi views his opening song, “Vado al massimo,” as a tool for provocation against “stiff faces” and hypocrisy, setting a defiant tone for the entire performance.

Ferrara Dates and Tour Schedule

The rocker will perform at the Parco Urbano G. Bassani on Friday, June 5, and Saturday, June 6. According to Ticketone, these highly anticipated shows are scheduled to begin at 20:45.

While Rossi has not released official setlists for the Ferrara dates, the Rimini performance provides a blueprint of what fans may expect. The opening show featured a 26-song journey, spanning hits from 1979 to 2019.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that Rossi’s decision to eschew stage speeches in favor of a curated setlist shifts the narrative power entirely to the music. By treating the setlist as a manifesto, he ensures the emotional and political weight of the show remains consistent across different cities.

Upcoming Tour Calendar

Following the Ferrara residency, the tour will continue with eight additional dates across Italy:

Vasco Live 2026, dalle transenne fuori allo stadio Romeo Neri di Rimini 30 maggio 2026.

Olbia: June 12 and 13 at the Arena
Bari: June 18 and 19 at Stadio San Nicola
Ancona: June 23 and 24 at Stadio Del Conero
Udine: June 28 and 29 at Bluenergy Stadium

Analyzing the Setlist

The Rimini show began with “Vado al massimo” and transitioned through classics such as “Fegato, fegato spappolato” and “Tango… (della gelosia).” The performance also included more recent works like “Se ti potessi dire” (2019) and “Un mondo migliore” (2016).

The grand finale featured a sequence of powerhouse tracks, including a piano-and-voice version of “Vita Spericolata” and a full band performance of “Canzone,” eventually closing with “Albachiara.”

Given the structure of the opening date, it is likely that the Ferrara shows could follow a similar emotional arc, though Rossi’s previous comments suggest the tour may continue to surprise the audience.
