Luca Carboni

Following his highly anticipated return to live music in arenas, the Bolognese artist Luca Carboni has announced new dates for the summer 2026 leg of his “RIO ARI O LIVE” tour. This tour will see him perform across festivals, amphitheaters, and historic sites of extraordinary beauty throughout Italy.

The singer-songwriter’s summer tour includes an exclusive stop in Friuli Venezia Giulia, scheduled for Friday, July 10, 2026, at the stunning Villa Manin in Codroipo.

Tickets for the event—organized by Zenit srl in collaboration with the Regional Entity for Cultural Heritage of FVG, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (Department of Culture), PromoTurismo FVG, and the City of Codroipo—are on sale now via the Ticketone network. All information can be found at www.azalea.it.

The Meaning of “RIO ARI O”

“RIO ARI O,” the phrase giving the tour its name, represents the very first sound of the artist’s voice heard by listeners—even before the lyrics—in “Ci stiamo sbagliando ragazzi,” the opening track of his debut album, “…intanto Dustin Hoffman non sbaglia un film.” This sound has since become a distinctive symbol of the Bolognese singer-songwriter.

In this new stage of his live journey, Luca Carboni presents a grand narrative of music, images, and words. The show features songs from his long career, alternating between moments of high-energy celebration and acoustic intimacy.
