Event details

On Thursday 13 August 2026 the Teatro al Castello in Roccella Ionica hosts the live return of Alessandro Mannarino, a Calabrian stop on the Roccella Summer Festival. After the success of his first international tour, which took him across Europe, the Roman singer-songwriter returns to the stage with his intense, engaging music, blending classic songs and new tracks. It is a chance to experience live the energy and poetry of one of the most beloved artists on the Italian music scene, in an evocative setting overlooking the Ionian Sea.

Alessandro Mannarino, a songwriter between poetry and rhythm

Alessandro Mannarino is one of the most recognisable voices in Italian singer-songwriter music. His repertoire pairs image-rich lyrics with sounds ranging from folk to Mediterranean and South American influences, turning his concerts into shared, almost ritual experiences. Songs that have entered the audience's collective memory alternate with his more recent work in a setlist built for the open-air stage. In Roccella Ionica he brings the live dimension that has won over audiences across Italy and abroad, in an evening centred on words and music.

The Teatro al Castello and the Roccella Summer Festival

The concert takes place at the Teatro al Castello, the open-air arena at the foot of the fortress overlooking Roccella Ionica, on the Ionian coast of the Reggio Calabria province. It is the historic stage of the Roccella Summer Festival, a summer series that for years has brought leading Italian and international artists to Calabria: the 2026 edition places Mannarino alongside acts such as Modà and Negramaro. The panoramic setting, between the old town and the sea, is one of the defining features of the shows on the programme.

Tickets and practical information

Admission to the concert is paid, with tickets starting from 40 euro available through the TicketOne network and authorised outlets.
