The concert

On 17 August 2026 the Arena dei Cedri in Santa Maria del Cedro, in the province of Cosenza, hosts one of the most eagerly awaited dates of the Tirreno Festival: Negramaro return to Calabria with "Una storia ancora semplice", the tour celebrating twenty years of music and closing an important chapter in their career before a long break. After success in indoor arenas and a year full of achievements, the band led by Giuliano Sangiorgi has chosen summer festivals for a new open-air live journey, ten years after the last one. On stage, a special set list revisits the songs that have marked their history.

Una storia ancora semplice

The tour "Una storia ancora semplice" is a journey between memory and the present, spanning two decades of hits: from Mentre tutto scorre to Meraviglioso, from Solo 3 minuti to Casa 69, right up to the most recent songs. Created to celebrate the twenty years of the band from Salento, the project brings Negramaro back outdoors, across arenas and summer stages, after a long season in indoor venues. A symbolic moment that the group experiences as a collective embrace with their audience before an announced artistic break.

The Arena dei Cedri and the Riviera dei Cedri

The Arena dei Cedri in Santa Maria del Cedro is one of the hubs of the summer programme on the upper Tyrrhenian coast of Cosenza, along the so-called Riviera dei Cedri, the stretch of coast that owes its name to the cultivation of the citron, the citrus fruit that symbolises the area. The Negramaro concert is part of a line-up that in summer 2026 brings some of the great names of Italian music to the coast. Those reaching Santa Maria del Cedro for the show can pair the evening with the discovery of a shoreline known for its beaches and its citrus-growing tradition.
