Zucchero ‘Sugar’ Fornaciari returns to the spotlight of the Italian summer live music scene and comes back to Lucca with a new, extraordinary date on his ‘Overdose D'Amore Gold’ tour.
The event is scheduled for 16 July 2026, in the unique and evocative setting of the historic city walls, as part of the Lucca Summer Festival.
After the great success of recent years, unforgettable summer evenings are tinged with gold, offering timeless emotions and great live music. A particularly eagerly awaited return: Lucca already welcomed Zucchero in 2022 during his World Wild Tour.
Zucchero's unmistakable voice, his repertoire rich in songs that have marked entire generations and his overwhelming stage presence will give life to a show of pure energy, strictly live, designed to enhance the dialogue between music and place.
On stage, his historic and close-knit superband composed of great international musicians:
Polo Jones (musical director, bass), Kat Dyson (guitars, backing vocals), Peter Vettese (Hammond organ, piano and synth), Mario Schilirò (guitars), Adriano Molinari (drums), Nicola Peruch (keyboards), Monica Mz Carter (drums and percussion), James Thompson (wind instruments, backing vocals), Lazaro Amauri Oviedo Dilout (wind instruments), Carlos Minoso (wind instruments) and Oma Jali (backing vocals).
