THE KOLORS

Among the most anticipated and energetic musical events on the lineup of this edition of Effetto Venezia 2026 stands out the special stage of “THE KOLORS LIVE 2026” set on the main stage of Piazza del Luogo Pio on July 29th. The extraordinary show marks the band’s grand return to the live dimension, bringing to the festival stage a top international production and an overwhelming setlist that encapsulates years of successes and international records.

Shining the spotlight on this highly anticipated concert is the recent and resounding success of the new single “ROLLING STONES” which quickly climbed the radio charts, establishing itself as the second highest new entry in its debut week. The track, accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by the collective YouNuts! and produced by Maestro — featuring the extraordinary participation of Eva Henger and Gianni Celeste —, represents a dive into the freshest and most infectious reggae. The song merges The Kolors’ characteristic funk-pop attitude with an irresistible tropical groove, ushering in a new evolution of their sound thanks to the outstanding signatures of Calcutta and Davide Petrella, capable of blending the most refined indie imagery with impeccable pop structure.

The audience of Effetto Venezia will have the opportunity to relive live the extraordinary artistic journey of the band — composed of Antonio Stash Fiordispino on vocals and guitar, Alex Fiordispino on drums, and Dario Iaculli on bass — started in Milan in 2009 and consecrated in 2015 with the victory of the TV show “Amici”. Since then, the band has achieved exceptional milestones, starting from the album “Out” and the hit “Everytime”, moving on to the Sanremo debut in 2018 with “Frida (never, never, never)” and successful collaborations with heavyweight figures in the national and international scene like Elodie, Guè Pequeno, and the American superstar Gucci Mane.

The ultimate global consecration, which will resonate with all its power in Piazza del Luogo Pio, came in 2023 with the explosion of “Italodisco” — a phenomenon with over 305 million streams, six platinum records in Italy, and the prestigious double diamond record in Poland — followed by the success of “A boy a girl”, the hit “Karma” (the most played track on radio in 2024) and recent hits like “Who are you making love to?” and “Ready how are you?”, dominating the charts alongside a massive sold-out European tour. With a track record boasting 4 gold records, 20 platinum records, 2 diamond records, and over 700 million total streams on Spotify, The Kolors’ show promises to be a concentration of rhythm, style, and charisma ready to make the entire city dance.
