Zucchero Verona Tickets 2027 – Blue’s 40th

Zucchero returns to the Arena di Verona in 2027 for Blue’s 40th, a special series of seven concerts celebrating four decades since the release of one of the defining albums of his career. The shows will take place on September 25, 26, 28 and 30, and October 2, 3 and 4, 2027, with performances scheduled for 21:00.

Verona has become closely associated with Zucchero’s live career, making the historic Arena a particularly fitting setting for this anniversary. Fans looking for Zucchero Verona tickets can check the available options for each date and choose their preferred concert and seating category.

Blue’s 40th at the Arena di Verona

Released on June 15, 1987, Blue’s marked an important turning point in Zucchero’s career and helped establish the combination of blues, soul, rock and Italian songwriting that became central to his sound.

The record includes songs such as “Con Le Mani,” “Dune Mosse,” “Senza Una Donna,” “Hey Man” and “Non Ti Sopporto Più.” Its musicians also reflected Zucchero’s increasingly international approach, with contributors including David Sancious, Clarence Clemons, Andrew Love and Wayne Jackson.

Forty years later, Blue’s provides the focus for these seven special Verona concerts. Rather than simply another stop on a conventional tour, the 2027 Arena dates have been announced specifically to mark the album's anniversary.

Zucchero at the Arena di Verona

Zucchero has a long history with the Arena di Verona. By the time these new concerts were announced, he had performed 66 shows at the amphitheatre, including 22 concerts within a twelve-month period between 2016 and 2017.

He later played 14 consecutive performances in 2022 and returned for another extended series of concerts in 2025. The venue has consequently become one of the recurring landmarks of his live career rather than simply another Italian concert location.

That history gives Blue’s 40th an additional dimension. The album being celebrated was crucial to Zucchero's artistic development, while the Arena has played a major role in the decades of live performances that followed.

From Blue’s to Zucchero’s Best-Known Songs

Although the anniversary places Blue’s at the centre of the project, Zucchero arrives in Verona with a catalogue built across four decades of international touring.

Songs including “Diamante,” “Diavolo in Me,” “Baila (Sexy Thing),” “X Colpa Di Chi?” and the internationally successful version of “Senza Una Donna (Without a Woman)” have become regular reference points in his career. Recent live projects have continued to combine material from different periods with his distinctive mix of blues, gospel, soul and rock.

The Verona dates are not Zucchero’s only 2027 concerts in Italy: in June he closes the BAILA (sexy thing) 25th – Under the Moonlight celebration at San Siro in Milan, returning to the Arena di Verona in September for the Blue’s concerts.

Arena di Verona

The Roman amphitheatre in the centre of Verona provides a setting very different from a conventional indoor arena. Its open-air configuration has a long history of large-scale music performances.

For Zucchero, however, the significance is also personal to his touring history. Multiple extended residencies have turned the Arena into one of the venues most closely identified with his concerts.

Choosing Your Seat for Zucchero at the Arena di Verona

The Arena di Verona is an open-air Roman amphitheatre, and the seating for the Blue's 40th concerts is organised in three areas. These are the names you will see when you choose your tickets, with the Italian names the Arena also uses:

• Floor Seats (Platea) — numbered seats on the arena floor, the area closest to the stage.
• Lower Ring Seats (Poltroncina) — seating on the lower tiers, raised above the floor, facing the stage.
• Upper Ring Seats (Gradinata) — the higher tiers of the amphitheatre, which are the original stone steps, with a wide view over the whole Arena.

All three areas are seated. If the area matters to you more than the day of the week, compare the same area across the seven dates before choosing.
