One of the most spectacular dates of POOH 60 – LA NOSTRA STORIA – ESTATE will take place on August 24, 2026, at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, where Roby Facchinetti, Dodi Battaglia, Red Canzian and Riccardo Fogli will celebrate one of the most remarkable careers in Italian music.
Pooh Live in Taormina on August 24, 2026
The 60th anniversary of the Pooh is one of the most eagerly awaited Italian music events of 2026. Following their arena concerts and special shows at the Arena di Verona, the celebrations continue throughout the summer in some of Italy’s most beautiful open-air venues.
The POOH 60 – LA NOSTRA STORIA – ESTATE tour, running from July to September, will arrive in Taormina on August 24, 2026, for a special concert at the magnificent Ancient Theatre of Taormina.
The event is organized by Fondazione Taormina Arte Sicilia as part of the international Festival Taormina Arte 2026and produced by Puntoeacapo Srl.
For fans, it will be a unique opportunity to hear some of the songs that have accompanied generations of Italians, performed in one of Sicily’s most extraordinary historic settings.
Three Pooh Concerts in Sicily
The Taormina concert will be the final stop of three Pooh concerts in Sicily in 2026.
The first date is scheduled for July 25, 2026, at the Greek Theatre of Syracuse, as part of the “Stelle al Teatro – Siracusa” festival.
The following evening, July 26, the Pooh will perform at the Teatro di Verdura in Palermo as part of the Dream Pop Fest Palermo programme.
The band will then return to Sicily on August 24 for the concert at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, bringing their Sicilian summer dates to a spectacular conclusion.
POOH 60 – LA NOSTRA STORIA
The new show has been created to tell the story of the Pooh through music, images, memories and spectacular stage design.
Rather than simply presenting a collection of greatest hits, POOH 60 – LA NOSTRA STORIA takes audiences on a journey through six decades of Italian music, from the band’s beginnings in the 1960s to their most recent performances together.
The project also recalls the spirit of their iconic 1991 tour, when the Pooh celebrated their first 25 years together.
For the 60th anniversary tour, graphics, stage sets and visual elements have been specially designed to retrace the different eras of the band and bring their extraordinary history to life on stage.
60 Years of Songs and Success
The story of the Pooh began in 1966, from an idea by Valerio Negrini. Since then, the band has experienced and helped shape several generations of Italian popular music.
Over the course of their career, the Pooh have sold more than 100 million records and received an impressive number of awards and recognitions.
They have also been pioneers in Italian live entertainment, experimenting with technology, multimedia, innovative stage design and spectacular visual effects long before these became standard elements of major concerts.
The anniversary tour features Roby Facchinetti, Dodi Battaglia, Red Canzian and Riccardo Fogli, reunited on stage to celebrate a musical legacy that has become part of Italian popular culture.
From the Arena di Verona to the Summer Tour
One of the highlights of the anniversary celebrations was POOH 60 – LA NOSTRA STORIA IN ARENA, with special concerts at the Arena di Verona on May 14 and 16.
For these performances, the band was accompanied by the Orchestra Ritmico Sinfonica Italiana conducted by Maestro Diego Basso, offering new arrangements of songs from their timeless repertoire.
After the summer concerts, the celebrations will continue from September to October 2026 with POOH 60 – LA NOSTRA STORIA – PALASPORT, bringing Roby Facchinetti, Dodi Battaglia, Red Canzian and Riccardo Fogli to major indoor arenas across Italy.
A Special Concert at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina
The Pooh concert in Taormina on August 24, 2026 promises to be particularly memorable because of its extraordinary location.
The Ancient Theatre of Taormina is one of Sicily’s most famous archaeological monuments and one of Italy’s most spectacular venues for live music and cultural events.
With its historic architecture and panoramic setting overlooking the Mediterranean landscape and Mount Etna, the theatre provides a unique atmosphere for summer performances.
Seeing the Pooh live in Taormina therefore offers much more than a concert. It is an opportunity to experience one of Italy’s most celebrated bands in one of Sicily’s most iconic locations.
The evening will symbolically bring together two very different stories: the ancient history of the theatre and the 60-year musical journey of a band whose songs have accompanied millions of people.
