Piero Pelù's "Il Ritorno del Diablo Tour 2025" officially kicked off on April 14, 2025, at the Magazzini Generali in Milan, where the concert sold out quickly, reflecting the fervent enthusiasm of fans. This tour not only showcases Pelù's electric performances but also celebrates significant milestones in his career, marking 40 years since the release of his iconic album Desaparecido (1985), 35 years since El Diablo (1990), 30 years of Spirito (1995), and 25 years of Né buoni né cattivi (2000).
Following the overwhelming response to the initial performances, three new dates have been added to the tour: October 6, 2025, in Milan, October 10, 2025, in Florence, and October 12, 2025, in Rome. Tickets for these additional shows went on sale immediately after the announcement, with fans eager to secure their spots for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Pelù, accompanied by his band, the Bandidos—featuring Amudi Safa on guitar, Luca "Mitraglia" Martelli on drums, and Max "Sigel" Gelsi on bass—will also welcome a special guest: Antonio Aiazzi, a legendary keyboardist known for his work with the iconic band Litfiba. Aiazzi's presence adds an extra layer of excitement, as he will perform classic Litfiba tracks alongside Pelù's solo material.
The opening act for each concert will be the young rock band Spleen from Florence, known for their explosive sound and vibrant performances. This selection of acts sets the stage for a night filled with energy, nostalgia, and a celebration of Italian rock history.
Reflecting on the opening night in Milan, Pelù expressed his gratitude to the audience, stating, "Thank you, Milan! I was overwhelmed by your energy, your looks, and the emotions.
