Opening the "Albe in controuce" festival on the symbolic day of the summer solstice and in the heart of the "La Notte Rosa" weekend, will be Venerus, one of the most recognisable, intense and innovative voices of contemporary Italian songwriting. An artist capable of crossing genres and languages, over the years Venerus has built a unique path, in which writing, production and sound research coexist in a deeply personal and international dimension. With "Speriamo - Il tour 2026", organised and produced by Magellano Concerti, he brings live a project that was born as a natural extension of his last album: an immersive show in which the songs become living matter, are transformed, breathe and intertwine with stories, visions and emotions. On stage, each song opens up to new possibilities, restoring the multiple creative 'eras' that marked its birth. The concert takes the form of a veritable collective ritual, in which the audience is invited to allow themselves to be traversed by that sense of trusting abandon enclosed in that 'let's hope', today almost a daily mantra. An opening that finds its ideal dimension in Albe in controuce, a suspended, fragile and powerful time, where music meets the sea and listening becomes a total experience.
