Vasco Rossi: the first previews of the 2026 tour lineup

Vasco Rossi, on social media, he published a video from his studio with a caption that tells of himself struggling with the construction of the perfect setlist for the 2026 Tour, with “Bolle di Sapone” in the backgroundalmost as if to suggest a special role already in these early stages. He writes that he is working on the intro of the live shows, but who knows, maybe the song chosen as the soundtrack will also make it into the show. “Bolle di Sapone” is a classic piece from Vasco’s repertoire, originally present in the album “What’s happening in the city”published in June 1985 and considered one of the critical turning points in his musical career, capable of describing the creative process itself with irony and poetry.

The song uses the metaphor of soap bubbles to talk about how songs are born: too much zeal kills the magic, while abandonment and letting go are what allow ideas, like bubbles, to form and fly. Vasco himself defined this piece “a small masterpiece never performed live”one of those songs that tell the artist’s freedom in its purest form. This year, on the occasion of “40 years of What happens in the city”a new version called “RPlay Soap Bubbles“, edited by the producer Pàstano wins and accompanied by an animated video clip that visually takes up the metaphor of bubbles as a symbol of creation and music that is released

The choice to use this song in the video dedicated to the construction of the Tour 2026 lineup it is not accidental: “Soap Bubbles” represents the idea of return to creative rootsbut also an ideal bridge towards what is to come. With its lyrics that celebrate the free spirit of the music and its nostalgic, reflective tone, it actually might be one of the first songs of the next setlist, if not even the intro, just as Vasco suggests.
