Italia 90 + Tanz Akademie

Italia 90

Italia 90 are back. Once a quartet, now a trio, the band returns to the live scene with a refreshed line-up and an entirely new setlist. The event takes place on May 2, 2026 at 7:30 PM at Covo Club in Bologna.

The new songs, built on the success of their debut album Living Human Treasure (released in January 2023), take the group into less familiar territory—at times more melodic, at times darker. All of it is underpinned by the customary cohesion and precision, honed over decades of friendship, that remain the foundation of Italia 90’s sound.

The band has played extensively across the UK and Europe, delivering well-received sets at festivals such as The Great Escape (UK), MIL and Milhões de Festa (Portugal), Le Guess Who and Left of the Dial (Netherlands), and Fuzz Fest (Czechia).

Tanz Akademie

Tanz Akademie are a six-piece from Piedmont—indie/post-punk/whatever you want to call them—who can’t stay still for long. After the positive reception to their debut record Hullabaloo (2024), they played nearly 80 shows across Italy and Europe, most recently opening for Italia 90 in London. They now have a new album due by the end of the year, produced by Icelandic musician/producer Bjarni Daníel Thorvaldsson (Supersport!) and producer/engineer Manuel Volpe of Okum Studio. They love the Covo and are returning to the club’s stage.
