Melanie Martinez - Hades: The Sacrifice

Melanie Martinez brings Hades: The Sacrifice to Unipol Forum in Assago, Italy, on September 17, 2026. Known for a pop language that shifts between dark pop, electropop and art pop, she builds songs like short stories, mixing nursery-rhyme hooks, electronic textures and hip‑hop and R&B accents to explore childhood, social norms and inner fault lines. After early attention on The Voice, she set her own path with Cry Baby, then pushed the concept further with K-12, a full album paired with a film she wrote and directed. The After School EP sketched a more direct, personal angle, while Portals opened her sound to more organic, rock and experimental colours without losing her taste for characters and tightly drawn visual worlds.

On stage, Martinez treats the concert as a narrative space, shaping a persona through makeup, costume and staging. Hades: The Sacrifice fits that approach, pointing to mythic undertones and a storyline threaded through her catalogue. Between immersive visuals and a set that moves from intimate confession to theatrical tableaux, she connects the music to images with a clear sense of direction, bringing her universe to life in a live format made for large rooms and dedicated fans.
