Zucchero

Zucchero plays Wembley Arena in London on 27 June 2026. The Italian singer-songwriter (Adelmo Fornaciari) has carved a path between blues, soul and pop rock, building songs around a distinctive voice, gospel-tinged harmonies and rhythm-and-blues grooves. On stage he moves easily from electric drive to more rootsy textures, switching between Italian and English with the same feel for melody. His catalogue spans Blue’s and Oro incenso & birra to Miserere, Spirito DiVino, Shake, Black Cat and D.O.C., a journey that folds ballads into rawer blues numbers without losing the thread of the chorus. Collaborations with Eric Clapton, B.B. King and a duet with Luciano Pavarotti helped open his music to a wider audience; live, that network shows in arrangements that leave space for guitar, keys and backing vocals to breathe. This date at Wembley leans into that long run of songs, drawing from several eras and highlighting the blend of Italian songwriting, R&B pulse and soulful uplift that defines his shows.
