Labadessa Live - Tour Sudaticcio 2026

## LABADESSA BRINGS THE “SWEATY TOUR” TO CASA DELLE ARTI

On August 29, the singer-songwriter and illustrator will bring his live show—combining music, drawing, and an irony capable of capturing the vulnerabilities of the present—to Conversano.

**Conversano (BA), August 29, 2026** – Following a winter club tour that ended with a series of sold-out shows, Labadessa is returning to the stage with the **Tour Sudaticcio – Spring/Summer 2026**, stopping at Casa delle Arti in Conversano on August 29.

Mattia Labadessa brings to the stage an artistic universe built through different yet deeply interconnected forms of expression: songs, illustrations, words, and images. It is an immediately recognizable world, born online around the famous red bird-man and developed over time through books, graphic novels, and music.

His live show emerges precisely from the meeting of these different dimensions. Music becomes the space in which Labadessa’s visual and narrative universes take on a new form, while retaining the direct, unfiltered writing that has characterized his career. Together with his band, the artist moves through the musical repertoire he has created since 2019, alternating better-known songs with new compositions and creating an energetic, highly personal show.

Labadessa’s language begins with everyday experiences: anxiety, loneliness, relationships, a sense of inadequacy, and the desire to find one’s place in the world. These intimate themes are addressed through a particular balance of irony and melancholy, transforming individual discomfort into something that can be shared.

This is the defining quality of his project: taking feelings that are difficult to put into words and conveying them through essential images, immediate language, and songs that retain a strong autobiographical dimension. This way of describing the present has enabled Labadessa to build a diverse audience community over the years—first through illustration and later through music.

His musical journey began in 2019 with songs such as *Montesanto*, *Dovremmo prendere un cane*, and *Tra le giostre*. In the years that followed, the project expanded with new songs, including *Letto panorama*, *Le foche*, *Penso a te*, and *Cappuccini*, consolidating the transition from the world of illustration to that of live musical performance.

With the **Tour Sudaticcio – Spring/Summer 2026**, Labadessa is bringing his project to festival stages and cultural events throughout Italy, with dates that have included, among others, MI AMI Festival in Milan, Flowers Festival in Turin, Testaccio Estate in Rome, Ribalta Marea in Cesenatico, Lightblue Festival in Sicily, and Color Fest in Calabria.

The Conversano date comes at the end of an intense summer and is one of the highlights of Casa delle Arti’s **Summer Season 2026**, the summer program dedicated to music, theater, contemporary circus, and new forms of expression.

The concert is part of the second year of **ITs – Identity, Territory, Scenarios**, a three-year project supported by the Ministry of Culture and the Puglia Region. Through Casa delle Arti’s programming, the project connects artists, communities, and territories, creating opportunities for encounters centered on contemporary forms of expression.
