Ligabue in Milan 2026: “Certe notti”, the grand finale and music that helps us start again
Ligabue’s Milan date on 24 October 2026 has ended. We revisit songs from earlier stops and the information published for the Unipol Dome show, alongside the charity initiatives he supported in Emilia and Romagna.
In the WhatsApp group, a message appears: “Who’s coming to see Ligabue?” Someone replies straight away. Someone needs to make plans. Someone else simply names the song they want to hear.
The Milan date of Saturday 24 October 2026 has ended. It was the final arena date of the La Notte di Certe Notti tour, announced at the Unipol Dome in Santa Giulia with a 21:00 start. We do not have a verified final setlist for the Milan show.
But a crowd gathered in front of a stage can also help create something that lasts beyond the final song. Ligabue’s story offers two powerful examples.
Italy Loves Emilia: showing up after the earthquake
On 22 September 2012, Ligabue joined many leading Italian musicians at Italy Loves Emilia in Campovolo. The concert supported fundraising for reconstruction after the earthquake in Emilia: a shared effort to bring audiences together and help the affected communities.
Italy Loves Romagna: €3 million for six projects
In 2023, following the floods, Ligabue was among the artists who took part in Italy Loves Romagna, held at Campovolo on 24 June.
The event raised a total of €3 million for six cultural projects, including work for the Malatestiana Library in Cesena, the Giuseppe Sarti Music School in Faenza and the Municipal Archives in Forlì. This was the result of the whole initiative, with contributions from audiences, artists and organisers.
A library, a music school, an archive: places that preserve stories and allow new ones to begin. They, too, are part of a community’s recovery. Music and solidarity also come together in the story of Pooh’s charitable work.
Tour setlist: songs performed at earlier stops
The tour celebrates 30 years of Certe notti and the album Buon compleanno Elvis. Earlier dates featured songs including Balliamo sul mondo, Non è tempo per noi, Piccola stella senza cielo, Il meglio deve ancora venire, Una vita da mediano, Questa è la mia vita, Urlando contro il cielo, A modo tuo, Happy Hour, Tra palco e realtà and Certe notti.
The repertoire varies between dates: these songs are a reference, not a confirmed setlist for Milan.
Unipol Dome: archived concert information
The concert was scheduled at the Unipol Dome in Milan Santa Giulia. The arena website listed the M3 to Rogoredo, followed by the event shuttle or a walk of about 25 minutes. Parking at the venue required booking.
The venue’s rules allowed one small bag per person, no larger than A4. Large bags and backpacks were not permitted, and there were no storage facilities for bulky luggage.
Doors at 19:00, show at 21:00: these were the times published by the Unipol Dome’s official page for 24 October. They remain here as archive information.
Back to the WhatsApp group: which Ligabue song do you feel like hearing again? If you are planning your next night out together, here are dates and information for Pinguini Tattici Nucleari’s club shows.
