After having conquered the clubs of Europe with his EUROPEAN TOUR (17 dates in 10 countries, almost all sold out), from 3 July MAHMOOD will be the protagonist of the most evocative Italian summer festivals with the SUMMER TOUR, awaiting the tour in Italian arenas , due to
October 2024.
In the months of July and August MAHMOOD will stop at the main festivals with its SUMMER TOUR, produced by Friends & Partners: first appointment on 3 July at Arena Mare 42° 15° in Termoli (CB) for the Termoli Summer Festival, the only date between Molise and Abruzzo of the tour.
Also released on Friday, June 14th was “RA TA TA”, written by MAHMOOD and produced by Katoo and Madfingerz, it is a story in which images sculpted by the artist’s unique style follow one another. Young people who live a daily life of discomfort, between insults and bad company, in which the typical elements of childhood – games, fruit juice – mix in an oxymoron made of abandonment and difficulty, where the machine-gun mouth that shoots out words in bursts becomes the only weapon to defend oneself from injustice.
The videoclip is directed by Attilio Cusani and MAHMOOD himself, with production by Borotalco.tv in collaboration with +216/Capsul. Filmed in a hot Tunisian summer, its protagonists are boys and girls of all ages who alternate their days between moments of boredom and scenes of aggregation. Trips by scooter and evening gatherings, with the city lights as a backdrop and the hope of being able to create new horizons together.
The summer tour will be the occasion to listen live to this new single and the songs from the album “NEI LETTI DEGLI ALTRI”. In fact, MAHMOOD, accompanied by his trusted band – featuring Francesco Fugazza on guitar, Marcello Grilli on keyboards and Elia Pastori on drums – and backing singers Arya Del Gado and Debora Cesti, will propose a setlist with his most intimate songs such as “COCKTAIL D’AMORE” (gold record), “NEL TUO MARE” and the moving “STELLA CADENTE” up to the more irreverent “NEVE SULLE JORDAN” and “PERSONALE”. There will also be no shortage of less recent successes, which with a dive into the past give us new arrangements of “INUYASHA”, “BRIVIDI”, “RAPIDE” and many others, in addition to the highly anticipated “SOLDI” and “TUTA GOLD”.
The album “NEI LETTI DEGLI ALTRI” was released on all platforms on February 16th and in physical formats on March 8th, with three new songs and two exceptional collaborations: “PERSONALE” with Geolier (gold record), “OVERDOSE” and “SEMPRE/JAMAIS” with Belgian singer Angèle.

It also ranked #5 on Spotify’s Global Debut Top Albums (weekend 4-6pm
February).
