Damiano David, charismatic frontman of the Italian rock band Måneskin, is embarking on his first solo world tour in 2025. The tour includes numerous countries, including Switzerland, with a concert on October 4 at Halle 622 in Zurich.
Damiano David has gained international recognition at the latest since winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Zitti e buoni" with Måneskin. Not only his distinctive voice, but also his energetic stage presence set him apart. Now he is venturing into a solo career to explore new musical facets.
Some fans speculate that the lead singer's solo career is the end for Måneskin. However, the artist vehemently denies this in interviews; for him, the solo career is like an Erasmus experience. In an interview with Gala, Damiano David said: "I wanted to tell a different part of my story that I hadn't really been able to tell up to that point. I felt the need to be completely honest with those who will listen to my songs. I felt like it was the right moment to do this." Back in September 2024, Damiano David released his first solo single "Silverlines", produced by Labrinth. This track shows a more personal, vulnerable side of the artist and is rather quiet, which is in contrast to Måneskin's otherwise rocking music. This was followed in October by the single "Born With A Broken Heart", which further emphasizes his musical range and his turn towards pop. The artist also said that his new songs reflect 120% of his personality.
Damiano David's solo career marks an important turning point in his musical career. His influence on the rock music scene is undisputed and it remains exciting to see how his solo project will affect the local music landscape. The upcoming concerts promise to be an intense experience for fans and could be a foretaste of the artist's future projects.
