The Municipality of Pisa will celebrate the arrival of 2026 with a great free New Year's concert open to all in Piazza dei Cavalieri, where Alfa, one of the most beloved young Italian artists of the moment, will perform on the evening of December 31st. The organization of the event is managed by Pisamo in collaboration with the Municipality of Pisa.
The protagonist will be the young and authentic Alfa artist, capable of exciting and singing entire generations together.
Andrea De Filippi, aka Alfa, born in 2000, from Genoa, he is among the most listened to singer-songwriters of the new Italian pop scene: over 265 million views on YouTube, six platinum records and a summer of 2025 marked by the success of the song “A me mi piace” in collaboration with Manu Chao. Fresh from a tour of the main Italian sports halls, Alfa will bring its energy and successes to Pisa to accompany the public on the countdown to the new year.
The New Year's concert, designed to experience together the most awaited night of the year in the heart of the city between music, party and entertainment, represents the final event of the Christmas holiday calendar.
The show will start at 10.00 pm, with Alfa as the protagonist until midnight. At midnight, the traditional fireworks will also be held, illuminating the city's Lungarni.
After the toast, the evening will continue until late at night with the DJ set of Demetra & Bianca, a Tuscan duo of DJs and producers known for their combination of music, fashion and artistic performances.
