Maneskin frontman Damiano David's
first solo world tour starts in September 2025, with over 30
dates in Europe, Australia, North America, South America and
Asia, his label said Monday.
Two dates are scheduled in Italy: on October 7 at the Unipol
Forum in Milan and on October 11 at the Palazzo dello Sport in
Rome.
The tour (produced by Vivo Concerti) will start on September 11
in Warsaw, then touch several European cities and then continue
in Australia and Japan.
From November 7, Damiano will be the protagonist of 4 live shows
in South America and the grand finale is the 11 dates in North
America, where he will conclude the tour on December 16 at The
Fillmore in Washington DC.
The announcement of the tour follows the release of Born With A
Broken Heart, the second song and first single of the new solo
project of the Maneskin singer.
The song is "uptempo, overwhelming and full of energy,
characterized by a theatrical atmosphere that makes it perfect
for the live dimension," said the record label.
"Born With A Broken Heart comes after Silverlines, produced by
Labrinth: two completely different songs that manage to best
show Damiano's versatility."
The Roman artist has already given the public a taste of his
upcoming concerts with his solo TV debut on The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed Silverlines and Born
With A Broken Heart live, at the performance of Silverlines on
Che tempo che fa on Italian TV and at an exclusive showcase that
David held at le Poisson Rouge in New York, where he also
presented a live preview of three new unreleased songs among
those that will make up his first solo album.
David, taking a break from the world-beating Roman rock band to
pursue a solo career, recently put out a video of Born With A
Broken Heart showing the 25-year-old rocker sporting his new 50s
screen star look and dancing as if in a classic Hollywood
musical.
"The video represents my imagination" said David, whose band
became a global smash after winning the Sanremo Song Festival
and
the Eurovision Song Contest.
"A world where, no matter what, once you walk through the door,
everything becomes magical and beautiful.
"It's a way of saying that not everything that is negative will
hurt you, but sometimes it will actually take you to the next
chapter of your life.
"We all have the ability to transform negative experiences into
something meaningful for us."
Born With A Broken Heart is a song full of energy, in apparent
contrast with the deeply soulful and emotional lyrics.
Despite being born from a difficult period in the singer's life,
the song is characterized by a catchy chorus and a sound that
gives lightness to the depth of the lyrics.
"When I wrote this song, I was coming out of a very dark
moment," he says.
"I felt apathetic and I was afraid of having lost my ability to
feel and experience feelings, both positive and negative.
"All this happened at the moment in which I was starting the
most important relationship of my life and the fear of not being
ready or up to it was enormous," he said, referring to his
break-up
after nearly six years with Italian model and influencer Giorgia
Soleri, and his new relationship with American actress and
singer Dove Cameron.
"I think this song was a way to make sense of what I was
feeling, looking at everything from a less scary perspective.
"I'm happy that I don't feel that way anymore, but I think that
many people can relate to this sense of inadequacy".
