Last night the Unipol Forum became a street and the absolute protagonist of the square is the 'Church' rebuilt on the stage.
Yes, exactly! A cathedral with crosses, balcony and everything.
It is in this framework that SHIVA closes the Milanese triple of his tour 'Shiva Live 2026' which will end tomorrow, May 23, at the Analpi Arena in Turin. (NB: if you don't want to miss the show, move before the next sold out!)
The tour celebrates “Vangelo”, a monumental success for Italian rap which, a few weeks after its debut, has already achieved platinum status.
This album represents the transition towards a different musical perspective compared to the past. It's about raw truth, love and connection with faith.
This is a theme that is very present throughout the show. The church, in fact, is adorned with imposing screen-buildings and sidereal lights. The fiery geysers move to the rhythm of the bass: a visual and sound contrast which, enveloped in a biblical atmosphere, drags the parterre between the flames of hell and the clouds of paradise.
The pinnacle of this divine allegory is reached when he attacks “God exists”, the most intense and intimate piece of the album, given as an exclusive surprise to fans this evening.
The visual contrast immediately translates into a devastating sound impact when they literally emerge from the church doors Anna And Kid Yugirespectively with the new mines “Obsessed” And “Babyface”, hitting the audience with a hardcore charge.
In a show where scene and beat already speak for themselves, Shiva prefers concreteness to many words. Yet, the very few times he takes the microphone to speak to his 'people', the weight of every word is relevant and profound.
“I'm just someone like you, nothing different.”
He confesses with a new maturity, shaking the hands of the front rows who followed him during the “Shiva Live 2026”.
Before turning off the spotlight, leave a powerful manifesto to the new generations:
“Always keep dreaming and believe in your dreams.”
With these words the parable from the Gospel according to Shiva takes place in Milan, the lights come on and the Forum empties with one certainty: he witnessed those who transformed their demons into music.
