The Mad-Dog return to the stage of X Factor 2026 with Mrs. Robinson. The Sassari band performed today, Thursday, October 29, on the talent show’s second Live, taking on the Simon & Garfunkel classic with a nod to the version by the Lemonheads.
The video was shared on Instagram by the official profiles of Sky and NOW, accompanied by the phrase “From Sassari with fury”: a nod to the group’s roots as they continue their journey on Paola Iezzi’s team.
The performance of Mrs. Robinson
As reported in the article about Paola Iezzi assigning Mrs. Robinson to Mad-Dog, she had asked the four musicians to bring together Simon & Garfunkel’s original and the Lemonheads’ reinterpretation, while also seeking a connection to the present.
After Kasabian’s Club Foot, performed on the first Live, Renato Marchisio, Davide Dore, Luca Pintus and Jacopo Sale now reach another milestone on television. The official reel lets viewers watch their performance again, set to the song chosen for this second evening.
