Zucchero Fornaciari will headline New Year’s Eve 2027 in Sassari. Mayor Giuseppe Mascia confirmed the concert on social media, and the poster gives the date and venue: Thursday, December 31, 2026, at Piazzale Segni. The singer-songwriter will take to the stage with his band for New Year’s Eve.
Mascia’s announcement and the collaboration with Gian Production and Lebonski 360
“Sassari, awaken the devil in you!” That’s the call to Diavolo in me with which Mascia opened his post on the profile @masciasindaco. In the message, the mayor thanked Gian Production and Lebonski 360, the company founded by Sardinian rapper Salmo, for their collaboration. The poster also features Friends & Partners, which represents Zucchero.
The announcement comes after the procedure launched by the City Council for New Year’s Eve. The contract for Zucchero and his band’s performance was awarded to Gian Production Srl for 633,050 euros, excluding VAT. The funding earmarked for the overall organization of New Year’s Eve in Sassari was estimated in October at around 1.6 million euros. The final cost has yet to be determined.
To help cover the costs of the year-end concerts, the Sardinia Region opened a grant program for municipalities. The application period closed on November 13. Any grant awarded to Sassari has yet to be announced.
Piazzale Segni hosts the New Year’s Eve concert once again
The stage returns to the same square that hosted Max Pezzali on December 31, 2025. According to figures released by the City Council, around 35,000 people watched the show that evening, both in the concert area and in nearby spaces. Zucchero’s live performance joins the events celebrating New Year’s Eve 2027 in Sardinia.
Mascia has said that details of the evening will be announced shortly. Still to be announced are the concert time, the full program, and the entry arrangements. Information is also expected on parking, any shuttle buses, and traffic changes.
