Band Roots And Rise
Blonde Redhead, the New York–formed alternative rock trio, is heading back to Europe with two Italian shows this summer. Sisters Kazu Makino and Amedeo Pace and drummer Simone Pace have built a devoted global following since their 1993 debut, blending dreamy melodies with shoegaze textures and art-rock edge. Over the years the band has released eight studio albums, earned critical praise for their boundary-pushing sound and toured the world’s top venues and festivals.
Tour Dates And Venues
In an Instagram announcement captioned “Italy 🤍 we can’t wait to play for you! ✨,” Blonde Redhead revealed two live dates: June 30 at Circolo Magnolia in Milan and July 1 at Bonsaibologna in Bologna. Both intimate club settings are known for hosting forward-thinking international acts. Fans are encouraged to grab tickets via the links in the band’s Instagram bio before these limited-capacity shows sell out.
New Album Highlights
Recent Instagram activity shows the group is keen to present material from their latest project. In a March post, they celebrated the release of Sit Down for Dinner—“Our first album in 9 years, Sit Down for Dinner, is out today 🍓😍 featuring Section1.world”—underscoring their return to studio work after a hiatus. Expect tracks like “Not Getting There” and “Unseen Hand” to feature alongside deep cuts from previous records, promising a varied setlist that spans their three-decade career.
In that related Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxx30Jqufjr/), the band shared photos by Gus Powell and credited collaborators, underlining a creative vision that extends beyond the stage.
Past Performances And Fan Buzz
Blonde Redhead’s live reputation has only grown thanks to standout festival appearances—most recently at Coachella, where they posted “thank you @coachella” alongside black-and-white performance shots. Their North American runs have sold out key theatres from Cincinnati’s Woodward Theater to Brooklyn’s Music Hall. European fans, long clamoring for more continental stops, will finally get a chance to experience the band’s dynamic stage presence up close.
Venue Spotlights
Circolo Magnolia, set on Milan’s Navigli canal, is a converted warehouse known for its warm acoustics and art-centric events. In Bologna, Bonsaibologna operates as both a creative hub and music venue housed in an industrial space. Both locations reflect the band’s artistic spirit, offering immersive environments for live music lovers.
Ticketing information is available on Blonde Redhead’s official Instagram page (@blonderedheadofficial) and the venues’ websites. Prices vary by location, and early purchase is advised for guaranteed entry.
Blonde Redhead’s return to Italy caps off a busy season of global touring and underscores the band’s continued relevance in the indie-rock sphere. As anticipation builds, Italian audiences can look forward to two nights of genre-defying soundscapes and the unmistakable energy that has defined Blonde Redhead for more than 30 years.
