For the past decade, Måneskin has been one of the most electric forces in rock music. From their roots in Rome’s bustling street corners to selling out arenas across the globe, the Italian quartet—Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi, and Ethan Torchio—have redefined what it means to be a modern rock band in the 21st century. Now, the group has announced what may be their boldest statement yet: the 2026 farewell tour titled One Last Ride.
This announcement marks both a celebration and a bittersweet goodbye. While the band has not completely ruled out reuniting in the future, the tour is being billed as their final global run together. And if there’s one thing Måneskin has always promised, it’s to go out in flames of sound, spectacle, and unapologetic energy.
A Band That Redefined Global Rock
When Måneskin exploded onto the international scene after winning the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with their raw and rebellious anthem Zitti e buoni, few could have predicted the extent of their rise. They bridged gaps between languages, cultures, and generations, all while bringing back the attitude of classic rock for a new era.
Their blend of hard-hitting guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and flamboyant stage presence earned them comparisons to rock icons like Queen, The Rolling Stones, and Guns N’ Roses. But what set them apart was their bold authenticity—unapologetic lyrics, gender-fluid fashion, and an unabashed celebration of individuality.
By the time they released albums like Rush! and embarked on back-to-back world tours, Måneskin had proven they weren’t a fleeting phenomenon. They were leaders of a global rock revival.
Why a Farewell Now?
The announcement of One Last Ride shocked fans around the world. Why would a band at the height of its popularity decide to call it quits—at least for now?
While official statements have been careful not to assign a single reason, hints point to a mix of personal and professional motivations. Constant touring, creative differences, and the desire to explore individual projects all seem to play a role.
Damiano has previously spoken about his interest in acting, while Victoria has long been passionate about fashion and activism. Ethan and Thomas have both hinted at pursuing different musical ventures. After nearly a decade together, the need to take separate paths seems both natural and inevitable.
Rather than fading away or dragging on with half-hearted projects, Måneskin is choosing to end this chapter on their own terms—with a farewell tour that honors everything they’ve built.
‘One Last Ride’: What Fans Can Expect
The One Last Ride tour is shaping up to be more than just a concert series—it’s a grand farewell spectacle. Early teasers suggest that the shows will be bigger, louder, and more theatrical than anything the band has attempted before.
A Global Journey
The tour is expected to cover every continent where Måneskin has cultivated fans, from North America to South America, across Europe, and into Asia and Australia. Stadiums and arenas will be packed with the energy of audiences who have grown alongside the band.
The Setlist of Dreams
Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist, from early hits like Chosen and Torna a casa to global anthems like Beggin’, I Wanna Be Your Slave, and Supermodel. There are also whispers of unreleased material being performed live as part of their final gift to audiences.
A Show That Pushes Limits
Måneskin has always blurred the line between a concert and a performance art piece. Their farewell shows are likely to lean into that reputation, combining visual spectacle with raw rock chaos—fire, fashion, and everything in between.
The Emotional Weight of Goodbye
For fans, this farewell feels personal. Måneskin was more than a band—they became a cultural phenomenon. They championed self-expression, queer identity, and breaking free of societal norms. For many young fans, they were a lifeline in moments of doubt, a symbol that being different was not only acceptable but powerful.
Their concerts weren’t just performances; they were communal experiences of freedom and release. Saying goodbye means more than losing new music—it means the end of an era of connection.
For the band members, too, the farewell will carry emotional weight. They have often described themselves as a family, bound together since their teenage years. Touring the world for the last time as a unit is both a celebration of their journey and a poignant closing of a chapter.
Legacy of a Rock Renaissance
As Måneskin prepares for One Last Ride, their impact on music is undeniable. They didn’t just create songs—they created a movement.
- Rock Revival: At a time when pop and hip-hop dominated the charts, Måneskin reminded the world that rock could still be loud, relevant, and unapologetically cool.
- Fashion and Identity: Their fearless fashion choices challenged gender norms and inspired countless fans to embrace individuality.
- Global Success in Italian: Singing in both Italian and English, they proved that music truly has no borders, bringing a non-English act to mainstream charts worldwide.
- Cultural Influence: Måneskin became a symbol of rebellion, artistry, and inclusivity for Gen Z and beyond.
Their Guinness-level record sales, award wins, and headline festival performances cement them as one of the defining acts of the 2020s.
Could This Really Be the End?
Farewell tours are notorious in rock history. Many bands announce goodbyes only to reunite years later. While Måneskin insists this is their final ride, they’ve also been careful not to close the door entirely.
Fans speculate that this could be more of a hiatus than a permanent breakup, with members returning after pursuing solo dreams. Rock legends from The Eagles to Mötley Crüe have proven that the allure of the stage is hard to resist.
Whether or not Måneskin reunites in the future, one thing is certain: this farewell tour will be etched in history as a cultural event.
Preparing for ‘One Last Ride’
As tickets go on sale, fans are already bracing for a frenzy. Demand is expected to shatter records, with shows selling out in minutes. For many, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness Måneskin live before they step away from the spotlight.
The band has promised surprises at every stop, making each concert unique. From special guests to exclusive performances, One Last Ride is designed to give fans memories they’ll hold forever.
Conclusion: A Farewell Worthy of Legends
Måneskin’s Grand Farewell: One Last Ride isn’t just a tour—it’s a cultural milestone. It represents the end of one of the most exciting chapters in modern rock music. For fans, it’s a chance to celebrate everything the band has given: the anthems, the chaos, the freedom, and the unforgettable moments.
As the final chords fade and the lights dim on their last show, Måneskin will leave behind more than just music. They will leave a legacy of authenticity, defiance, and connection that will continue to inspire long after the amps go silent.
For now, all that remains is to join the ride, raise a glass, and scream the lyrics one more time: this is not just a goodbye—it’s Måneskin’s final roar.
