Ricky Martin European Tour

Ricky Martin returns to Italy after fifteen years

On June 21, 2026, San Benedetto del Tronto hosts one of the most anticipated musical events of the Marche summer: Ricky Martin has chosen the SanPark Adriatic for his only Italian date on the European tour. This marks the Puerto Rican pop star's return to stages in our country after about fifteen years of absence, a hiatus not due to a decline in Italian audience interest but to a precise personal and professional choice by the artist, who was long focused on the US market.

An exclusive stop on the Riviera delle Palme

The choice of San Benedetto del Tronto, a seaside town in the Province of Ascoli Piceno and the heart of the Riviera delle Palme, confirms the growing role of the SanPark Adriatic, the new hub for major events inaugurated in the summer of 2025 on Viale dello Sport, a stone's throw from the Riviera delle Palme Stadium. The single-date format maintains the event's strong exclusivity, capable of attracting audiences from all over Italy to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Marche region.

A cast of exceptional guests

The evening is not limited to the headliner's concert. The long day of music opens with a pre-show by saxophonist Jimmy Sax, followed by opening acts Samurai Jay and Fred De Palma. After Ricky Martin's performance, the party continues with an after-show DJ set by Gabry Ponte. The official radio partner for the event is RTL 102.5.

A career between pop and Latin rhythms

On the SanPark Adriatic stage, Ricky Martin presents a show that revisits his entire career, alternating the great classics that made him an international icon with his more recent songs. Among the announced titles are Livin' la Vida Loca and La Copa de la Vida, symbols of a repertoire that brought Latin music to the top of the charts worldwide.

An event for the Marche region

For San Benedetto del Tronto and the entire Marche Region, hosting the only Italian date of an artist of Ricky Martin's caliber represents a significant opportunity for tourism and regional promotion, right in the middle of the summer season, amidst the sea, the promenade, and the pedestrian zone that animate the city during this time of year.
