    The Italy Pop-Music Fest will open on August 19 with Negramaro and the band's unmistakable music mixing electronic sounds with rock and romantic inspirations.
    Over the course of the past twenty years, Negramaro have left an indelible mark in music, becoming the first Italian band to perform at Milan's San Siro Stadium and at the Verona Arena, among other accomplishments, thanks to their powerful and unique combination of electro-pop, rock and romanticism.
    The sublime and unique voice of Elisa, an internationally acclaimed artist, will be the protagonist of the Arena Matsuri on August 20.
    A singer and song-writer, multi-instrumentalist and music producer, Elisa has scored several Platinum and Diamond certifications for her albums.
    She has also won all major Italian music awards.
    Thanks to her unmistakable voice, she has collaborated with great artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Ennio Morricone, Tina Turner, Andrea Bocelli, Dolores O'Riordan and Imagine Dragons.
    The winner of the 2001 Sanremo Song Fest with her hit song Luce (light), Elisa has also enchanted directors like Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton who wanted her for the soundtrack of their movies 'Django Unchained' and 'Dumbo' by Disney.
    The eclectic personality of Achille Lauro, an artist who is able to embrace different musical genres and eras, will close the Festival on August 21.
    Achille Lauro is one of the most iconic personalities of Italy's contemporary art scene.
    He has released seven studio albums.
    A judge on the X Factor Italy 2024 edition, he scored a record in the program's history by bringing his entire team to the final round of the competition.
    He will also be a judge in the 2025 edition of the program.
    In 2025, he participated in the Sanremo Song Festival with 'Incoscienti giovani' (reckless youths), a song that topped both radio and streaming charts and was awarded a Platinum certificate just a few weeks after its release.
    It was the third best-selling single in mid-2025 in Italy.
    The concerts are organized in cooperation with Friends & Partners and are part of the calendar of events of the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.
