Marco Mengoni Debuts as Creative Director of Smartphone-Free Club Allo Sbagliato in Milan
Allo Sbagliato, a unique smartphone-free club experience led by Marco Mengoni, will take place at the former Teatro Principe in Milan from 5 November to 19 December 2026. This event will feature 26 performances—15 in November and 11 in December—catering to 500 guests each evening. Mengoni will engage with the audience while presenting a varied setlist. Among the additional acts are Mace, Benjamin Clementine, and Nuzzo e Di Biase. To encourage personal interaction, attendees’ phones will be stored in sealed pouches. The venue, which opened its doors in 1925, has a rich legacy as both a boxing arena and a cinema. Ticket prices range from €115 to €230. Mengoni, who won X Factor in 2009 and the Sanremo Festival in 2013 and 2023, will debut his single Giornate perse on 11 October.
