With their raw, energetic and distorted sound, Måneskin are bringing contemporary rock'n'roll to the forefront of the world’s charts.
Twenty-year-old Victoria (bassist), Damiano (vocalist), Thomas (guitarist) and Ethan (drummer) started out as buskers performing on the streets of Rome in 2015 and, just a few years later, conquered the world, becoming one of the most popular rock bands of the new generation.
They currently hold over 3.4 billion streams in total, with more than 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. Following the great success gained by their debut album “Il ballo della vita” (which was released on October 26, 2018), the band embarked upon on a long tour across Europe and performed at the best music clubs and festivals in Italy, before releasing their now double-platinum single “VENT’ANNI” on October 30, 2020.
Måneskin won the 71st Sanremo Music Festival with their song “ZITTI E BUONI”, and then conquered the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam, winning first place and enjoying remarkable success worldwide, earning in just a few weeks several gold and platinum records in more than 15 countries.
Their second album “Teatro d’ira – Vol. I” was released on March 19, 2021 and will be followed by sold-out tours in the major European cities and at sports arenas across Italy that will kick off in 2022, as well as an event concert at the Circo Massimo in Rome in July 2022.

The single obtained gold certification in the U.S. from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on November 29. Måneskin have broken a number of unprecedented records, peaking at #1 on the Spotify Global Top 50 Chart with “Beggin’”.
