Turin Concerts in October 2026: Every Date, Venue and Tip for a Music Weekend in Piedmont

Some cities are best seen by day. Turin in October is a city to be out in at night: the crowd spilling onto via Madama Cristina before the Teatro Colosseo dims its lights, the long, patient queues outside the arena on corso Sebastopoli, the walk home through San Salvario with a chorus still stuck in your head.

This year the month is unusually packed. In three weeks Turin hosts the 60th-anniversary tour of Pooh, Laura Pausini's new world tour, Brunori Sas's evening of songs and monologues, Fiorella Mannoia's tribute to De André and Fossati, and Francesco Renga to close the month. Several of these artists are household names in Italy and less known abroad, which is exactly why a night at one of these shows is such a local experience.

Below you'll find every date, checked against official ticket channels, plus practical tips on the venues and on turning a concert into a long weekend that takes in the Langhe wine hills during Alba's White Truffle Fair.

The three stages that matter

Inalpi Arena (corso Sebastopoli 123) is the former Pala Alpitour, the ice-hockey arena of the 2006 Winter Olympics, and the venue for the biggest crowds. Pooh and Laura Pausini each play two nights here.

Teatro Colosseo (via Madama Cristina 71) sits in San Salvario, Turin's liveliest dining neighbourhood, about ten minutes' walk from Porta Nuova station. It's the busiest stage of the month.

Auditorium Giovanni Agnelli at the Lingotto (via Nizza 280) is the concert hall Renzo Piano designed inside the old Fiat factory, built for listening. Brunori Sas performs here.

10–11 October: Pooh and Nomadi

Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October, Pooh bring POOH 60 – La nostra storia to the Inalpi Arena, celebrating six decades of one of Italy's best-selling bands, with Roby Facchinetti, Dodi Battaglia, Red Canzian and Riccardo Fogli on stage. Fans take note: the setlist differs between the two Turin nights.

The same Saturday at 8:30 pm, the folk-rock veterans Nomadi play the Teatro Colosseo for the thirteenth time with Cartoline da qui, a show spanning more than sixty years of songs. Expect three generations of one family in the same row.

Coming from abroad? This is the ideal weekend to pair music with the Langhe. On Saturday 10 October the 96th International Alba White Truffle Fair opens, about an hour's drive from Turin: truffle market in the morning, concert at night.

13–15 October: Sal Da Vinci and Brunori Sas

• Sal Da Vinci – Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 October, 8:30 pm, Teatro Colosseo. The Neapolitan singer's first theatre tour since winning the 2026 Sanremo Festival with Per sempre sì. Tickets from €38 plus fees.

• Brunori Sas – Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, 9:00 pm, Lingotto Auditorium. TUTTOBRUNORI mixes his best-loved songs with spoken stories and reflections, backed by his long-time band. Funny and moving in equal measure, if your Italian is up to it.

17–18 October: Laura Pausini at the Inalpi Arena

Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, 9:00 pm (doors 7:00 pm). Laura Pausini, the Italian voice with a Grammy on her shelf and one of the few Italian artists to have headlined Madison Square Garden, brings the Io Canto World Tour 2026/2027 to Turin. The tour accompanies Io Canto 2, released twenty years after the original album. With a full arena, arrive early.

Same weekend, same easy pairing: Alba's old town hosts the Baccanale dei Borghi, a medieval festival with street food and traditional games, while the Truffle Fair is open Saturday and Sunday.

Monday 19 October: Mr. Rain goes acoustic

Monday 19 October, 8:30 pm, Teatro Colosseo. For the first time, the pop-rap singer chooses theatres over open-air stages, with a more intimate show built around his lyrics.

Saturday 24 October: the music of Hans Zimmer

Saturday 24 October, 8:30 pm, Teatro Colosseo. To be clear, since listings can be misleading: Hans Zimmer himself is not performing. This is a tribute by the Ensemble Symphony Orchestra, around fifty musicians conducted by Giacomo Loprieno, playing scores from The Lion King, Interstellar, Inception and Pirates of the Caribbean. No Italian needed, which makes it a good pick for international visitors.

It falls during Buonissima (21–25 October), Turin's fine-dining festival: a good excuse for a special dinner before the show.

28–31 October: Mannoia, Frassica and Renga

Three closing nights at the Colosseo, all starting at 8:30 pm.

• Fiorella Mannoia – Wednesday 28 October. Fiorella canta Fabrizio e Ivano: Anime Salve marks thirty years since Anime Salve, Fabrizio De André's last album, written with Ivano Fossati. One of the great voices of Italian songwriting, singing two of its greatest writers.

• Nino Frassica & Los Plaggers Band – Friday 30 October. Half concert, half comedy: over a hundred well-known songs taken apart and rebuilt for laughs. This is the rescheduled date of an April show; existing tickets remain valid. Tickets €35–56 plus fees.

• Francesco Renga – Saturday 31 October. The Live Teatri 2026 tour reaches Turin. Best seats €79, upper gallery from €49.

It's also the weekend of Artissima and C2C Festival, with the All Saints' holiday on 1 November. Turin fills up, and so does accommodation.

Practical tips

• Buy from official channels only (TicketOne, the ticketing partners named by the promoter, or the Colosseo box office). Resale sites often charge double for the same seats.

• Inalpi Arena: on sold-out nights corso Sebastopoli jams before and after the show. Public transport (GTT) or a taxi beats circling for parking.

• Teatro Colosseo: San Salvario is the place for a pre-show dinner, from traditional Piedmontese osterie to casual wine bars. Book ahead on Fridays and Saturdays.

• Lingotto: the Lingotto metro stop is a short walk from the auditorium, handy for getting back to the centre.

• Double dates: if one night shows as sold out, check the other on the official site before turning to resellers.

Stay close to the stage

The best part of a concert in the city is walking out without checking the time: a last glass in San Salvario, a stroll toward the Po, then bed, no train to catch.

FAQ

Is Hans Zimmer performing live in Turin in October 2026?

No. On 24 October at the Teatro Colosseo, the Ensemble Symphony Orchestra conducted by Giacomo Loprieno performs a tribute to his film scores. The composer is not on stage.

How do I get to the Inalpi Arena from central Turin?

The arena is at corso Sebastopoli 123, near the Olympic Stadium. On concert nights, GTT public transport or a taxi is the easiest option, as traffic and parking around the venue get difficult before and after the show.

Can I combine a Turin concert with the Alba White Truffle Fair?

Yes. Alba is about an hour's drive away and the Fair runs on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 October to 6 December. The Pooh weekend (10–11 October) and the Laura Pausini weekend (17–18 October) work particularly well: a day in the Langhe, an evening at the show.

When should I book accommodation for October concerts in Turin?

As early as possible for the double-date weekends at the Inalpi Arena and for the All Saints' long weekend (30 October – 1 November), when Renga, Frassica, Artissima and C2C Festival all land in the city at once.
