Music, fun, and enchantment: a party for everyone. Castelsardo is ready to offer a fireworks New Year's Eve for the 23rd time, and not just for the traditional fireworks display from the Doria fortress that will illuminate and brighten New Year's Eve. The duo of Anna (Pepe) and J-Ax brings together three decades of music. The impressive security and safety system will allow everyone to enjoy the last night of 2025 and bid farewell to 2026. Between Piazza Nuova, where the stage has been set up, and the Via Roma area with the giant screen, there will be a capacity of 10,000 people. The artists: At 9 pm, a DJ set will heat up the square. At 10 PM, the queen of Spotify arrives, La Spezia-born rapper Anna (Pepe), who at just 22 years old has shattered records: over 15 number one spots on the FIMI singles chart, over 4 million certified copies in Italy, 43 platinum records and 9 gold records, and the Vera Baddie Tour, which sold out 10 arenas, including Rome, Milan, and Florence. A countdown to midnight will mark the start of the on-stage fireworks display from the Rocca dei Doria. It will be up to J-Ax to usher in 2026 with music (and what a rhythm!). A pioneer of Italian hip hop with Articolo 31, the Milanese artist has been on the scene since 1990, and his longevity is demonstrated by his many albums, the latest of which, "Protoromanza," was released in 2024, again as Articolo 31, and by his "invitation" to the Sanremo Festival. Collaborations with Neffa and many other artists demonstrate J-Ax's remarkable open-mindedness and musicality. The evening will be hosted by Matteo Bruni. Shuttle service.
