The Nuclear Tactical Penguins go back to basics. Before the big stages and stadium concerts, there were clubs, small rooms and the direct relationship with an audience that grew up with the band. It is in these spaces that the group has chosen to return in November with four special events, designed to recover the atmosphere of their beginnings and retrace the stages of their musical history.
The announcement comes after that of Replay, the new album expected on December 4, 2026. The live project is thus part of a transition phase for the band, which is looking at its path while preparing its next commitments. Pre-sales for club concerts open today, Monday 19 October.
Nuclear Tactical Penguins, concert dates in clubs
The mini tour will visit four venues that have had a particular meaning in the history of the group. We leave Rome on November 18th, continuing to Bologna the following day. The tour will then resume on November 24th in Turin and will end in Milan on November 25th.
The tour will start on November 18th from the Monk in Rome and will continue the following day, November 19th, at the Covo in Bologna, a particularly significant venue for the band, which achieved its first sold-out event there nine years ago. On November 24th the Pinguini Tattici Nucleari will take the stage at Spazio 211 in Turin, while on November 25th the tour will end at the Magazzini Generali in Milan.

Zanotti: "The desire to resonate in our heart places"
Explaining the meaning of the initiative is Riccardo Zanotti, who underlined the band's bond with the venues chosen for the four dates. They are spaces in which the Nuclear Tactical Penguins have performed several times and which preserve important memories, such as the first sold-out event at the Covo in Bologna, achieved nine years ago.
The title of the new album, Replay, thus also takes on a meaning linked to the live dimension. "One of the meanings we wanted to give it is the desire to "resonate" in some of our heartfelt places", explained Zanotti, describing the concerts as a warm-up in view of the 2027 events.

An hour of music to retrace the discography
The project will also have a particular feature: for the first time, the band will perform at least one song from each album in their discography, from 2020 to today, in a one-hour set. A choice that will allow us to retrace different phases of the group's musical journey, relating the songs that accompanied its growth.
The return to the clubs therefore presents itself as an opportunity to recover atmospheres and memories of the beginning, without giving up looking forward. After these four dates, attention will shift to the new album Replay and to the stadium concerts planned for 2027. The band, to make their announcement on Instagram, wrote: "Replay is an album with a tripartite soul, suspended between past, present and future. All the songs within it try to answer, in different ways, the same question: what are we? There are multiple answers. The first comes directly from the past: we are the places where we played a concert and the people we met on the This is why, for four special evenings in November, in a month's time, we will return to play in four small clubs that have marked our life as a band over the years. The setlist will include songs from all the albums, including some that we haven't played live for years, and it will be performed only for these four evenings. It will be like going back for four evenings, as if you had been there from the beginning.
