MadMan, MM Anthology Live Tour at Atlantico, January 27, 2027

MadMan brings the MM Anthology Live Tour to Rome on Wednesday, January 27, 2027 at 21:00 at Atlantico Live, at Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico 271/D (00144 Rome), in the southern part of EUR: it is the fourth of the five club dates of the tour produced and organized by Magellano Concerti, dedicated to the MM mixtape saga. On the authorized presale circuit the ticket is a single standing spot at €35, fees not included. Tickets are bought from the tour page on the Magellano Concerti website, which links to the official circuit. By public transit you take Metro line B to EUR Fermi or Laurentina, then the buses that stop on Via Cristoforo Colombo at the Colombo/Pacifico stop, less than 200 meters from the venue. For general information on the hall there is the page on Atlantico Live Club.

For a generation of Italian rap fans, MM is not just any acronym: it is the mixtape series that Pierfrancesco Botrugno, known as MadMan, started in 2013 and carried on for more than 10 years, up to MM Vol. 5, released in May 2026. The MM Anthology Live Tour promises to bring to the stage the entire universe of that saga, from the origins to the latest chapter, in the setting that according to the press release has always been his: the clubs. No filter, no distance.

MM Anthology Live Tour: what you will hear

The MM Anthology Live Tour is presented as the definitive celebration of the MM saga, begun in 2013: a journey through the songs that built the legend of MadMan's mixtapes, from the origins to the latest chapter.

An anthology setlist

According to the press release, the setlist is built to cross years of rhymes, interlocking wordplay, freestyle, classics and new tracks, bringing back to the stage the purest essence of MadMan's artistic path. The actual setlist has not been published.

MM Vol. 5 live

The concerts are the chance to hear the songs of MM Vol. 5 live, released on May 29, 2026 on the label of Guè Pequeno and DJ Harsh with Island Records and Universal Music Italia. The record features, among others, Nello Taver on That's A Lot, Gemitaiz on Every Day, and then Joshua, Fabri Fibra, Vegas Jones, nayt, Johnny Marsiglia, Toni Zeno and Nitro.

Just bars and energy

The press release describes MadMan as one of the most technical and recognized lyricists on the scene and insists on the live dimension: technique, impact and stage presence, for those who know every bar by heart and for those who want to experience up close the force of one of the most influential pens in Italian rap.

The MM saga, volume by volume

The MM saga is the series of mixtapes that MadMan has been releasing since 2013: five volumes, some distributed for free, which have marked his whole career alongside the official albums.

MM Vol. 1, 2013

On June 28, 2013 MadMan made MM Vol. 1, 18 tracks, available free on his own website. The single Come ti fa Mad was taken from it, released by the label of Guè Pequeno and DJ Harsh, with which the rapper signed a contract on September 25 of the same year.

MM Vol. 2, 2016

On October 27, 2016 MM Vol. 2 came out, again as a free download, 16 tracks, preceded by the video for Bolla papale. The mixtape was certified platinum in 2019. Bolla papale earned a gold record and Veleno 6, with Gemitaiz and the producer MixerT, triple platinum.

MM Vol. 3, 2019

A year after the album Back Home came MM Vol. 3, promoted by the singles 7/8 Sour and Supernova. The opening track, R8, is certified gold.

MM Vol. 4, 2021

MM Vol. 4 came out on November 12, 2021. On the last track, Chillin' Rmx, the streamer Zano takes part.

MM Vol. 5, 2026

MM Vol. 5, the most recent chapter, came out on May 29, 2026, with a long list of guests from the Italian scene. The winter 2027 tour grows out of it.

The MadMan songs to review before the concert

The setlist of the MM Anthology Live Tour has not been published, but MadMan's career offers a list of certified songs loved by the audience that it is reasonable to review before the evening.

From the mixtapes

From MM Vol. 2 come Bolla papale, gold, and Veleno 6, with Gemitaiz and MixerT, certified triple platinum. From MM Vol. 3, R8, the opening track, gold, and the singles 7/8 Sour and Supernova. From MM Vol. 1 the single Come ti fa Mad.

From Back Home

Trapano and Centro, the latter with Coez, are both certified platinum. Salsa and Storie earned gold.

With Gemitaiz

Veleno VII, double platinum in 2024, and from the album Scatola nera Karate and Fuori e dentro, platinum records, with Scatola nera, Esagono and Fiori, gold records. From the first joint album, Kepler, Non se ne parla and Haterproof 2.

From Lonewolf and MM Vol. 5

Plenilunio, the comeback single in 2024, and from the latest mixtape That's A Lot with Nello Taver and Every Day with Gemitaiz: these are the most recent songs, the ones the press release points to as the novelty to finally hear live.

Who is MadMan

MadMan, the stage name of Pierfrancesco Botrugno, born in Grottaglie on July 25, 1988, is an Italian rapper. He has released four solo albums, two albums with Gemitaiz and five mixtapes of the MM series.

Freestyle and the beginnings

He entered the world of hip hop in 2006 by taking part in Tecniche Perfette, a well-known freestyle competition, in the Puglia selection. In 2007 he debuted with the self-produced mixtape Riscatto, followed by Prequel and, in 2008, R.I.P. In 2010 he released the debut album Escape from Heart, distributed for free by Honiro Label.

With Gemitaiz

From 2011 begins the collaboration with Gemitaiz: the mixtape Haterproof in 2011, the EP Detto, fatto. in 2012 and, on May 24, 2014, the album Kepler, which debuted at number one on the Italian chart and was certified gold. In 2019 the two released Veleno VII, number one on the singles chart and a record for daily streams on Spotify Italy, and the album Scatola nera, with Thasup, Giorgia, Salmo, Marracash, Guè, Mahmood, Venerus and Priestess, later double platinum.

The solo albums

On September 11, 2015 Doppelganger came out, on the same label with Universal distribution. On February 2, 2018 came Back Home, platinum, with the singles Trapano and Centro, with Coez, both certified platinum. On May 31, 2024 he released Lonewolf, 14 tracks with Gemitaiz, Thasup, Jake La Furia, Naska, Rik Rox and Mattaman.

Collaborations

Among the outside collaborations are O.K. Corral with Nitro, on the album No Comment, and a track with Enigma on the album Shardana.

Why a club tour: MadMan's choice

The MM Anthology Live Tour is a clubs-only tour, five dates: a choice that the press release presents as a return to the setting that has always belonged to MadMan.

No filter, no distance

The press release's formula is sharp: no filter, no distance, only bars, energy and direct contact with the audience. In a club the stage is low, the audience stands a few meters away, and a technical rapper can measure in real time the hall's reaction to every interlocking line.

The saga's audience

The MM saga has built a loyal audience, grown up with mixtapes often distributed for free and with singles certified over the years. The tour is addressed first of all to that audience, the one that knows every bar by heart, and then to those who want to discover live, according to the press release, one of the most influential pens in Italian rap.

Five cities

Milan, Florence, Padua, Rome, Naples: a short tour, concentrated in 10 days of January. For the audience of central and southern Italy the Rome date on the 27th and the Naples one on the 28th are the only chances.

A curiosity about MadMan, MM Anthology Live Tour at Atlantico, January 27, 2027

The most telling curiosity is about distribution. For many years MadMan released the best of his output for free: the debut album Escape from Heart in 2010, MM Vol. 1 in 2013 from his own website, MM Vol. 2 in 2016 as a free download. Yet MM Vol. 2 became platinum in 2019. A mixtape given away that turns into a certified record: it is the story of an audience formed outside the traditional channels, and which today fills the clubs.

The second curiosity is the record. In June 2019 Veleno VII, the single with Gemitaiz, debuted at the top of the singles chart and broke the record for daily streams on Spotify Italy. For a technical rap track, without choruses built for radio, it is a result that in our opinion says a lot about the strength of the duo.

The third is about the pause. After the single Lava Freestyle in 2022, MadMan had disappeared from the scene for about two years, until the comeback with Plenilunio and the album Lonewolf in 2024. The title of that record, lone wolf, and then the collective return of MM Vol. 5, with many guests, tell of two opposite phases of the same career.

The fourth is about the calendar. The Rome date falls on a Wednesday, in the middle of the tour: the day after, MadMan is in Naples. Rome is the second-to-last chance to see the show, and the last for central Italy.

Atlantico Live, the tour's hall in Rome

Atlantico Live is at Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico 271/D, in Municipio IX, a few meters from Via Cristoforo Colombo and about 300 meters from the Euroma2 shopping center.

Where exactly it is

Number 271 houses several businesses. The venue is at 271/D. The simplest landmark is the intersection of Viale dell'Oceano Atlantico and Via Colombo, the great artery that runs from the center toward the sea. On the other side of Via Colombo runs Viale dell'Oceano Pacifico, with Euroma2.

The right hall for a club tour

Atlantico is one of the Rome halls where artists pass through who have an audience too big for a small venue and too defined for an arena. For a tour that claims the club setting, with a standing audience and the stage close, it is the consistent choice.

Rap at Atlantico

The hall's program makes room for rap and urban music: among the other artists who have played or are expected at Atlantico are Artie 5ive, 22Simba and Sayf. If you know the hall from one of these concerts, you already know how to get around.

Standing, near the stage

With the single standing spot there are no sectors or numbers: you choose your position in the hall on arrival. If you want the front rows you have to line up early. If you prefer the best sound and a bit of space, settle in the middle of the hall, near the sound engineer's desk.

One thing nobody tells you about MadMan, MM Anthology Live Tour at Atlantico, January 27, 2027

What few say is that a MadMan concert is a concert of words. The press release talks about bars, interlocking wordplay, freestyle: the value of the show is in the technique of writing and meter, and the audience that follows him knows the lyrics by heart. If you arrive without knowing the mixtapes you will feel the energy, but you will miss half the game. Reviewing at least MM Vol. 2 and MM Vol. 5 before going in changes the evening.

The second thing is about the day. It is a Wednesday evening, in a club in southern EUR, with a start at 21:00. If you work or study the next day, the ride home should be planned before going in: in the evening the avenues around Atlantico are wide and little frequented on foot, and Via Colombo is a fast artery to cross only at the crosswalk with the light.

The third thing is about guests. MM Vol. 5 and MadMan's career are full of collaborations, starting with Gemitaiz. The tour announces no guests for the Rome date: those hoping for a surprise can hope, but nothing is communicated on the official pages.

The advice I give you for visiting MadMan, MM Anthology Live Tour at Atlantico, January 27, 2027

The first piece of advice is about your position in the hall. For a rap concert where understanding every word matters, the area in the middle of the hall, near the sound engineer's desk, offers the most balanced sound. Under the stage you see better, but the voice gets lost in the audience's chorus.

The second is to review the classics. Bolla papale, R8, Centro, Trapano, Veleno VII: these are the songs the audience will sing, and arriving with the lyrics in your head turns the concert into a collective experience.

The third: silicone earplugs, the kind for musicians. In a club with loud bass for an hour and a half, they protect your hearing without taking away the music.

Last: organize the ride home before going in. After midnight, on a Wednesday, finding a taxi in southern EUR is not immediate. It is best to set a time and a meeting point with whoever came along, and to check the last run of Metro line B.

How to get to Atlantico Live

You get to Atlantico Live by Metro line B to EUR Fermi or Laurentina and then by bus to Colombo/Pacifico, less than 200 meters from the venue. By car, from Via Cristoforo Colombo.

By metro

The nearest line B stations are EUR Fermi, on Viale America, and Laurentina, the terminus. Both are between 1.5 and 2 kilometers from the venue: on foot, in the evening, it is a long way. Better the metro to one of the two and then the bus.

By bus

The nearest stop is Colombo/Pacifico, on Via Cristoforo Colombo. Oceano Atlantico/Colombo is a few hundred meters away. Line numbers and evening schedules should be checked the same day on the Atac route planner.

By car

Via Colombo passes a little over 100 meters from the venue and is the natural route from the center or from the Grande Raccordo Anulare. In the area there are street-level lots, some public, others reserved for businesses and with limited hours: it is best to read the signs. Alternatively there is the Laurentina park-and-ride, multi-level and paid.

The ride home

A concert that starts at 21:00 on a Wednesday ends late: before going in it is best to check the last run of Metro line B and the night lines. A shared taxi to the metro or to home is often the simplest solution.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

It is well known that MadMan and Gemitaiz are one of the most solid duos in Italian rap. It is mentioned less that their first album together, Kepler, in 2014, debuted at number one on the Italian album chart and earned a gold record for more than 25,000 copies sold. From there came Scatola nera, the Veleno tracks, the crossed guest appearances that reach all the way to MM Vol. 5.

The second little-mentioned fact is about the label. Since 2013 MadMan has recorded for the label founded by Guè Pequeno and DJ Harsh: the contract came on September 25 of that year, a few months after the first MM volume. The saga and the label were born almost together, and MM Vol. 5 still comes out under the same brand.

The third fact is about the origins. MadMan is from Grottaglie, in Puglia, and entered hip hop through freestyle, at Tecniche Perfette, in 2006. 20 years later, the tour press release still claims freestyle as part of the setlist: the starting point and the finishing point coincide.

The right photo to take at MadMan, MM Anthology Live Tour at Atlantico, January 27, 2027

The right photo at a MadMan concert is not the close-up of the rapper: the official photographers will do it better than any phone. It is the hall rapping. The audience from behind, hands raised, the stage at the back cut by the lights, at the moment a classic like Bolla papale starts. It is the image that really tells a club night.

To get it, stand slightly raised, at the back or on the sides of the hall, and wait for the best-known songs. No flash: in a club it flattens the scene and bothers those in front.

Outside, before going in, the Atlantico sign with the line of people waiting is the souvenir shot for those who came together. Then the phone in your pocket: bars are to be listened to, not filmed.

Those who love urban photography will find an unexpected subject in the avenues of southern EUR in the evening, wide and lit, with the names of twentieth-century writers on the street signs around the venue: Pavese, Silone, Morante, Ungaretti. A Via Cesare Pavese sign photographed on the night of a rap concert is a small short circuit of words.

Some important events that took place here in history

The history of this corner of Rome is recent, and can be read in the buildings and in the street names. Atlantico Live is at the southern edge of EUR, the district named after the Universal Exposition of Rome, designed at the end of the 1930s and never held because of the war.

The first event to recall is the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, dated 1940, designed by Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto La Padula and Mario Romano, symbol of the district, about 2.5 kilometers from the venue. The second concerns Romans' entertainment: in 1953 the EUR Luna Park opened, closed on April 20, 2008 and reopened on October 27, 2016 as LunEur Park. The third is the protection of green space, with the Laurentino Acqua Acetosa Reserve established in 1997.

For MadMan the timeline is dense. In 2006 Tecniche Perfette. In 2010 Escape from Heart. In 2013 MM Vol. 1 and the first record deal. In 2014 Kepler. In 2015 Doppelganger. In 2016 MM Vol. 2. In 2018 Back Home. In 2019 MM Vol. 3, Veleno VII and Scatola nera. In 2021 MM Vol. 4. In 2024 Lonewolf. In 2026 MM Vol. 5. On January 27, 2027, at Atlantico, the Rome stop of the MM Anthology Live Tour.

Who has played at MadMan, MM Anthology Live Tour at Atlantico, January 27, 2027

On the Atlantico stage, on January 27, goes Pierfrancesco Botrugno, known as MadMan. Any openers or guests are not communicated on the tour's official pages.

Behind his name, though, there is a long line of colleagues who have marked his career: Gemitaiz first of all, and then Coez on Centro, Nitro, Enigma, Jake La Furia, Naska, Thasup, Guè, and the guests of MM Vol. 5, from Fabri Fibra to Vegas Jones, from Joshua to nayt, from Johnny Marsiglia to Toni Zeno and Nello Taver.

At Atlantico, in the same season, other names of Italian music play: Litfiba on December 2, 2026, Ariete with her club tour, Willie Peyote and Aiello. Lined up, the program tells what Atlantico is today: the hall where Rome listens to Italian music before and after the arenas.

The district around Atlantico: Fonte Ostiense, Torrino, EUR

Atlantico Live is in the southern quadrant of Municipio IX, where Fonte Ostiense, Torrino and EUR meet along Via Cristoforo Colombo.

The writers' streets

The streets around the venue carry the names of twentieth-century writers: Viale Cesare Pavese, Viale Ignazio Silone, Piazzale Elsa Morante, Largo Giuseppe Ungaretti, Via Carlo Emilio Gadda, Via Salvatore Quasimodo. An anthology of poets and novelists around a hall where an anthology of rhymes is celebrated.

EUR and green space

To the north begins EUR proper, described in the page on what to see in EUR, with the Palazzo dello Sport a little over a kilometer away. A bit farther, the Tre Fontane Abbey recalls that this area is not made only of the twentieth century.

Accessibility, age and practical tips

For information on the accessibility of Atlantico Live and on seats reserved for people with disabilities, it is best to contact the organization before the evening, at the contacts given on the tour's official website.

Getting there without barriers

The Metro line B stations of EUR Fermi and Laurentina are listed as wheelchair accessible, and the Laurentina park-and-ride has reserved spaces. The last stretch should be planned: in the evening an equipped taxi is more reliable than a bus.

Age and minors

Any age limits and rules for minors are set by the organization and should be read in the ticket conditions. A standing concert in a club, with loud volume and ending late on a weekday evening, is not designed for the youngest.

What to bring

An ID, the ticket on a charged phone, a power bank, earplugs, a jacket for waiting outdoors on a January evening. Small bags: in clubs the rules on backpacks and bulky items are often restrictive.

How to plan MadMan's Wednesday evening

With a start at 21:00 on a Wednesday, in southern EUR, MadMan's evening should be organized around two points: the arrival by public transit and the ride home after midnight.

Arrival

If you come from the center, take Metro line B toward Laurentina and get off at EUR Fermi or at the terminus, then a bus to Via Colombo. It is best to leave with a margin, because the last stretch on the surface has sparser evening frequencies.

Waiting

In clubs the line forms before the doors open. In late January the evening is cold: a warm jacket and a hat make the wait more bearable, even though inside the hall it is hot and the coat check, if there is one, has its own line.

Getting home

Before going in it is best to check on the Atac route planner the last run of Metro line B and the night lines in the area. For those who live far away, a shared taxi to the metro or to home is the simplest solution. Those who come by car should check the closing hours of the parking they choose.

The next day

For those coming from outside Rome who leave the following day, sleeping in the EUR area or near Metro line B avoids long trips in the middle of the night.

Where to eat before the concert

Around Atlantico Live the offer is that of a suburban commercial area: the Euroma2 shopping center, about 300 meters away, and neighborhood places along the nearby avenues.

Before the concert

The advice is to have dinner at least an hour before the doors open, something simple. If you come from the center you can have dinner along the way, in EUR, and cover the last stretch by bus.

After the concert

On a Wednesday, after 23:00, few kitchens are open in the area, and the evening hours of the Euroma2 venues vary: better not to count on a post-concert meal.
