The Black Eyed Peas are back in Italy: the iconic musical group winner of 6 Grammy Awards and 35 million albums sold will be in Italy for four summer dates, produced and distributed by Vivo Concerti, on the stages of the main Italian festivals in the months of July and August 2023.

The group has been dictating the rhythm of pop culture by merging hybrid influences of hip-hop, pop and electronica since 1995, and has recorded songs destined to remain in the history of contemporary music such as “Let’s Get It Started” and “I Gotta Feelings”. Their eighth studio album “Translation”, certified PLATINUM in Italy, achieved international success in 2020 also thanks to collaborations with artists such as J Balvin, Ozuna, Maluma, Shakira, Nicky Jam and Tyga.

Zona and J.Rey Soul (3X Platinum and Top 5 of Radio Airplay in Italy), and “Girl Like Me” feat. Shakira (certified GOLD in Italy and “Best Latin” at the MTV EMAs), obtaining numerous awards globally. The single “Hit It”, in collaboration with Saweetie and Lele Pons, has about 50 million streams, 50 million views on YouTube, and reached the Top 50 of the Italian radio Airplay.
In 2022 the group reunites with Shakira and David Guetta for “Don’t You Worry” (PLATINUM in Italy and Top 3 of radio Airplay) the first single of the ninth studio album “Elevation”, quickly followed by the collaboration between Anita and El Alfa “Simply The Best”, which opened another brilliant chapter in history and reached the TOP 10 of Radio Airplay in Italy.
