FRANCESCO MARRAS ANNOUNCES 2026 TOUR ACROSS GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND FEATURING SONGS FROM “IT’S ME!” AND “OUT OF THE FIRE”
Italian guitarist and songwriter Francesco Marras, internationally known for being a member of the legendary NWOBHM band Tygers of Pan Tang from 2020 to 2025, has officially announced the dates for his 2026 tour, which will bring his music to stages across Germany and Switzerland.
During the shows, Marras will perform songs from his latest two solo albums, “It’s Me!” and “Out of the Fire”, records that further established his artistic identity within the European hard rock and heavy metal scene.
Marras’ sound is a powerful blend of Hard & Heavy, combining energy, technical guitar work and memorable melodies. His music draws inspiration from the most authentic traditions of the genre while maintaining a modern approach, appealing both to longtime fans of classic rock and to new generations of listeners.
For these concerts, Marras will be joined by an international line-up of experienced musicians.
