What solo projects and release schedules have Damiano David and Victoria De Angelis confirmed, and how do they affect the band’s timeline?
Executive summary
Damiano David and Victoria De Angelis have both launched distinct solo projects: De Angelis released a techno-flavored solo single (featuring Anitta) in August/September 2024, and David has been teasing and rolling out solo singles culminating in a full solo album scheduled for spring 2026; both artists — and multiple outlets — stress that these moves are parallel to, not the end of, Måneskin [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Those timelines mean staggered solo activity through 2024–26 while the band publicly frames this as a temporary chapter in an ongoing group career rather than a breakup [5] [4] [6].
1. Victoria De Angelis’s confirmed solo moves: what she released and what she hasn’t
Victoria De Angelis unveiled a techno-leaning solo single in late summer 2024 — released under the mononym Victoria and featuring Anitta on a track widely reported as “GET UP BITCH!” — and the press has described this as a DJ/producer direction distinct from her Måneskin bass role [1] [5] [2]. Sources note she has not yet announced an EP, album, or additional 2026 tour dates tied to that solo identity, leaving her broader solo schedule and any long-term departure from the band unconfirmed [6]. The public record therefore shows an active single release and collaborations but no formal album campaign or touring plan announced by De Angelis as of the available reporting [1] [6].
2. Damiano David’s solo rollout: singles, teasers and an album window
Damiano began teasing a solo project publicly in September 2024 with social-media trailers and a single rollout plan — several outlets reported a September single tease and an official debut single announcement — and subsequent reporting documents a string of solo singles and a planned solo album whose release window sits in spring 2026 (press teasers Sept. 2024; album dates reported for May 2026) [5] [3] [4] [7]. Coverage lists specific singles (for example, “Silverlines” and others in later reporting) and identifies producers like Labrinth on at least one collaboration, and outlets including Music-News and GRAMMY.com cite May 2026 as the solo-album month, though two sources give slightly different May dates [8] [4] [7]. The documentation therefore supports a sustained promotional arc for David that extends into mid-2026.
3. How both solo schedules interact with Måneskin’s timetable
Multiple news outlets emphasize that the members’ solo activity does not equal a split: band spokespeople and reporting frame these projects as individual detours while Måneskin remains an active entity, with the group “not done” despite solo launches [5] [9] [4]. The sequencing — De Angelis’ single in mid/late 2024 and David’s singles and album campaign running into spring 2026 — implies an extended period in which core members will prioritize individual promotion, likely compressing collective recording or touring windows for the band until after those solo campaigns are completed or paused [1] [3] [7]. Rolling Stone explicitly notes De Angelis has no announced EP/album or 2026 tour dates, which signals flexibility but also the possibility that band activity will be intermittent while solo promotion continues [6].
4. Conflicting signals, rumors and the limits of current reporting
Some outlets and less-established sources have floated reunion timetables or revenue narratives — for example one report claimed a reunion by late 2025 and contrasted financial returns between the two solo ventures — but those claims originate from a single outlet that is not corroborated elsewhere in the dataset and should be treated as speculative [10]. By contrast, reputable coverage centers on confirmed releases, teasers and stated intentions to remain a band; the clearest verifiable markers are De Angelis’ released single, David’s teased singles and the May 2026 album window reported across mainstream outlets [1] [3] [4] [7].
5. What this means for fans and the band’s future rhythm
Practically, fans can expect an extended era of individual releases, collaborations and promotion from at least late 2024 through mid-2026 that will limit continuous band output and touring, but official statements and mainstream reporting consistently deny a permanent split and portray future Måneskin activity as likely once solo cycles subside — though precise dates for reunions, tours, or a new band album remain unannounced in the available reporting [5] [4] [6]. The public narrative is therefore a negotiated one: artistic exploration now, collective return later — with the caveat that scheduling, commercial success and unforeseen factors could reshape that timeline and are not fully documented in the sources at hand [5] [6] [7].
