Maneskin group disbanded
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Måneskin have not been credibly confirmed as permanently disbanded; instead reporting shows a mix of solo projects, an indefinite hiatus announcement in some profiles, and contrasting items—some outlets insist the band remains active while others have described a break or even a farewell tour announcement [1] [2] [3] [4]. The clearest pattern in coverage is divergence: reputable summaries call it a pause or creative reorientation rather than an unequivocal split, while several outlets have amplified breakup language or speculative “farewell” narratives [2] [3] [4].
1. How the story unfolded in the press
After Eurovision and rapid global fame the group pursued individual projects, which sparked persistent rumors that they had split; some pieces framed the situation as an “indefinite hiatus” or “taking a break” after touring cycles [3] [5], while lifestyle and fan sites countered that the band “has not broken up” and continues to exist despite solo ventures [1] [2].
2. Solo careers vs. formal breakup — the factual divide
Multiple reports document members launching solo work—Damiano David and Victoria De Angelis in particular—and those projects have been interpreted as evidence of fragmentation by some outlets, yet other coverage emphasizes that solo activity does not equal disbandment and quotes or summaries assert the band remains intact [6] [2] [1].
3. The farewell-tour and reunion claims — conflicting timelines
Some later-sourced items portray a definitive end via a 2026 “farewell” tour announcement (a headline claiming “One Last Ride” and a 2026 farewell timetable), but that item appears in a later 2025 article and stands alongside contradictory pieces claiming reunions or world tours in 2026, indicating media inconsistency rather than a single, authoritative band statement [4] [7].
4. What the band (and their camp) have actually said — limits of available reporting
Available coverage contains summaries that members publicly reassured fans the group was “developing and not over,” and outlets reported denials that the band was finished even as they pursued side work; however, a definitive, direct quotation from a consolidated official band statement is not present across the provided sources, so conclusions rely on reportage rather than a single primary press release in this dataset [2] [6] [1].
5. Assessment — are Måneskin disbanded?
Given the sources, it is not supportable to state that Måneskin has formally disbanded: credible threads indicate hiatus-like activity and solo endeavors but also repeated refutations of a split and continued plans or rumors of future touring, which together point to a band in a phase of individual exploration rather than a confirmed permanent breakup [1] [2] [3] [6]. Where reporting differs—some outlets use “split,” others “hiatus,” and at least one claims a farewell tour—readers should treat those stronger claims cautiously because the corpus lacks a single definitive, contemporaneous band declaration in these excerpts [5] [4].
6. What to watch next and why it matters
The clearest next-day indicators will be an official statement on the band’s verified channels or confirmed tour dates/announcements via their management company; until such primary confirmation appears, continued solo releases and intermittent tour rumors will keep fueling mixed coverage and fan anxiety, and readers should expect outlets to alternate between “not broken up” and “farewell/reunion” narratives depending on new developments [7] [4].
