ALCANTARA ANNOUNCE NEW LIVE ALBUM “IN CONCERT” – OUT JUNE 19, 2026 VIA OSKAR RECORDS
A powerful live capturing the entirety of “Tamam Shud” alongside highlights from the acclaimed debut “Solitaire”
One year after the release of their deeply immersive progressive rock masterpiece “Tamam Shud”, Sicilian band Alcantara return with “In Concert”, a stunning live album scheduled for release on June 19, 2026 through Oskar Records on CD, digital platforms and streaming services.
“Tamam Shud” was released on June 6, 2025, and remains one of the most rewarding modern progressive rock releases of recent years. Originally released on vinyl and now available on CD through Oskar Records, the album established Alcantara as one of Italy’s most compelling contemporary progressive acts.
Blending progressive rock, psychedelia and blues, “Tamam Shud” unfolds gradually, revealing its depths through repeated listening. Drawing comparisons to Pink Floyd and Riverside while maintaining a distinctive identity of its own, the album is driven by the expressive vocals of Sergio Manfredi Sallicano, whose performances in both Italian and English create an atmosphere that is equally intimate and cinematic.
The album’s title derives from a Persian phrase meaning “it is finished,” though the music suggests not finality but transformation: the closing of one chapter and the uncertain promise of the next. It is an album that rewards patience, inviting listeners into a rich internal landscape of imagery, emotion and space.
As the band explains:
“Tamam Shud is a psychedelic, twilight journey: liquid guitars, hypnotic grooves, and suspended vocals that turn into a slow, cosmic, contemplative vertigo.”

With “In Concert”, Alcantara bring this material to life in its most natural environment: the stage.
Recorded in front of an attentive audience, the album presents the complete performance of “Tamam Shud” together with selected highlights from the band’s acclaimed 2019 debut “Solitaire”. Rather than simply reproducing the studio recordings, the live setting allows the songs to breathe and evolve, emphasizing the band’s mastery of dynamics, atmosphere and emotional pacing.
The gradual crescendos, expansive arrangements and hypnotic textures that define “Tamam Shud” become even more immersive in concert. Meanwhile, the inclusion of material from “Solitaire“ offers a broader perspective on the band’s artistic development, demonstrating the consistency of their vision across both albums.
The band comments:
“Full live performance of Alcantara entirely playing their new hypnotic record Tamam Shud plus the best from the previous Pink Floyd-esque Solitaire.”
“In Concert” captures Alcantara at a pivotal moment in their evolution: confident in their artistic direction, fearless in presenting a complete conceptual work live, and increasingly recognised as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Italian progressive rock.
