Electric Blue 2018–2026: a documented live history.
The original Electric Blue line-up was formed in Turin in 2018 and came to an end in May 2026. Giorgio Giardina and Elvis D’Elia were part of its musical and live history from the start. In June 2026 they founded Electric Blue Experience with Michela Gallia and Orlando Barbuto, carrying that experience into a new chapter.
Evidence first
Dates, venues, countries and independent sources.
Venue archives and event listings document Electric Blue’s concerts from 2018 onwards. The original band ended in May 2026; only later, after Electric Blue Experience had begun, did Ilaria and Aldo bring back the Electric Blue name and historic channels with other musicians. Neither current line-up is the complete original 2018–2026 band.
That history is also Giorgio and Elvis’s history. It is not borrowed from a later line-up and it is not transferred retroactively to the current EBE formation.
Independent sources
Ireland, the UK and Switzerland are documented, not decorative claims.
Cask Limerick presented Electric Blue for the 19 October 2024 show as a Turin project established in spring 2018, referencing its live experience in Northern Italy and at Hard Rock Hotels in Switzerland.

Entertainment.ie documented Irish shows at Kavanagh’s Portlaoise, Sally Long’s Galway and Sea Church Ballycotton, repeatedly connecting Electric Blue with Turin and the 2018 origin.

Acapela Studio documents the Welsh connection after the 2025 show; event archives also preserve earlier announcements, including a Cobblestone Dublin listing dated 6 June 2026. A surviving event listing should not be mistaken for evidence that the original line-up stayed together beyond May.

The current band is new. The experience is not.
In June 2026 Giorgio Giardina and Elvis D’Elia continued the music, the productions and the live experience of the original Electric Blue through Electric Blue Experience, joined by Michela Gallia and Orlando Barbuto. Giorgio’s recording and arrangement work — including Dreams – Electric Blue feat. Proclama, whose master he owns outright — is part of that history.
Electric Blue is where we come from. Experience is where we are going.
