Long bio
Velvet Riot are an electro-pop opera duo where powerful lyrical vocals, electronic pop, fashion, dance and theatrical storytelling collide. Their sound blends contemporary production with echoes of the 80s, 90s and 2000s, creating a retro-futuristic universe that is both nostalgic and radically modern.
After becoming semi-finalists at Una Voce per San Marino — the competition that selects San Marino's Eurovision representative — Velvet Riot have continued to build an increasingly distinctive live identity. Their six-performer show combines two singers and four professional dancers, dramatic choreography, cinematic transitions, six striking costume changes, visual codes and a journey from darkness to light, from shame to freedom and celebration.
Their artistic vision combines music, fashion and performance with a strong message of liberation, individuality and diversity. Choreography by drag artist Clover Bish, known from Drag Race España, adds another layer of identity and theatricality to the show.
Velvet Riot is not simply a concert — it is a pop opera experience.
SHAMELESS — the show
SHAMELESS is Velvet Riot's theatrical live experience: a cinematic journey through three emotional states — Darkness, Desire and Awakening. Electronic pop, lyrical voices, classical influences, retro-futuristic sounds, fashion, choreography and visual storytelling come together in a show built around one central idea:
Turn pain into art. Leave shame behind. Shine.
