Afterhours is an Italian alternative rock band founded in Milan in 1985 by frontman Manuel Agnelli, who named the group after a Velvet Underground song. Albums such as Hai paura del buio? (1997) and Non è per sempre (1999) established them as one of Italy's most influential rock acts, blending alternative rock with post-punk and indie. Agnelli is also widely known as a record producer and long-running X Factor judge who mentored Måneskin.
Afterhours announces the 'Quello che non c'è - Tour 2027': 15 concerts in Europe and Italy to celebrate 40 years of career and the 25th anniversary of the album Quello che non c'è (2002).
The 'Ballate per Piccole Iene - Tour 2025', on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the album of the same name, attracts more than 100,000 visitors.
The band plays the complete album Ballate per piccole iene live in the summer of 2025, with the original line-up of the album from 2005.
Manuel Agnelli returns as a jury member at X Factor 2024 and wins the edition with his candidate Mimì Caruso.
