I remember that in the 2000s they were huge with "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" and then they had a break. Does anyone know if they actually broke up or if they still do concerts? I was curious to listen to them again.
They didn't exactly break up, it's a bit more complicated than that. Eiffel 65 had this crazy rise in the 90s and early 2000s with "Blue" becoming a worldwide earworm, but then the music scene changed drastically. The eurodance/europop genre wasn't moving the numbers like it used to, and the group really slowed down on releasing new music. But they never officially broke up, they just went their separate ways.
In recent years they've done sporadic concerts and reunions here and there, mainly at summer festivals or for nostalgia trips back to the 90s. The thing is the band kind of fragmented: Massimo Gabutti keeps doing projects tied to the Eiffel 65 name, while the other members have done other stuff. It's not the same energy as when they were constantly producing music, but it's not a complete breakup either like what happened to a lot of other bands from that era. If you search online you can still find info on occasional dates, though honestly at this point they're more like nostalgia leftovers than actual tours with new material.
Eiffel 65 had a substantial break but never officially disbanded. What happened is that after the worldwide peak of "Blue" around 2000, the band started to splinter: Maurizio Lobina and Jeffrey Jey continued with different projects, while Massimo Gabutti gradually stepped away. The dynamic was more of a gradual dissolution than an official breakup announcement, which created confusion about what was actually happening to the group.
The important thing to know is that they were never completely inactive. They did sporadic reunions and concerts here and there over the years, especially for summer festivals or nostalgic 2000s events. In recent years they've also made some appearances together, so if you want to catch them live, it's worth keeping an eye on tour announcements and summer dates, where they pop up pretty often.
If you think they've disappeared forever because you don't hear about them in current media, that's the real trap: they're no longer riding the wave of mainstream music, so they have less visibility. But that doesn't mean they're not doing anything anymore. It's worth checking their social media channels if you're curious to re-listen to the original tracks or find out what they're up to these days.
