After the mini-live Barbaro tour they publish Se mi rilasso... collasso, a live that contains the studio version of Manifesto, another piece of immediate success.
In 2006 it was the turn of the Fuori Orario collection, a double CD also containing unreleased tracks which still hits the FIMI top ten (and takes first place in the charts of independent sales outlets).
After the release of Scaccianuvole (2011) there is a 3-year break before arriving at the unreleased album entitled L'improbabile which marks their return to a major label since Initiali Bì-Bì (this time with Warner) and the keyboardist Federico “Pacio” Pacini joined the line-up.
In the meantime, the band created the soundtrack for the film "L'Universale", by Federico Micali, which was released in theaters in April 2016 while Sky Arte dedicated a docufilm to them entitled "Bandabardò, un mistero italiano", with Carlo Lucarelli.
After another European tour with stops in London, Dublin, Amsterdam and Berlin, in 2018 a new version of Beppeanna entitled Se mi rilasso collasso was released on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the birth of the band.
On January 28, 2000, the third album, Mojito Football Club, was released on the BMG Ricordi label, appreciated both by critics, thanks to its acoustic sounds but with a small tendency towards electronics and rock, and by last-minute fans , but not by those who followed them from the beginning for their change of style.
At that point the band split into three parts, on one side there was Erriquez who wanted to stay in Mescal while on the other there were Finaz, Nuto and Paolino who wanted to go back to OTR instead, and finally Don Bachi and Orla didn't they had a precise position, thus creating a strong commotion and furious quarrels among the band members, even Finaz thought of abandoning the group.
produced by Gianluca Vaccaro, his single Sette sono i re is broadcast on RaiStereoDue, obtains international success with a European tour in Spain, France and Switzerland.
It has a different style from the previous ones, a genre tending towards light rock and sees the collaboration with Max Gazzè; is highly praised by both fans and critics as it is considered the most elaborate and complex album of their career.
September 1st 2006 marks the recording comeback of the Florentine band with the collection Fuori Orario which, surprisingly, receives excellent feedback: first in the charts of independent outlets and seventh in the large chains, after listening to a concert by the Band during one of his trips European, Mutsumi Kuboutchi, artistic director of Vivid Sound, one of the major Japanese independent labels, becomes a fan of the bandabardò and decides to publish their records and the collection Fuori Orario in Japan as well (the publication of the other albums will soon follow), but they will also be released in Canada.
The album includes a CD of 14 tracks and a DVD, in which Bandabardò tells the story of the birth of the project, backstage, special guests, writing and finishing the lyrics and music to then get to the realization of the disc.
In 2008 the Ottavio in Tour starts, thanks to a theatrical concept album the band will be able to perform in theaters in Rome, Naples, Florence and Bologna, with them there will be Clemente Ferrari on keyboards and accordion.
On April 29, 2010, Allegro ma non troppo was released, a special album for the magazine La Repubblica XL with a couple of unreleased songs, reinterpretations (made with Goran Bregović) and live.
The novelty is that unlike other years and the independent spirit of the band, this time the record had been licensed to Universal Music Group, despite this it was the least promoted and least sold album in the entire history of the band, according to the itself this was a hurried album, a real misstep, both due to the absence of Ramon (who played with Daniele Silvestri at that time) and due to the not exactly happy historical period at the musical level (at the arrival of the streaming and piracy) and political.
From there the Scaccianuvole Tour starts, concluded in 2012, in the summer period the bandabardò does not have Ramon with it, but two temporary components are added on stage, Alberto Becucci on the accordion and Rocco Brunori on trumpet and percussion, who will give the band a more francophone.
The winter period, on the other hand, is marked by the return of Ramon and the desire to add a keyboardist to the group, Federico Pacini, pianist from Quarrata, who had already played in the past with Orla and Nuto, so he is contacted by Finaz and becomes an official member of the band , known by the stage name of Pacio.
Don Bachi instead enters the Mozait with which they create their first album Pure Water, Orla instead writes the book The Rolling Stones (Futura editor, 2013) together with his friend Luca Remagi.
Unlike the previous albums, this one deviates from the typical sound of the band, thus going to look for new styles, texts with phrases said in everyday life, on the street, among books, in the midst of interviews, according to the singer and guitarist year off was like opening the window in a room that smelled stale.
In 2018 the bandabardò celebrates 25 years of activity, and it does so with the 25th Tour which started on 9 June 2018 in Bruno (Bs), among the wishes of many artists and concerts in places such as the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome.
On 29 June 2018 a new version of Beppeanna was released, entitled Se mi rilasso collasso, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the birth of the band, the song sees the participation of Stefano Bollani, Caparezza, Carmen Consoli, Daniele Silvestri and Max Gazzè.
On 7 December 2018 at the Nelson Mandela Forum, the band celebrates its twenty-five years with a great concert full of guests: Max Gazzè, Carmen Consoli, Tonino Carotone, Modena City Ramblers with Cisco and Piero Pelù.

Shortly after Erriquez's death, Finaz was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine where he told the story of the bandabardo and his experience with the poet, also confirming that the band has no intention of breaking up.
Rolling Stone itself has dedicated an article to the band and to Erriquez, where it is told why they have been so appreciated (and defining them with the potential of hand grenades for live performances).
A year after Erriquez's death, the band communicates its intention to continue its activity by announcing a collaboration with Cisco (former singer of the Modena City Ramblers) on its social networks.
The band and Cisco performed throughout Italy inviting various guests such as Gerardo Carmine Gargiulo, Daniele Silvestri and Enzo Iacchetti, also performing in Milan at the Radio Popolare event, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, making a large gathering of the Fan Club at Taneto's Fuori Orario, invited to Rai Radio 2 Social Club for an episode and an interview.

Despite this, the last effective date of the tour is April 25 with a double concert, one Gattatico, more precisely at Casa Cervi, with Vinicio Capossela, Lo Stato Sociale and Mara Redeghieri (where this year there were over 15,000 people) and one in Genoa, with the promise of a goodbye.
The municipality of Florence has decided to name the Florentine summer 2022 after Erriquez and, at the same time, to organize a special free event dedicated to him, entitled Three steps forward and held on May 27 at the Cascine Amphitheater (the Ultravox of Florence) , with various guests: Cisco, Giobbe Covatta, Carmen Consoli, Ginevra Di Marco, Jacopo Fo, Folcast, Enzo Iacchetti, Max Gazzè, Gabriella Martinelli, Mirkoeilcane, Erica Mou, Negrita, Saverio Tommasi, Paola Turci, Piero Pelù, plus the special intervention by Rocco Greppi and Jacopo Finazzo (the sons of Erriquez and Finaz).
