A Rich Tradition

Since its establishment in 1951, the San Remo Music Festival (Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo) has played a central role in shaping Italy’s musical heritage, introducing a lot of artists who have become icons. The festival also served as the inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest, with many San Remo winners representing Italy on the global stage.

What to Expect from the 2025 Edition

Under the artistic direction and hosting of Carlo Conti, returning after his previous tenures, the festival will feature 30 established artists in the “Campioni” category and reintroduce the “Nuove Proposte” section with four emerging talents.

This year’s lineup includes a blend of seasoned performers and rising stars, each presenting original compositions. Notable participants include:

  • Achille Lauro: Known for his eclectic style, blending pop, rock, and punk elements.
  • Giorgia: Celebrating over three decades in music, her return to the Ariston stage is highly anticipated.
  • Francesca Michielin: A versatile artist who previously represented Italy at Eurovision.
  • Massimo Ranieri: A legendary figure with a career spanning several decades.

Each evening will feature performances evaluated by both jury members and the viewing public, culminating on the final night where the winner will be announced.

Hosts and Co-Hosts

Carlo Conti will be accompained by various co-hosts throughout the festival’s five nights, including:

  • Katia Follesa: A celebrated comedian and television presenter, expected to bring her signature humor to the Ariston stage.
  • Geppi Cucciari: Celebrated for her wit and charm, anticipated to co-host one of the evenings.

These co-hosts bring diverse talents, contributing to a dynamic and engaging festival experience.

Special Guests

Speculations suggest potential appearances by prominent figures, but for the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is advisable to refer to official festival communications.
