Dua Lipa reportedly in talks to co-host Sanremo 2027
Reports indicate that Stefano De Martino, who will serve as the artistic director and host for the 2027 Sanremo Music Festival, is in advanced negotiations to bring British pop star Dua Lipa to the event. Rather than appearing solely as a guest performer, Lipa is being considered for a co-hosting role during one of the festival's five nights.
Potential slots for Lipa include the opening night, the grand finale, or the new ‘Performance’ evening dedicated to selecting Italy's Eurovision Song Contest representative. Her agency, Tap Music, has previously been involved in selecting the UK's Eurovision entry. Currently, Lipa has no conflicting live performances scheduled for the festival dates of February 16–20, 2027.
Other names are also circulating for the 2027 cast. Maria De Filippi is being discussed as a potential co-host, a move that would hold symbolic weight given her professional history with De Martino. Additionally, Brenda Lodigiani has been mentioned for a recurring role throughout the festival.
