Stefano De Martino's Sanremo 2027 plans fuel Belen Rodriguez contestant rumors

Stefano De Martino Belen Rodriguez Sanremo 2027 contestant rumors Italian music festival

Stefano De Martino has been appointed artistic director and main presenter of the Sanremo Music Festival 2027, which is scheduled for 16‑20 February 2027 at the Ariston Theatre in Rome. In the run‑up to the event, a wave of rumors has circulated that former showgirl Belen Rodriguez is recording new songs in a Milan studio with the aim of entering the competition as a contestant, not as a co‑host. No official confirmation of her participation has been given.

Other potential line‑up details are also being discussed. International stars such as Bruno Mars and Olivia Rodrigo have been mentioned as possible guests, while Italian acts like Maneskin, Tiziano Ferro, Mahmood and Emma Marrone are cited as candidates. Director De Martino reportedly met rapper Salmo in Sardinia as part of the casting process, and a possible reunion of Maneskin as super‑guests has been floated. The festival’s preparation continues under De Martino’s leadership, with the final roster expected to be announced later in the year.
