Sanremo 2027 lineup, format changes and tour

Entities: Belen Rodriguez · Ariston Theatre · Sanremo 2027 Festival · Sanremo Music Festival · Stefano De Martino

Overview

Stefano De Martino will continue as artistic director and host of the Festival di Sanremo through 2028, overseeing the five‑night 2027 edition scheduled for 16‑20 February 2027 at the Teatro Ariston. The contest will retain the original‑song nights (Tuesday‑Wednesday), a Cover Night (Thursday), a new performance night (Friday) and the grand final (Saturday), and may add a Eurovision‑themed night and a roster of international guests.

The traditional “Nuove Proposte” category is being dropped, reducing the participant count to roughly 24 entries. Organisers have received about 500 song submissions and published a provisional list of 38 possible big‑artist entries, including Emma, Madame, Elodie, Mahmood, Al Bano, Arisa and the duo Jalisse.

Following the festival, the government‑backed “Italia 2027” project will take the Sanremo winner on a European concert series, with shows scheduled in Paris (Accor Arena within 48 hours of the final), Madrid, Munich and London. The tour is coordinated by the Ministry of Tourism under Ministers Gianmarco Mazzi and Antonio Tajani.

Singer‑songwriter Giordana Angi hinted at a possible return to Sanremo in 2027, citing a new song she has written, while television presenter Paola Perego praised De Martino’s appointment as a step toward innovation. Fabrizio Ferraguzzo remains musical director, and De Martino’s three‑step song‑testing method (headphones, car, running) continues to shape the competition’s creative direction.
