Edward Marchesi The Big names of Sanremo 2027 will be revealed on Friday, December 11, in prime time on Rai1 at 9:30 pm, during the final of Sarà Sanremo . The confirmation came with a promo broadcast for the first time on the flagship Rai channel, in which host and artistic director Stefano De Martino put an end to the rumors of the previous days.
Mariasole Pollio appears alongside him in the commercial , without the announcement clarifying whether the actress will also be joining the host in hosting the December show. The back-and-forth between the two is light: Pollio asks for at least the name of a competing singer, while De Martino postpones everything until December 11th and warns that until then the names circulating are only hypotheses.
The evening of Sara Sanremo
The December 11th program isn't just about announcing the Champions. That same evening, the six young contestants will compete , and the winner will become the 24th singer among the Bigs of the Sanremo Festival . The live broadcast will be from the Teatro dell'Opera del Casinò and will close the Sanremo Giovani journey.
The group of contestants will therefore consist of 24 artists: 23 personally chosen by De Martino and the sixth young person who will secure the available spot. The date was chosen after November 29th and December 18th had been discussed.
The calendar towards the Festival
The 2027 Sanremo Festival will take place from February 16th to 20th , approximately two months after its announcement. Artists' proposals must arrive by November 23rd, unless extended, and from that point on, a three-week countdown will begin to finalize the agreements and finalize the list.
De Martino has previously explained at the Festival dello Spettacolo that leaks often originate within the organization. For this reason, he reiterates that, until official confirmation is made, any advance announcements regarding names should be treated with caution.
