The latest news on the Sanremo Festival 2025, Carlo Conti anticipated by a news leak with a fundamental announcement, info and curiosities,
Summer has just begun and when it comes to TV all we talk about is next edition of the Sanremo Festival. Which, after several years, will be again conducted by Carlo Conti, after Amadeus’ surprise farewell to Rai. It will be precisely because of this passing of the baton that the Italian Song Festival has been on everyone’s lips for weeks, amidst various indiscretions.
We still have many months ahead of us before the lights are turned on on the stage of the Ariston Theater in the Ligurian town of Sanremo, where every year in February the five days of the singing festival which keeps millions of Italians glued to the TV.
For Rai it is a very important event, given that it is its most watched program and with the highest advertising revenues, which in recent years have reached stellar levels. It is understandable, therefore, that there is so much talk about the Festival even so far in advance. The risk, however, is that of anticipating announcements too much, as has happened recently with an announcement that is causing discussion.
Sanremo Festival 2025, Carlo Conti anticipated with the surprise announcement
Every year is the presenter of the Sanremo Festivalwho is often also artistic director, to announce the stages of the singing event: the dates on which the event will take place, the young or new talents who will go on stage at the Ariston Theater for the first time and finally the wait list of big or famous singers in competition. Each ad is carefully timed to arouse anticipation and capture the audience’s attention at the right moments.
The announcements that anticipate the details of the Festival are small events themselves and follow the appropriate timing, to promote the event effectively. This time, however, they are skip ahead and they are already at the end of June The dates on which the Sanremo Festival will take place have been revealed. It was not Carlo Conti who made this announcement. To the probable disappointment of the presenter.
Was Walter Vacchino, owner of the Ariston Theatre. Who, while presenting the season of events at the Sanremo theater, revealed that the Festival will be held from Tuesday 4 to Saturday 8 February 2025. An announcement probably made in good faith but which will certainly have surprised the Rai top management. Public television had already committed several “gaffes” in the management of Eurovision, evidently there is some management problem in keeping certain communications confidential.
Regardless of the anticipated revelations, Carlo Conti will return to hosting the Sanremo Festival after ten years since its debut as presenter of the singing event, in 2015. Conti also hosted the Festival in 2016, while in 2017 he was supported by Maria De Filippi. The contract for the new management was signed for a two-year period, for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Conti had already announced changes compared to the latest Amadeus editions. With the return of the New Proposals category, the new singers who will compete in a separate race from that of the Bigs. The names of the new talents who will participate in the Festival usually arrive in autumn, with the Sanremo Giovani event. While we will have to wait more time for the names of the famous singers competing and especially the international guests.
