Carlo Conti Unveils the 2025 San Remo Line-Up: A Star-Studded Show with Eurovision Favourites

The Ariston Theatre is gearing up for another dazzling edition of the iconic San Remo Festival, and Carlo Conti, the mastermind behind this year’s spectacle, has just announced the 30 artists set to compete from February 11th to 15th, 2025.
With a line-up that blends Eurovision nostalgia and contemporary Italian talent, Conti’s announcement during TG1 has already set fans buzzing. Among the highlights are Francesco Gabbani, who charmed Europe with “Occidentali’s Karma” in 2017; Francesca Michielin, who touched hearts in 2016 with “No Degree of Separation”; and the flamboyant Achille Lauro, known for his electrifying 2022 performance for San Marino.
A Festival Rooted in Emotion
Conti revealed that this year’s songs will largely focus on themes of love and family, moving away from overtly political messages. “San Remo reflects the times we live in but also serves as a source of comfort,” he explained, suggesting that this edition aims to balance meaningful storytelling with pure entertainment.
