Sanremo 2025: Dates Revealed and Major Changes Announced

Sanremo 2025 Dates Unveiled: Mark Your Calendars for February 4-8

One of the most eagerly awaited musical events in Italy and Europe, the Festival di Sanremo, has revealed its dates for the 2025 edition. Walter Vacchino, the owner of the Teatro Ariston, seems to have pre-empted an official announcement from RAI, stating that the festival will be held from February 4 to February 8, 2025. This information was reported by the local site Riviera24.it, although it still awaits official confirmation from RAI. The proposed dates align with the traditional schedule of the festival, which typically runs from Tuesday to Saturday.

A New Era in Scenography

One of the most notable changes for this edition is in the artistic direction of the scenography. After a long-standing collaboration with Gaetano Castelli and his daughter Maria Chiara, the festival will now feature scenography designed by Riccardo Bocchini. Bocchini, a veteran collaborator of Carlo Conti, has formerly worked on the festival during Conti’s hosting years. This shift signifies the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in the festival’s visual aesthetics.

Exciting Changes Post-Amadeus Era

Sanremo 2025 marks the first edition after the successful Amadeus era and promises several interesting innovations. The festival will continue to feature a division between new talent (Nuove Proposte) and established artists (Big), a format that has been well-received in previous years. Moreover, while the show is known for its late endings, it has been promised that it will conclude earlier, albeit not before 1 AM.

Another exciting announcement is the return of the «DopoFestival,» the post-show programme where performances and events of the night are discussed in a more relaxed and often humorous setting. This addition is sure to delight long-time fans of the festival.

Anticipation and Preparations

As the dates approach, anticipation for Sanremo 2025 continues to build. The combination of new talents, competition among seasoned artists, and changes in scenography and show format promise a memorable edition. Fans are eager to see how these innovations will impact the dynamics and overall impact of the festival.

With the official confirmation of the dates still pending and more details yet to be announced regarding the participating artists and presenters, Sanremo 2025 is shaping up to be an event full of excitement and surprises. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to enjoy one of Italy’s most prestigious musical celebrations.
