A television moment that, whether we like it or not, we will never forget: the evening of September 22, 2024, Carlo Conti published (surprisingly and at a non-random date) an announcement about Sanremo. A semi-announcement, to be precise, because many of the aspects revealed have already been addressed by the host in previous interviews. Meanwhile, practically at the same time, Amedee made his debut on the Nine.
Carlo Conti, the announcement on Sanremo on Tg1
The evening edition of Tg1 from September 22, 2024 featured Carlo Conti, artistic director and host of the seventy-fifth edition of the Sanremo Festival, scheduled for February 11-15, 2025. The Sanremo machine, although months away, is already in motion, as the host himself declared.
“We are already working on Sanremo, the artistic commission is evaluating the New proposals where there is still time to register. And I listen many great songs! On the new proposals, there is one noveltyA parallel talent in five evenings on Rai2: in a few weeks I will tell you who will host them. During these evenings we will select the best ones that will compete as New Proposals”. According to some sources from Rai I readIt could be Alessandro Cattelan Sanremo host Giovani.
Announcement of the Big Names in Competition in December
For more information, however, we will have to wait until December. “And now I will give you the name of the Big 24! No, we will announce them early DecemberI listen to a lot of songs, I Italian singers give me a hard time. There is a bit of everything: melody, loaded songs, very light music, rhythm, dance. When I receive a song, I listen to it, the first time always at low volume, and I sort them into a file that I have in mind. And then little by little I listen to them again, but suddenly, as if they were already on the radio.”
Sanremo 2025 Previews
The new Sanremo regulations have already been unveiled and, as usual, around the Festival there is a curiosity that never stops, not even for a moment. After five editions organized by Amadeus, it is again the turn of Carlo Conti, already strong in leadership. And he has a very specific Sanremo in mind: for starters, it won’t end at 2am, despite all the critics of “Ama’s” choice to continue until late at night. ritual whichat the end, maybe we will miss it.
Regarding the full names of Sanremo 2025, it is still early to have a precise idea of who we will see on stage: however, according to All Music Italywe could find some of the big names, from Tiziano Ferro to Emma, up to Blanco, Elodie, Tananai, Matteo Bocelli, Francesco Gabbani… and Al Bano & Romina, Carlo Conti’s great dream. In fact, Al Bano would be more than happy to return to Ariston, given his “little” controversy against Amadeus for having pushed him aside. “It would have been the last Sanremo I would have done, because age now advises me to do so, but Amadeus did not accept my songs. I am not entirely sure that he did not listen to them, but I am almost certain.” Who knows: the artist says he is “always ready for Sanremo”.
