The singers who will not sing on Wednesday will be the co-organizers of the Sanremo Festival: they will present their colleagues through a draw that will take place in the press room in the morning. “On Thursday the same thing will happen in reverse order.” , continued Amadeus.
“Friday cover night, where singers will be accompanied by an artist unless they are already two or more singers in the competition; in this case they do not need an additional person to accompany them; and they can sing any national song and song from any era, even their own songs until December 31, 2023 of this year”.
“Saturday night finale with the Podium with the first 5: From there we will find out who will be the winning song of the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival,” added the conductor. “The latest news on the juries: In addition to televoting and the press room, there will be the radio jury, which will replace the opinion poll. Then the radio jury, consisting of national radio stations, regional or local radio stations, will really play a very important role.”
