This year the Sanremo Festival could have competition. to wage war amadeus and with Rai it could be Mediaset with its programs. Giuseppe Candela reveals it on Dagospia: “After almost 15 years the festival could be counter-programmed. On air You have Post, Le Iene, GfVip and more. From Cologno to Viale Mazzini, brace yourself for a rain of conspiracy theories…”.
The move from Pier Silvio Berlusconi, only assumed for the time being but not officially confirmed, could have two different outcomes. It could ‘kill’ Sanremo’s ratings for the first time in several years – it must be stressed that the music festival has always had excellent results with Amadeus – or it could see the festival as an overwhelming success despite counter-programming. It remains to be seen whether the news will be confirmed.
We now know that the festival will be broadcast from Tuesday 7th to Saturday 11th February and which will be performed by Amadeus for the fourth consecutive year. There are 28 big names who will perform on the Ariston stage, 6 of them come from the “Sanremo Giovani” category. Especially awaiting the great return of Article 31, Paola and Chiara, Giorgia and Anna Oxa. You will also be on stage with the conductor Clare Ferragniwho supports him on the first and last evening of the event, e.g Gianni Morandi. Another confirmed co-host is the journalist Francesca Fagnani. However, the last two personalities who will support Amadeus are not known.
