Italy: The press will listen to all the Sanremo songs on January 15!

On January 15th, several members of the press are going to listen to all the Sanremo 2024 songs! During that day, music journalists and music blogs will publish their initial reviews and reactions to all 30 songs that will compete in the 74th edition of the Italian music festival. 

The 74th Sanremo Music Festival will take place from February 6 to February 10. The songs will be performed live for the first time during the festival, but, like every year, members of the italian press will have the opportunity to listen to the songs and publish their reviews. The results of those reviews are usually very close to the final results, predicting both the winner and the songs that will finish high in the top 10.

5TH DAY – SATURDAY, 10TH FEBRUARY 2024

The 30 songs will be performed again, with the results of that day being 100% determined by the televoting After that, the results of the day will join those of Sanremo 2024’s previous 4 days.

The sum of all those results will then determine the top-5 (even the 4th day will count, despite the fact the acts sing covers as opposed to their original songs) (Note that during each show, they reveal a part of the results from those days just before the end of the current show… and they show only a part of the provisory general results either just before the end of the current show or at the start of the following show) – The top-5 will either perform their entries again or a recap will be shown and then the winner will be determined by a threesome voting: 34% televoting, 33% press, TV and web jury and 33% radio jury

POST SANREMO 2024 – EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Any of the 30 acts (and its respective record labels) who are interested in going to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will have to fill a special form concerning ESC – The winning act of Sanremo 2024 is automatically considered to be the Eurovision 2024 act. The winning act also has first refusal on that matter, though – in case it doesn’t accept going to Eurovision at all, the show’s organizing committee will then pick the Eurovision 2024 act according to their own criteria (this is especially important to those who have filled the form that determines its interest in going to ESC)

Sanremo 2024, will have different hosts every night alongside Amadeus:

• Marco Mengoni, the Italian representative for Eurovision 2023 will be the co-host of Night 1.
• Giorgia, a well-known Italian singer who has participated in Sanremo four times and was crowned its winner in 1995, will be the co-host of Night 2.
• Teressa Mannino, Italian actress and comedian, will co-host Night 3.
• Lorella Cuccarini, Italian dancer, TV presenter, singer and actress, will co-host Night 4.
• Fiorello, Italian actor, will co-host among with Amadeus the big night of the Festival’s Final.

So for those who are fans of the Italian music scene, are not bored of the endless TV shows and are ready for a week of night and day, we at Eurovisionfun will keep you the best company!
