Ciao di nuovo! Welcome to the 2026 Fantasy Sanremo Music Festival, where 24 artists will compete to become Italy's representative in the EFSC, held in Lisbon.

https://preview.redd.it/2to5my36vvge1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3d5701be4bdd4cdcd0e5bdd89f0199f5d07b86c

This year, the process will be the same as last year: three semifinals of 8 songs each, the top 4 of each night will advance to the final; a final where the top 5 songs out of 12 advance, and a superfinal, where the representative will be chosen.

Among the changes from last year, the provisional positions of the qualified songs won't be revealed, to promote fairness. The voting system's percentages will vary as explained below:

• Semifinals: Top 4 based on jury average (50%) and televote average (50%) will advance (12 songs in total)
• Final: Top 5 based on the global average (jury + televote) of the SF (25%), demoscopic vote based on most 1st places, then 2nd, 3rd, and so on from the SF (also jury + televote) (25 %), and both jury and televote average of the final (25% each)
• Superfinal: Best song based on purely superfinal average, again 50% jury and 50% televote

Also, RAI announces the introduction of a jury panel, formed by 7 international delegations, which we want to thank for their support. They are:

• 🇧🇪 u/Nutthawut45
• 🇩🇪 u/Feldtaube
• 🇮🇹 u/Emi6219
• 🇲🇰 u/pac258
• 🇸🇲 u/Faaj0
• 🇸🇰 u/JesusFuckJustDcuk
• 🇪🇸 u/lionelmeesie

As last year, each semifinal will be represented by a different section of Italian artists. Today, the last semifinal will be formed by Dialetti e Diaspora, singers and songwriters who came here to represent their regions and countries, singing in their native languages. 4 different regions are represented in their native dialects: Campania (2x), Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, and Calabria; meanwhile, three other countries are represented through their diasporas: Argentina, United States, and France.

Running Order

With no further to say, here are the first 8 songs!

You can also listen to them here, on this YouTube playlist, or on the Spotify playlist!

To vote, you need to send me a DM with your top 8 or on Discord to emi6219. A major change from last year is that you (the televote) now have 6 days to vote, compared to 7 from last year. The voting is now open until February 8, 2025, 23:59 PST (Pacific Standard Time). Until next time!
