Sanremo 2026, the setlist for the third evening with times: superhosts Eros and Alicia Keys

On Thursday 26 February, for the third evening of the Sanremo Festival after the previous two marked by calo degli ascolti, the superguests at the Ariston are Alicia Keys and Eros Ramazzotti who at 10 pm:37 in a world premiere they will perform for the first time in Italian L'Aurora, among the most famous songs in the singer's repertoire, contained in his latest album, Una Storia Importante. A performance that has the flavour of a return to her origins: Alicia has Italian roots, which go back to her Sicilian grandparents ('Singing in Italian on this iconic stage has another level of magic. I've never done it before! I have always carried my Italian heritage with pride and being here at Sanremo today will allow me to sing it out loud,' he says). Eros celebrates 40 years since winning Sanremo with Adesso Tu. The evening starts at 20:40, as usual, with the aim of closing at 1:12.

On stage, as co-hosts, Russian supermodel Irina Shayk and Ubaldo Pantani as one of his most successful parodies, Lapo Elkann. The former, immediately pressed on the subject of the war in Ukraine, considering that today at the Ariston they will be talking about peace, no to violence and bullying, cuts it short: "I don't make political comments, I'm here to celbrate love, music, positive energy, it's true, a lot of things are happening in the world but I'm just grateful to be here, smiling, no political comments. I want to send a message of peace and love around the world. As a Russian I am glad on this occasion to be here'.
