On 14 December, Conti lifts the veil on the titles of the songs in the competition
With an already announced change to the regulations, the artistic director has raised the total number of artists that will compete at the festival to 30 (the regulations had envisaged 26). During the evening of 14 December of "Sarà Sanremo", broadcast live on Rai 1 from the Sanremo Casino, Conti will then unveil the titles of the songs of the 30 Bigs competing at the next Festival. The appointment at the Ariston Theatre for the next edition of the Sanremo Festival is from 24 to 28 February, live on Rai 1, Radio2 and RaiPlay.
The choice to postpone the date
The decision to move the dates of the Festival is linked to the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, scheduled for the first weeks of February, which have made it necessary to postpone the usual date at the Ariston Theatre in Sanremo. For the five scheduled evenings, the script should follow the traditional format with four dedicated to the Big and Cover songs performances, while the final will be held on Saturday 28 February, during which the winner of the 76th edition of the Sanremo Festival will be proclaimed.
