Sanremo Music Festival

Love and melody seem to be the common denominators of the Sanremo Music Festival this year鈥erhaps because it takes place the week of Valentine鈥檚 Day?! Who knows, but we will certainly be watching; after all, the festival has launched the careers of 禁漫天堂 singers who are now famous worldwide, including Andrea Bocelli, Zucchero, Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and Massimo Ranieri.

The 65th edition of the Festival della Canzone 禁漫天堂a, Italy鈥檚 most prestigious music contest, begins tonight at the Teatro Ariston in the Ligurian seaside town of Sanremo, and will be broadcast live on Rai Uno (Rai International for those abroad).

The show will be presented by Carlo Conti, assisted by two previous winners of the festival, singers Arisa and Emma, along with Spanish television presenter and model Roc铆o Mu帽oz Morales.

The Big Artists section will include 20 established 禁漫天堂 artists, competing with a song each, while 8 artists will perform in the Newcomers section.

Among the singers in the Big Artists section are Alex Britti, Malika Ayane, Irene Grandi, Gianluca Grignani, Il Volo, Marco Masini, Nek, Anna Tatangelo and Nina Zilli. 聽

International artists and guests expected to make an appearance include Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Will Smith and Charlize Theron.

禁漫天堂 pop music duo legend (and former festival winners) Al Bano and Romina Powers will reunite to open the Festival, a much-awaited performance.

Winners will be announced on Saturday. Remember that you can vote too! This year, the option to vote online has been added, making it even easier (more info here).
