Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The 77th edition of the Sanremo Festival features an engaging and slightly revised schedule. On Tuesday and Wednesday, all participating artists will present their brand-new, unreleased songs to the public. Thursday is dedicated to the beloved "Cover Night," a fan-favorite tradition that guarantees musical surprises and nostalgic collaborations.
A major change for 2027 is the separation of the Eurovision selection from the main festival finale. On Friday evening, the artists will perform their entries again, and by the end of the night, Italy's representative for Eurovision will be chosen. The excitement peaks on Saturday with the Grand Final, where the ultimate winner of the 2027 Sanremo Music Festival will be crowned through a combined vote of the public, the press, and the radio jury.
Tickets & Admission for Sanremo Music Festival Sanremo
Due to the festival's massive national and international popularity, tickets for the Teatro Ariston are highly limited and typically sell out in record time. Prices for individual nights usually start at around 240 Euros for gallery seating during the early days of the festival. For the highly anticipated Saturday Grand Final, premium stalls tickets can easily reach or exceed 1,000 Euros. It is highly recommended to monitor official ticketing channels like TicketOne well in advance and to avoid unauthorized secondary market platforms to prevent overpriced or invalid tickets.
Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Sanremo
- Travel: The most convenient international gateway is Nice Côte d'Azur Airport in France, located about an hour's drive away. Sanremo is also easily accessible by train along the scenic coastal railway.
- Accommodation: Book your hotel or apartment as early as possible—preferably months in advance. During the festival week, lodgings in Sanremo sell out rapidly and prices surge significantly.
- Weather & Attire: While the Ligurian coast can be mild in February, evenings are often chilly. Bring elegant attire for the theater, but don't forget a warm coat for navigating the city at night.
- Dining: Make restaurant reservations in the city center ahead of time. Spontaneous dining near the Teatro Ariston is nearly impossible due to the massive influx of visitors and media.
- Local Vibe: Enjoy the festive atmosphere beyond the theater; the city hosts numerous free concerts, pop-up stages, and after-show parties, particularly around Piazza Colombo.
