The first night of the festival promises to be a star-studded event, with Conti set to co-host alongside Laura Pausini, who will be a consistent presence throughout all five nights of the festival. Additionally, a lineup of other prominent names including Can Yaman, Lillo, Achille Lauro, and Max Pezzali are expected to take the stage in various roles throughout the evening, adding to the festival's excitement and grandeur.

The presence of high-profile stars and the anticipation of new music demonstrate how the festival continues to evolve while celebrating Italy's vibrant musical landscape.
