Tonight marks the second evening of the Sanremo Festival 2026, where audiences will witness performances from fifteen out of the thirty competing artists. Public voting will play a crucial role in determining the favorites among viewers at home. This event, taking place at the revered Teatro Ariston, will also showcase the New Proposals, presented by Gianluca Gazzoli, further enriching the festival experience.

Carlo Conti and Laura Pausini will be the hosts of the evening, joined by guests Lillo, Pilar Fogliati, and Achille Lauro. Notably, athletes from the upcoming Milano Cortina Olympics will be present, including champions Lisa Vittozzi and Francesca Lollobrigida, although Arianna Fontana unfortunately won't attend due to illness. A significant highlight of the night includes a tribute to the victims of the Crans-Montana tragedy, with Lauro set to perform "Perdutamente," a song that resonated during the funeral of Achille Barosi, one of the young Italians lost in the recent fire.

Aside from the performances, the festival is keenly observed for its viewership ratings, and there’s a detailed list of how the public can participate in the voting process. With the festival continuing to capture the imagination of the public, its rich history as a cultural event in Italy remains a focal point, embodying both the celebration of music and the emotions tied to national tragedies.
