The Sanremo Festival 2026 is gearing up for its fourth evening, which will spotlight cover songs performed by the thirty artists competing in the festival. Under the guidance of hosts Carlo Conti and Laura Pausini, the evening promises a rich lineup of performances that include well-known tracks by unexpected artists. High-profile guests, including Cristina D’Avena, Fabrizio Moro, Francesca Fagnani, and actor Claudio Santamaria, will join the performers, ensuring an engaging experience for the audience.

During this special evening, each artist will showcase their chosen cover song, and the performances will be evaluated through a voting system that comprises Televoto, the press room, TV and web votes, as well as a radio jury. While the artist who secures the first place during this cover night will be recognized, it is important to note that their votes will not impact the overall competition standing. Instead, the votes accumulated during this evening will remain separate, ensuring that the outcomes of the earlier nights are preserved and only those from the following night will influence the ultimate winner of the festival.

This unique format is designed to entertain fans and provide an opportunity for artists to reinterpret popular music. The event not only highlights the talents of the competitors but also enhances the festival dynamic by integrating diverse performances, thereby creating a memorable atmosphere for all attendees.
