Happy Super-Tuesday, everyone? Or is it just Sanremo Tuesday? You may think just having one show to watch would be less exciting than usual, however it does make deciding what to watch a LOT easier. And it doesn’t matter much when that show lasts longer than everything else combined…
🇮🇹 Italy – Sanremo Music Festival
Show: Festival di Sanremo – 1st day
When: 20:30 – eternity 01:00 CET
Where to Watch: RAI or the official stream
Things start off with a bang in Italy as all 24 competing entries take the stage on the very first night of the 69th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival. Notable among them we have former Sanremo winners and third place recipients from Eurovision 2015: Il Volo, back to dazzle us all with a new song and new facial hair. You might call this the revenge of 2015 since they are going against the act that came second the very same year they won: Nek. Another one to look out for is Ultimo, who won the Sanremo Giovani contest last year and has since been busy gaining millions of views faster than an average reaction video on YouTube.
Will we find out any results tonight?
Maybe? Although nobody will be sent home, we should get some sort of a result at the end of the evening. If it’s anything like last year, then acts will be divided into three separate categories based on how well they did in the voting. And who will be doing the voting you ask? Well on night one, the voting will be a three-way combination of the following: 40% public televoting, 30% Demoscopic voting and 30% Press jury voting.
