Sanremo giovani will be a multi evening affair again and on top of that the separate Sanremo Giovani or newcomers final will be held in Sanremo 2025 festival giving us two winners again in 2025 rather than only one - as it should be if you ask me. Just think about some names that have won the newcomers before making it to the Big category: Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini, Andrea Bocelli and Francesco Gabbani. Just to name a few.
There will be four heats on November 12, 19, 26 and December 3 presented by Eurovision host Alessandro Cattelan each with six participants, three making it further. The semi-final takes place on December 10 and the 12 will become six.
The final takes place on December 18. The six will become three, and also the two selected by AreaSanremo selection will battle out between them for the last spot. That makes four who will travel to Teatro Ariston in Sanremo in February and have the grand final with new songs.
The Sanremo Giovani selection had 564 submissions and 46 got an invitation to the auditions. Many of them come from talent shows proving that after possible success in them Sanremo is still the place to be. We have from various X Factors Angelica Bove, Selmi, Settembre, Sickteens, Martina Attili and Vale Lp. From various Amici editions we have Martina, Mew, Nahaze, Lil Jolie, Aaron, Wax, Alex Wyse, Nicol, Rea, Tancredi, Martina Beltrami and Noemi Cainero.
