Måneskin is officially set to return to the live stage. The Italian rock band has been confirmed as guests at the Sanremo Festival 2027, according to Concertilive.
Stefano De Martino, the newly appointed host and artistic director of the festival, confirmed the band’s participation. This marks their first Sanremo appearance in years, coming after a hiatus following their 2023 Rush! World Tour.
“It’s Official: Måneskin Return To Sanremo! After months of discretion, the confirmation finally arrives: Måneskin will be on the stage of the Sanremo Festival 2027.”
“Stefano De Martino, the new conductor and artistic director of the Festival, directly confirmed the return of the band, announcing the presence of Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio among the guests of the next edition.”
“This will be the official reunion of Måneskin on the Ariston stage, years after their last appearance in Sanremo. The return carries even more symbolic value for the band, since it was on the Ariston stage in 2021 that they began their conquest of the world with Zitti e Buoni. Sanremo 2027 will take place at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, from February 16 to 20, 2027.”
This will mark the festival’s 77th edition. Further details on the band’s performance are expected to follow.
De Martino’s confirmation did not come as a passing remark. It arrived through an exclusive interview with TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, one of Italy’s most prominent entertainment publications. This gave the announcement added weight and signaled that the reunion has moved beyond rumor into official festival planning.
The timing carries particular significance for fans who have watched the band’s members pursue individual projects since 2024. The upcoming Sanremo appearance would mark the first time all four members share a stage together since then. This closes a gap that opened after the conclusion of their Rush! era and its accompanying world tour.
That gap had not gone unnoticed within the group’s own circle. Whispers of a potential comeback began circulating last October, ahead of any official word. Damiano David held a solo concert in Rome at that time. The members reportedly held an informal, off-stage reunion during that period, well before Sanremo organizers made anything public.
Those earlier signs now read as the first cracks in months of collective discretion. The band and its camp kept details under wraps even as speculation mounted. De Martino’s on-record confirmation became the moment that finally turned persistent rumor into fact.
For Måneskin, the Ariston stage carries meaning beyond a simple festival slot. It is the same setting where their international rise began in 2021. Returning there in 2027 closes a symbolic loop between where their global success started and where they choose to pick things back up.
