The artistic direction of Sanremo 2026 unveils the duets for the covers evening

The artistic organization of the Italian contest has released the complete schedule for the highly anticipated covers night, which will take place on Friday, February 27. This special event, known as serata cover, features more than twenty collaborations that fuse talents from different eras and styles on the stage of the Ariston Theater. 🎤

A generational crossover on stage

The published list combines classic figures from the festival with surprise guests, ensuring an evening where iconic songs will be reinterpreted. The central idea is to create unprecedented encounters and celebrate the richness of Italian song.

Some of the most highlighted confirmed collaborations:
  • Arisa teams up with the Chorus of the Teatro Regio di Parma to perform "Quello che le donne non dicono".
  • Le Bambole di Pezza and Cristina D’Avena join forces on the track "Occhi di gatto".
  • The duo formed by Chiello and Morgan will present "Mi sono innamorato di te".
A bet that, more than competing, celebrates Italian song in all its diversity.

A mosaic of genres and styles

The full lineup draws a wide sonic spectrum. From classic pop to anime soundtracks, the night promises to surprise the audience with unique combinations.

Other artistic pairs that complete the program:
  • Dargen D’Amico, Pupo, and trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso on "Su di noi".
  • Elettra Lamborghini and the group Las Ketchup covering the hit "Aserejé".
  • Fedez, Gianluca Grignani, and cellist Stjepan Hauser with "Meravigliosa creatura".

A night to remember

The evening will also feature Fulminacci and Francesca Fagnani performing "Parole parole", while Francesco Renga will sing "Ragazzo solo, ragazza sola" alongside Giusy Ferreri. Other notable performances will include Patty Pravo with Timofej Andrijashenko on "Ti lascio una canzone", and Sal Da Vinci with Michele Zarrillo on "Cinque giorni". The final result will be a show that brings together on stage artists who probably never imagined sharing a microphone, offering everything from anime covers to Italian pop classics. 🎶
