Måneskin to Reunite at Sanremo 2027
Listen to the story
The Italian rock band Måneskin will reunite for one day at the 2027 Sanremo Festival. The news was confirmed by Stefano De Martino, who will host the event. Sanremo is Italy's most important music festival, held every year and watched by millions of people on television.
A reunion usually means that band members, who are no longer performing together, come together again for a special event. Måneskin gained international fame after winning a major European song contest, and the band's members went on to pursue separate projects afterward.
De Martino announced the reunion but gave very few details about it. He only confirmed that the band would appear together at the festival for a single day. It is not yet known whether Måneskin will perform a full show or simply make a brief appearance.
The announcement has already caused excitement among fans, who have been hoping for news about the band's future. Sanremo often features surprise appearances and reunions, making it one of the most closely watched cultural events in Italy each year.
More information about the 2027 edition of the festival, including the full list of performers, is expected to be released closer to the event.
