RTV San Marino has confirmed to ESC Discord that the names of the eight pre-selected “Big” artists will be revealed in a press conference in Milan on Monday, 19th February.
This is a similar to how events played out during the inaugural edition of Una voce per San Marino in 2022, when eventual winner Achille Lauro was named as a ‘big’ artist in a press conference a week before the Final. The eight artists are guaranteed to perform in the Final of UVPSM, and they will be joined by eight ‘newcomers’ (emerging artists).
They will have to compete in the Semi Finals, to be broadcast on:
- Semi Final 1 — Monday, 19th February at 21:40 CET
- Semi Final 2 — Tuesday, 20th February at 21:40 CET
- Semi Final 3 — Wednesday, 21st February at 21:40 CET
- Semi Final 4 — Thursday, 22nd February at 21:40 CET
- Semi Final 5 — Friday, 23rd February at 21:40 CET
The eight victorious newcomers will compete against the eight pre-qualified ‘big’ artists in the Grand Final.
- Grand Final — Saturday, 24th February (time TBD)
Will we see Senhit back to host the Grand Final? Will we have some Sanremo 2024 artists in the mix in San Marino? We’ll know very soon! Let us know your thoughts on the Sammarinese selection in the comments below!
Last May, the Piqued Jacks extended San Marino’s non-qualification streak to two years in-a-row when they failed to get any points in Semi Final 2 in Liverpool with their song “Like An Animal”.
