A Måneskin reunion at the Sanremo Festival 2027. Or rather: the full return of the Roman band, which has never officially split up, despite the various solo projects of its members. Reviving the hypothesis is a piece of insider information picked up by the Adnkronos agency, according to which the Roman band's return to the Ariston would be part of the broader renewal project that new artistic director and host Stefano De Martino is said to be preparing.
Two elements in particular make the scenario plausible. The first concerns the presence, on De Martino's music team, of Fabrizio Ferraguzzo, the manager who guided Måneskin through their international career. The second is linked to changes reportedly being studied for the Festival's rules. According to Adnkronos, the idea would be to reduce the number of competitors and introduce a new competitive evening dedicated to choosing Italy's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest. This "contest within the contest," placed before the cover-songs night and the final, would see artists perform with staging, choreography and costumes designed for an international context, modelled on the European event itself. Eurovision selection would thus be separated from the Festival's overall win, marking a significant novelty in Sanremo's structure.
In this context, Måneskin's return would take on symbolic as well as media weight. The band, after all, represents one of Italy's biggest successes in recent Eurovision history thanks to their win in 2021, and could become the ideal face to inaugurate the event's new course.
The reunion would also carry particular meaning for the group itself. Although Måneskin have never officially announced a split, in recent years the four members have pursued separate artistic paths: Damiano David has launched a solo pop career, Victoria De Angelis has established herself as an international DJ, Thomas Raggi has developed rock-oriented projects, and Ethan Torchio has devoted himself to composing soundtracks. A break that has allowed each of them to explore new creative avenues, without erasing the weight and worldwide recognisability of the Måneskin brand.
For this reason, according to Adnkronos's analysis, a reunion at the Ariston would represent a beneficial opportunity for both sides: on one hand it would offer the band the ideal stage for reuniting in front of a huge audience, and on the other it would guarantee the Festival a hugely internationally appealing event capable of accompanying the launch of the changes planned for the 2027 edition.
At the moment there is no official confirmation, but the connection between the Festival's reform plans and the band's possible return is fuelling a hypothesis that, from a simple suggestion, is gaining ever more substance.
The last album released by Måneskin, “Rush!“, dates back to 2023. In the meantime, Damiano David has made his solo debut with “Funny Little Fears”, while bassist Victoria has focused on DJ sets and collaborations that have met with solid commercial success, though still far from the global numbers achieved with Måneskin.
