"Måneskin, reunion at Sanremo in 2027." The tip-off from Fiorello

A single remark from Fiorello was enough to reignite speculation about the future of Måneskin. During "La Pennicanza" on Radio2, the TV host recounted meeting Ethan Torchio at the Internazionali tennis tournament in Rome and receiving a confidence bound to get fans talking: the Roman band is said to be ready to reunite for a comeback planned for Sanremo 2027. No official confirmation, of course, but that was enough to set rumours and expectations about the band spinning again.

As often happens when Fiorello is involved, the line between joke, provocation and genuine scoop remains deliberately blurred. And yet the reference to the Sanremo Festival is no coincidence. It was precisely from the Ariston stage that, in 2021, Måneskin made their definitive leap, winning with "Zitti e buoni" before also conquering the Eurovision Song Contest and breaking into the international market.

Officially, the Roman group has never announced a split. In recent years, though, the signs of a slowdown had become obvious. After the worldwide explosion that followed their European success, the band had gradually scaled back joint public appearances. Damiano David had set off on a path increasingly geared towards an international solo career, between new collaborations and an artistic image quite different from the band's early days. Victoria De Angelis had also stepped up her own personal projects, splitting her time between DJ sets, fashion and creative collaborations. At the same time, the lack of announcements about new records and the increasingly sparse joint releases had fuelled speculation about a lengthy hiatus.

Over time, various interpretations of the band's internal situation have circulated. Some have spoken of a simple, natural break after years of touring and global overexposure, while others have suggested artistic tensions linked to musical evolution and the differing ambitions of individual members. In recent months, rumours had already surfaced about possible reunions, ranging from a big concert in Rome to alleged surprise appearances abroad, but none of these rumours had found any concrete confirmation.

For this reason, the words Fiorello attributed to Ethan Torchio had an immediate impact on social media, where fans have gone back to discussing a possible return of the band. The prospect of a reunion at Sanremo would also carry strong symbolic weight: it would bring the band back to the very place that marked their definitive consecration in front of the Italian public.

Formed in Rome in 2016, Måneskin — made up of Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio — first became known to the wider public thanks to their appearance on X Factor in 2017. The success of "Torna a casa" had paved the way for their definitive breakthrough, which arrived in 2021 with "Zitti e buoni". In the years that followed, the group conquered international charts with tracks like "Beggin'" and "I Wanna Be Your Slave", turning into one of the most globally recognizable Italian rock phenomena.

The latest album released by Maneskin, "Rush!", dates back to 2023.

For now, though, everything remains at the level of rumors. No official announcement has come from the band or their entourage.
