Sanremo 2026: the standings after the second night for Televote and Jury. Lineup for the third night

Tommaso Paradiso, Lda & Aka 7even, nayt, Fedez & Masini, Ermal Meta: these are the top five, listed with no order of ranking, from the second night of the Sanremo Festival 2026, the result of the Televote and the Radio Jury's vote on the 15 Big Artists who performed tonight.

Third night's lineup

On Thursday 26 February the third night of the Sanremo Festival takes place. At the heart of the show is the meeting between Alicia Keys and Eros Ramazzotti, together live at the Ariston for the first time. The two premiere the Italian-Spanish duet version of "Aurora", one of the most personal tracks in Ramazzotti's catalogue, included on his latest album "Una storia importante".

The performance evokes biographical journeys and symbolic milestones: Keys claims Italian roots through her Sicilian grandparents, while Ramazzotti celebrates forty years since his Sanremo victory with "Adesso Tu", a decisive step in his international breakthrough.

Alongside the host, acting as co-hosts, Russian top model Irina Shayk and Ubaldo Pantani take the stage, with Pantani performing one of his best-known impressions, that of Lapo Elkann.

In competition, another 15 Big Artists perform, judged under a mixed system: Televote (50%) and Radio Jury (50%). In alphabetical order: Arisa, Eddie Brock, Francesco Renga, Leo Gassmann, Luchè, Malika Ayane, Mara Sattei, Maria Antonietta e Colombre, Michele Bravi, Raf, Sayf, Sal Da Vinci, Samurai Jay, Serena Brancale, Tredici Pietro. Once voting closes, the full ranking of the fifteen songs is drawn up; the public is only told the top five positions, with no order given.

For the New Proposals category, accompanied on stage by Gianluca Gazzoli, the two finalists go head to head. The vote is split between Televote (34%), the Press, TV and Web Jury (33%) and the Radio Jury (33%). The artist with the most votes is declared the category winner.

Outside the Ariston, on the Piazza Colombo stage, The Kolors perform.
