Sanremo 2026: the Top 5 ranking after the third night. Alicia Keys enchants the Ariston

27-02-2026

Arisa, Sayf, Luchè, Serena Brancale and Sal Da Vinci. These are the top five from the third night of Sanremo 2026, which saw the remaining 15 Big Artists perform, following the first 15 the night before. The evening's provisional ranking was determined by the combined vote of the Radio Jury and the Televote.

The resulting provisional ranking revealed the evening's Top 5 in random order. Performing tonight were: Arisa, Eddie Brock, Francesco Renga, Leo Gassmann, Luché, Malika Ayane, Mara Sattei, Maria Antonietta e Colombre, Michele Bravi, Raf, Sayf, Sal Da Vinci, Samurai Jay, Serena Brancale, Tredici Pietro.

Last night it was the turn of: Bambole di Pezza, Chiello, Dargen D’Amico, Ditonellapiaga, Elettra Lamborghini, Enrico Nigiotti, Ermal, Fedez e Masini, Fulminacci, J Ax, Lda e Aka Seven, Levante, Nayt, Patty Pravo and Tommaso Paradiso. And making it into the Top 5 were Tommaso Paradiso, Lda & Aka 7Even, Nayt, Fedez & Masini, Ermal Meta.

She's Sanremo's international guest star, but in this festival built around family she also celebrated her Sicilian roots and sang in Italian: Alicia Keys set the Ariston alight with a duet alongside Eros Ramazzotti on “L’Aurora”, then cast a spell on everyone at the piano, standing, performing “Empire State Of Mind” and swapping the word “New York” for “Sanremo”. Ramazzotti celebrated his own history with “Adesso tu”, exactly 40 years after his victory in the Campioni category, introduced by a video tribute from Pippo Baudo.
