Maneskin, Fiorello announces the reunion: “They will be at Sanremo 2027”
Maneskin will get back together and celebrate their reunion on the stage of Sanremo Festival 2027. It was announced Fiorello today in La Pennicanza, on Rai Radio2. The showman said he met Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio, respectively the guitarist and drummer of the Roman rock band, at the Tennis Internationals in Rome and that he got the announcement from him. «I met Ethan and Thomas and asked him: “But is it true that you will get back together?”. And they told me it’s true. The reunion will be in Sanremo 2027», Fiorello said.
Moreover, it was already clear that there was an air of reunion in recent months. Last October 11th in Rome on the occasion of one of the Italian dates of Damiano David’s solo tour the other three members of the band, Raggi, Torchio and bassist Victoria De Angelis, made a surprise appearance under the stage. Not like three ordinary fans, but like three special friends. A powerful image, the diffusion of which was not left to chance: the clip of the arrival of the three was promptly provided by the press office, making the rounds of editorial offices and social media. An episode that came a few days after an ambiguous speech made by Damiano David during a concert at the Roundhouse in London. It was last September 28th when the singer, before singing his “Perfect life”, explaining the reasons for his solo breakthrough to the 4 thousand spectators of the London arena, explained: «One day something broke and I no longer felt happy. I didn’t understand why. I was in a successful band that toured incredibly well. This record helped me understand what was wrong: My life was perfect, but it was someone else’s idea of perfection, not mine.». In subsequent concerts, such as the one on October 7 at the Forum in Milan, the singer tried to correct his aim: «I couldn’t be understood, but this feeling had nothing to do with the other members».
It should be noted, for the record, that having a central role alongside Stefano De Martino at Sanremo 2027 will be, as musical consultant, Fabrizio Ferraguzzothe manager of Maneskin themselves. The presence alongside De Martino of Ferraguzzo, owner of the company Exit Music Management (which takes care of the band’s activities), co-founder of Moysa and the Stardust agency, member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and in the past A&R of Sony Music Italy, was made official by the prime time entertainment director Rai Williams Di Liberatore:
We are right under construction of the project and have just started working, there is an open table. Certainly the idea that we have always shared with Stefano is not to leave the selection of songs, rather than any guests, up to the decision of a single person, but to try to build a team. (On Ferraguzzo’s position, ed.) we are precisely evaluating with those directly involved what support possibilities Ferraguzzo will be able to provide within the project and the new model. On this there is an open table in which we are defining precisely what the potential and added value are, without naturally going into competition.
The choice to celebrate the reunion in Sanremo is not accidental. From the Ariston stage in 2021 the world-wide ride of Damiano David and his companions began, with that of “Shut up and good” which a few weeks after the victory at the Festival led the group to also conquer theEurovision Song Contest.
