Italian showman Rosario Fiorello announced on his program La Pennicanza that rock band Maneskin plans to reunite at the 2027 Sanremo Festival, according to conversations he had with two band members.
Fiorello said he encountered Ethan Torchio, the band's drummer, and Thomas Raggi, guitarist, at the Internazionali d'Italia tennis tournament in Rome. He asked them directly whether rumors of a reunion were true, saying: "But is it true that you're getting back together? Does this news correspond to reality?"
According to Fiorello's account, both musicians confirmed the reunion would take place. Torchio and Raggi told him: "Yes, it's true. The reunion will be done at Sanremo 2027."
Maneskin, composed of Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi, and Ethan Torchio, won the Sanremo Festival in 2021 with the song "Zitti e buoni" before achieving international success and winning the Eurovision Song Contest that same year.
The band's potential return to Sanremo would occur under the direction of Stefano De Martino, who is conducting the 2027 edition of the festival. De Martino recently took over as host and artistic director from Carlo Conti at the Teatro Ariston.
Speculation about a Maneskin reunion had circulated in recent weeks after the band members were photographed together in Rome during celebrations for Victoria De Angelis's birthday. Their manager, Fabrizio Ferraguzzo, was also present at the gathering, which fueled reports of a potential reunion.
The four band members reunited at a Trastevere restaurant on April 27 to celebrate Victoria De Angelis turning 26, sparking fan speculation.
Stefano De Martino, host and artistic director of Sanremo 2027, spoke about the festival nine months before its debut, saying ideas for performers and co-hosts are already in place.
Stefano De Martino, making his debut as conductor and artistic director at Italy's Sanremo festival in 2027, is reportedly considering featuring singers Emma Marrone and Belén Rodriguez in the opening night.
