EroCaddeo passes the Area Sanremo auditions and is officially among the 15 winners of the 2026 edition. A new milestone for the singer-songwriter from Sinnai: the dream of reaching the Festival continues.
The announcement was made a few hours ago at the Palafiori in Sanremo. The fifteen artists were selected by the Music Committee chaired by Stefano De Martino, artistic director of the upcoming Festival. EroCaddeo overcame a far from straightforward selection process: after the preliminary auditions, which involved 462 applicants, only 60 contestants made it to the final stage. Of these, just 15 earned a pass to the next round.
On November 21st and 22nd, the 15 winners of Area Sanremo will compete against the 15 artists already selected through Sanremo Giovani (including Rob, winner of X Factor 2025). Six names will emerge from the competition, three from each category, who will advance to the "Sarà Sanremo" evening, scheduled for December 11th on Rai 1. On that occasion, a single artist will be chosen, destined to earn a spot among the Big Artists at the Sanremo Festival 2027.
