X Factor is (almost) completely renewed.
Starting from the hosting: Giorgia will be the new presenter of the talent show broadcast on Sky (and streaming on Now) while an old acquaintance, Manuel Agnelli , returns to the judges' table and there will be three new entries: Achille Lauro, Paola Iezzi, Jake The fury.
It is therefore another singer, as well as one of the most appreciated and recognizable voices in Italian music, who leads the show right from the selections when, behind the scenes, she will welcome the competing talents before and after their performance, and then up to the stage of Live Show live, when he will give the times to the competition between artists on stage, judges at the table and guests arriving between episodes.
Also great news is the arrival of Achille Lauro who, after his experience on Extra Factor in 2019, this time tries his hand at a more substantial role. Paola Iezzi , half of the duo Paola & Chiara, represents the most pop soul of the table, while Jake La Furia , one of the three Club Dogo, comes from hard and pure rap. Finally, rocker Manuel Agnelli is the most experienced judge, returning to the X Factor with five editions of experience.
«We inaugurate X Factor 2024 with great news – said Antonella D'Errico, Executive Vice President content Sky Italia – for an edition renewed in the artistic cast and with the constant mission of searching for true talent and helping it to blossom. There is great energy at the new judges' table, a desire to discover new musical projects, entertain and have fun. We therefore give a warm welcome to Paola, Achille and Jake, and a big welcome back to Manuel, one of the most loved judges of the X Factor. And with great satisfaction we announce an unprecedented and surprising management: Giorgia becomes part of the X Factor family. For her and her career, adjectives are never enough, we were literally overwhelmed by her desire to test herself in a new way and we are proud that she decided to do it on our stage. And I cannot help but sincerely thank our Francesca Michielin."
Registrations for the first auditions start on June 6th and 7th.
