The wait for the 2026 Sanremo Festival lights up with the arrival of the TotoFestival, the new section of the popular FantaSanremo which transforms curiosity into competition. The idea is simple but irresistible: try to guess who will go on stage at the Ariston before Carlo Conti’s traditional announcement on Tg1, scheduled between 23 and 30 November.
To participate, simply connect to the official website fantasanremo.com or access via the app, enter the dedicated section and fill out your virtual “slip”. Each user will be able to choose five artists from the predefined list or manually enter other names that they consider eligible for the cast. The game, free and without material prizes, offers the satisfaction of being able to boast of having “guessed” the choices of the artistic director.

Rules and spirit of the new contest
The TotoFestival presents itself as a perfect appetizer while waiting for the official regulations of Fantasanremo 2026, a competition that has now become an integral part of the musical event. Its spirit is to involve the public, transforming every fan into a little Carlo Conti capable of betting on rumours, indiscretions and intuitions.
Once the form has been filled out, participants will be able to download their prediction and share it on social media, tagging the official accounts and the selected artists. The initiative, active since November 11th, has already sparked the imagination of fans, ready to challenge each other with predictions.
Special bonuses to remember Baudo and Vessicchio
This edition of FantaSanremo will also be marked by a touching tribute to two legends of the Festival: Pippo Baudo and Peppe Vessicchio, both of whom passed away this year. The organizers have created special bonuses that have not yet been revealed to pay homage to the host who made the history of Sanremo and the orchestra master who directed its musical soul. Baudo, the symbolic face of the Festival, and Vessicchio, much loved by the public and artists, thus become an integral part of the game, two “bonus icons” that celebrate the cultural and emotional legacy of the event.
