The Festival is organised by E20Sanremo with the support of Unoenergy. A completely revamped festival, and a programme spread over eight months, from 13 April to 26 October.

Leading the artistic direction is internationally renowned guitarist Diego Campagna, who has selected a shortlist of artists of the highest level. Among the top names are Marcus Miller, the funk icon known as ‘The Superman of Soul’, Richard Bona, world music legend, the great drummer Dave Weckl and historic formations such as the Yellowjackets. Together with them, also Fabrizio Bosso, Frank Gambale, Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, Ida Nielsen & The Funkbots, Peter Erskine and Mike Mainieri, to name but a few.

The concerts will take place mainly in two exceptional venues: the Teatro dell'Opera del Casinò di Sanremo and the Auditorium Franco Alfano, offering an immersive musical experience in highly evocative settings.

The festival's production is curated by Mara De Scalzi, with the support of the association Le Muse Novae and Mus'Art, while the collaboration with the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra strengthens the bond with the territory, creating special events in which jazz meets the symphony orchestra in the evocative Alfano Park.

Admission to the events at the Opera House will be free of charge, subject to online booking. Concerts performed with the Symphony Orchestra will instead be chargeable, with tickets purchasable on sinfonicasanremo.it.

Supporting the event is Unoenergy, a group that has been active in the energy sector for over 20 years, thus reaffirming its commitment to the culture and development of the region.
