There are a couple familiar names competing in the Grand Final!

Achille Lauro is fresh off the Sanremo stage where he competed with the song 'Domenica' where he was joined by the Harlem Gospel Choir from the US. The Italian singer/rapper often performs in some outlandish outfits so he will be one to watch for sure.

Sammarinese artist Miodio will be returning for a second shot at representing San Marino at the Eurovision Song Contest. Miodio was the micro-nation's first ever representative back in 2008 with the song 'Complice'.

'Una Voce per San Marino' will be held at the Teatro Nuovo in Dogana. It will be hosted by Jonathan Kashanian and the amazing Freaky Queen, Senhit (San Marino Eurovision representative 2021 and 2011).

Voting will 100% jury vote. The jury includes Mogol (President of the Jury), Dino Stewart (Managing Director at BMG Italy), Susanne Georgi (singer at Eurovision 2009 for Andorra), Simon Lee (conductor, composer, arranger) and Clarissa Martinelli (presenter at Radio Bruno).

Al Bano has been announced as a guest performer. He represented Italy at Eurovision back in 1976 and 1985.
