MILAN, THE STARS LIGHT UP! ANNALISA, CAN YAMAN AND POOH AT THE FESTIVAL DELLO SPETTACOLO

Admit it: at least once, in front of the television, you thought "How I'd like to be there!" Listen to a singer tell how a song is born. Find out if an actor really has something in common with his character. Laugh with whom, usually, enters the living room through a screen. In November Milan offers an opportunity to turn that curiosity into an exit to be put on the agenda.

The Show Festival, signed by TV Sorrisi and Songs, returns from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 November 2026 at Superstudio Più, in Via Tortona 27. It is the second edition: the organizers announce more than 80 appointments and more than 100 protagonists among television, music and cinema. The interesting promise, for those who look, is the time to listen to people behind the roles we know.

A festival, lots of passions: how it works

The program alternates meetings, interviews, showcases, masterclasses and moments with casts. You can build a day by following a precise passion or mixing everything: a TV face, a bit of music, a meeting on cinema. There is no need to come up with a competence from the critics of the show. Just want to find out something.

The three main stages are Sorrisi Arena, Sorrisi Stage and Sorrisi Club. The programme checked on 4 November also includes an Off Stage area for interviews, meet-and-greets and book signings. Some activities take place at the same time: semicolons in the programme below separate appointments in their respective spaces. Choose two or three must-see events and leave time for a break.

Opening hours: Friday from 12:00; Saturday and Sunday from 10:00. Closing at 21:00.

Stars are here. But what kind of meeting do you expect?

A scheduled meeting does not automatically equal a full concert or an individual meeting. The festival includes different formats: talk, showcase, interviews and activities with the public. Reading the schedule of the appointment you are interested in helps you understand what you are choosing and how to organize the day.

Among the announced names there are also faces such as Antonella Clerici, Caterina Balivo, Marco Bocci, Paolo Bonolis and Sal Da Vinci. The list of guests allows to start with the people; the daily program is used to check where and when they will be present. They are two tools to use together, especially if you buy a ticket for a specific artist.

The best thing for us is to leave room for a discovery. You can come in and listen to a voice you love and stop at a meeting you didn't expect. A well asked question, the story of a trade or a shared laughter can remain as a photograph.

Getting in the game: from cakes to objects to be evaluated

There will also be activities linked to TV formats. The organisers announce a cake-decorating experience in the world of Bake Off Italy and Buy It Now Experience, with Gabriele Corsi and judges Stefano D’Onghia, Giorgio Mastrota and Mara Maionchi. The official programme requires registration and an invention description sent to info@ilfestivaldellospettacolo.it, so selection is not automatic. There will also be personal-item appraisals with Cash or Trash, consultations with the Casa a Prima Vista agents and activities connected with relationship formats.

If you are curious about one of these experiences, look at the directions before arriving with a cake, object or idea under your arm: the announcement of an activity does not clarify applications, selections and availability on its own. The ticket and the possible participation in a specific experience shall be checked under the respective conditions.

Smiles Lab: a space for those who dream of working in the show

The project includes Sorrisi Lab, the training area, with workshops and masterclasses. Next to the famous faces, the festival also wants to give visibility to those who are starting, through paths dedicated to music and cinema.

The Vertical Music Contest, realized with Interproject, enhances unpublished songs through videos: for the winner is announced a distribution contract with ADA Music Italy. The applications indicated in the summer launch were due on September 15: in October the interest is to follow the path to the stage, without confusing the appointment with a new opening of the registrations.

The film competition is divided into Frame Stories for short films, Opera Next for feature films and Docu Horizon for documentaries, with the Sorrisi Award. It's a part of the festival to keep an eye on if you love to discover a story before it becomes the title everyone talks about.

The advice of CHIARA!: if you dream of a creative job, it brings a concrete question. How do you prepare an audition? How does a project change when comparison comes? What do you learn from a job that doesn't work? Listening carefully is also a way to start orienting yourself.

How much are the tickets? Daily or subscription

The official sale is on Ticketmaster. Ticket for one day and subscription for all three are available. The presentation reports report daily from 18 euros and subscription to 45 euros: before the purchase check the price of the chosen date and the total in the cart, with any commission or promotional conditions.

Go to the official ticket page ↗.

Accessibility, families and information to know before

The festival is aimed at people of all ages. For those who go with children, choosing some appointments and planning breaks makes the day easier; the organizers also announce a space dedicated to Geronimo Stilton. The general programme should be accompanied by information on individual activities.

Accessibility: The FAQs provide free tickets for people with disabilities and a companion, on request to the organization and with limited seats. At the check on 1 November, the site reports that the dedicated seats available are exhausted. For clarification on access possibilities and specific needs, the reference is info@ilfestivaldellospettacolo.it.

FAQs also indicate that pets are not allowed. Before leaving, read the entry conditions and updates: it is a small check that avoids discovering a rule only at the gates.

How to get to Superstudio More than Milan

The destination is via Tortona 27. The location site indicates the stops M2 Porta Genova and Sant'Agostino and M4 California as references to reach Superstudio More. Choose the most suitable walking route from the point of arrival and check the service of the means on the day of the visit.

For those who use the car, the location signals between the nearby parking lot MUDEC Parking and Metropark Porta Genova. Check rates, availability and rules of access to the area before leaving. If you have more alternatives, compare the total travel time: the route also includes parking and walking to the entrance.

A small useful organization: easily recoverable ticket on the phone, a meeting point agreed with those who come with you and a few minutes margin between the arrival and the first meeting. So you can start the day by looking around.

Two more euros, one more option: the link with ActionAid

There is a detail we like to tell. ActionAid is Official Charity Partner of the festival: at the time of purchase on Ticketmaster you can choose to add a donation of 2 euros to support its projects, with particular attention to the right to education of children and girls in Italy and around the world.

It is an optional donation, distinct from the ticket price. If you decide to join, check that the choice is correctly reported in the purchase summary. A small, concrete gesture that can accompany a day designed to have fun.

The gaze of CHIARA! " Joy finds space even in simple things: a song sung together, an afternoon with a friend, the curiosity of knowing a story. For those who believe, saying thank God can pass from these moments. And realizing others can give that joy an extra direction.

What day is it for you?

Friday, if you want to leave with the opening and arrive at the final with the judges of X Factor. Saturday, if there are Can Yaman and Annalisa in your list and you like to alternate fiction, cooking and music. Sunday, if you imagine an afternoon that goes from curiosity to music, to closing with Gabry Ponte.

Our proposal is to choose the company and the meetings that make you feel good, without turning the program into a race to collect presences. Look at the timetable, book what you need, leave a little space to the unexpected. And enjoy the chance to be there.

The lists show a selection of the main appointments.
