After the announcement of The Jackal hosts of the PrimaFestival, during the 8pm edition of Tg1 tonight, comes the announcement on the hosting of the ControFestival: the broadcast that will replace the DopoFestival will be entrusted to Gialappa's Band, the protagonist of a space that will accompany the public at the end of the Festival evenings with the usual ironic and irreverent style that has characterized the television story for years. This was made known again by De Martino, the protagonist of a video created for the occasion in which he plays the role of a Tg1 journalist who breaks the news of the disappearance of DopoFestival: a game of make-believe and self-irony, interrupted by the unmistakable voices of the Gialappa's Band duo, which accompanies the revelation of the last piece of the editorial offer linked to the Festival.

With the announcement of the 'ControFestival' the circle of broadcasts connected to Sanremo 2027 closes, completing a multi-platform and multi-program story system capable of accompanying the public before, during and after the Festival evenings, enhancing the contents, protagonists and most significant moments. The presence of Gialappa's Band at the helm of the 'ControFestival', we read in a note from Rai, "further enriches an offer that aims to involve different audiences, combining the story of the race with a light, original and contemporary look at the most followed television event of the year".
