Amici 2026: Previews, Guests and Evening Access – A Comprehensive Update

As February progresses, anticipation builds for the upcoming episode of Amici, scheduled to air on Sunday, February 22, 2026, on Channel 5. Who will secure the coveted shirt and advance to the next phase of Mediaset’s flagship talent show? Here’s a detailed look at the latest news, and spoilers.

Previews: Guests on Amici

The upcoming episode promises a lineup of esteemed judges and musical guests. In recent weeks, the program has featured prominent singers evaluating the talents and showcasing their own operate. With the approach of Sanremo 2026, securing guest appearances has presented challenges, but the show continues to deliver notable performers.

The judging panel will consist of randomly selected audience members – three for singing and two for dancing – chosen in collaboration with the teachers, Celentano for dance and Lorella for singing. Fiorella Mannoia and Eleonora Abbagnato will provide support.

The musical guest for this week is Care.

Evening Amici 25: Who Can Access It?

Last week, Emiliano, Alex, and Michele earned the highly sought-after shirts, granting them access to the Evening stage. This week, the focus shifts to which other students will join them. The professors will deliberate to determine which students will advance.

Angie performed, hoping to secure a shirt. She sang “Die on this hill” accompanied by piano, repeating the performance after initially becoming anxious and looking towards teacher Pettinelli. Zerbi was visibly moved by her performance.

Simone presented two dance choreographies. However, Emanuel Lo did not offer positive feedback, believing Simone was capable of more compelling performances. One choreography was performed to the tune of “Planets.”
