The new jury of X Factor 2025 is born today: Achille Lauro, Francesco Gabbani, Jake La Furia and Paola Iezzi are the four judges of the edition expected in September on Sky and streaming on NOW.
Giorgia's confirmation as host has already been announced. Manuel Agnelli, one of the judges with the highest number of editions under his belt, who last year led one of his artists, the very young Mimì, to victory, leaves the quartet.
For Francesco Gabbani it is an absolute debut in a talent show: singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and multi-platinum artist, in his career he has released six studio albums collecting 13 platinum records and 4 gold records. At the Sanremo Festival he won on two occasions: in 2016 in the New Proposals category with Amen (with which he also won the Mia Martini Critics' Award, in addition to the platinum record) and the following year among the Big with Occidentali's Karma. He also hosted on TV, in prime time, two editions of Ci vuole un fiore.
The recordings of the first auditions will begin next week in Milan.
