Måneskin is all set for their debut performance on
Saturday Night Live next week as the show's next musical guest. It will be the
latest in a string of recent performances on US television shows by the Italian
band and 2021 Eurovision champions.
Next Saturday (January
22), Måneskin will perform two songs on
the long-running US comedy show. The show will be hosted by MacGruber and ‘The
Last Man On Earth’ actor Will Forte, who was once a part of the cast of
Saturday Night Live.
“Don’t miss next
Saturday the 22nd, our live performance at the @nbc’s Saturday Night Live
show,” the band wrote on Twitter. “Can’t wait @nbcsnl.”
Måneskin will embark on their 2022 UK and European
tour in the weeks following their SNL appearance, beginning on February 6 at
London's O2 Academy Brixton before heading to the continent for 15 shows that
will continue until mid-March in the Latvian capital of Riga. The London
concert has already sold out all the tickets.
Speaking to NME last
year about their plans for the future, Måneskin said: “This was our biggest
dream, so we still can’t believe what’s going on. We really want to do our best
to keep the attention by writing new music and trying to do some gigs in Europe
and beyond.
“We’re working hard
and we just want to play everywhere. We’re just figuring out how to manage
everything.”
In other SNL news, Bleachers were the musical guests on 15th January show, performing 'How Dare You Want More' with upcoming talent Blu DeTiger, indie-rock icon Claud, and frontman Jack Antonoff's father Rick on stage. On the episode, which was hosted by Ariana DeBose of West Side Story, the band also performed their Bruce Springsteen duet 'Chinatown' minus The Boss.

Bleachers appeared on the show after rapper Roddy Ricch was forced to cancel his scheduled performance in the days leading up to the broadcast after members of his team were exposed to COVID-19.
