On April 18 — that’s next Saturday — Eurovision in Concert will stage its seventh edition. The annual event, which is considered the first major dress rehearsal for Eurovision, will feature at least 23 Eurovision 2015 acts including Måns Zelmerlöw, Morland & Debrah Scarlett, Guy Sebastian and Elnur Huseynov. It will also mark the first time we hear Guy and Knez sing their songs live. We have a feeling it’s going to be better than ever: Lucky number seven, y’all!
Dutch Eurovision commentator Cornald Maas and two time Dutch representative Edsilia Rombley will co-host. Special guests Bobbysocks! will reprise their Eurovision 1985 winning song “La det swinge”.
For more details, visit the official Eurovision in Concert web site.
We’ll be at the event asking the stars your questions, so please comment below with anything that’s on your mind!

Question for Ann Sophie:
”What does the song mean to you and how are you preparing for the big Final?”
I just hope that Ann Sophie knows that she didn’t won cause Andreas rejected because of personal issues. She won because she has an amazing song and that alot of people are behind her. Germany will do great in the final, mark my words ;p
i don’t care about these concerts, it’s about Vienna and not those stupid concerts
Malta has their own concert, with former entries and Amber being the main act. it gives the maltese people the chance to wave out Amber for Vienna.
does anyone know if there are other ticket agencies that one can get tickets ….even though this is sold out ie “package deals”
I have to admit that I skipped the chance to go to this and the London party at the cramped Cafe de Paris. When there are that many acts all doing at least one song and you’re struggling to get a good view, it’s endurance rather than entertainment. We need venues with seating.
Where on earth are Italy? Are they this confident to not promote at all? Marco Mengoni attended at least 1 of these events & managed to finish Top 10. My gosh, Il Volo are WASTING their oppurtunity to expand internationally like Emma & Germany did last year!!
Questions for Elnur Huseynov.
“Having participated in Eurovision in 2008, what is one thing you learnt you should do & one thing you learnt you should not do?”
“How did you end up with the brilliant song, The Hour of the Wolf? Did you choose it? If so, what was special about this song?”
YES! Norway:)
So many absences? Russia? Italy, Portugal, Spain…?
Yet again, Ireland dont attend, the same thing happened last year. Hence why they always manage to fail, because there is never enough publicity, advertising or interviews around them. We dont hear anything from the Irish representative until we see them in the semi final, compared to other acts who tour, give live performances and appear at events such as this. Jedward had massive publicity in 2011 with billboards all over Germany, interviews and stuff and look, they came 8th.
Stupid RTE always trying to cut costs and save money…yet pay their well-known presenters extortionist wages.
probably Poland will take part too.
WOW! Sweden?? NIIIIIIICEEE!!!!
Sadly no Il Volo, but that was expected, they are the bussiest act (I’m still surprised that they said yes to ESC xD)
Anyone in the first semi will benefit since increased exposure means a better chance in the more difficult Semi-Final…
Hope to see some videos to see how some of them improved since rearranging their songs!
I’d like to hear what Eurovision means to each artist you interview and what they see in the next decade in terms of music and spectacle—will it get even bigger and better with even higher quality songs?
Spain will not take part in this concert finally

That’s one great lineup, I’m really jealous of anyone with a ticket.
Great lineup! Looking forward to the videos!
No Belgium, Malta? No Estonia? Spain?
I expected them to go.
