They’re the band that are more than just friends of a friend of a friend. The Czech Republic’s Lake Malawi have stolen hearts all across Europe in the run-up to Eurovision 2019, where they’ll be performing “Friend of a Friend” in the first semi-final.
And now, the trio will be stealing our hearts all over again as they bring their charm to the Wiwi Jam on May 15th at Tel Aviv’s Theatre Club.
Lake Malawi joins a growing list of artists who will hit our stage. So far they include Cyprus’ Tamta, Australia’s Kate Miller-Heidke, Portugal’s Conan Osiris, France’s Bilal Hassani, Greece’s Katerine Duska, Belgium’s Eliot, Israel’s premier cabaret act Eurofalsh, Slovenia’s Zala & Gasper, Sweden’s John Lundvik, singer-songwriter Laurell Barker, Finland’s Darude & Sebastian Rejman, Latvia’s supernova veteran Markus Riva, Canadian singer-songwriter Laurell, Aidan Cassar from Malta, Estonia’s Victor Crone, San Marino’s Serhat, Serbia’s Nevena Bozovic, Cypriot legend Alex Panayi, and Eurovision 2015 winner Måns Zelmerlöw.
More names will be revealed in the days ahead. Get ready and get your tickets while they last. It’s less than a week away!
The Wiwi Jam 2019 at Theatre Club
Our not-to-miss evening of songs, selfies and slayage returns in 2019 at the stunning Theatre Club. The event will take place on Wednesday May 15 from 22:00 and runs until the sun comes up. If you’re attending the semi-final 2 jury show, there will be PLENTY for you to see afterwards at the Wiwi Jam. As in recent years, we’ll have more than a dozen acts keen to celebrate the fandom. We’ll be spinning non-stop Eurovision tracks in between acts.
The Theatre Club is a large dance club and music venue located in Jaffa, just a five-minute walk from Eurovision Village and Charles Clore Park. The historic building served as a theatre in the early 20th century and today welcomes up to 1,500 people for music events and red carpet celebrations. It should look very familiar to our viewers: it served as host venue of Israel Calling 2016 and 2017.
Tickets for the one-night extravaganza cost 20 euros. That’s 15 euros for the ticket + a small booking fee.
