UPDATE: Sadly, we have encountered some last-minute technical issues with the upload of The Wiwi Jam At Home concert. We will NOT be able to premiere it tonight. We are devastated. But the show will go on! We are rescheduling for 18:30 CEST tomorrow. A lot of love and hard work has gone into the show and we can’t wait for y’all to see the finished project. Again, we’re so sorry that we can’t bring it to you tonight. But we promise it will be worth the wait. Consider it a pre-party for semi-final two!
Eurovision 2021 will be different from all the ones that have gone before. And while it won’t be cancelled like 2020, COVID-19 restrictions mean that many of the things we normally associate with the contest won’t be happening. However, we still intend to celebrate with the Wiwi Jam.
Just like last year, we’re moving our annual concert from the host city of Rotterdam to the internet. It will feature shout-outs and/or performances from the stars of ESC 2021.
For obvious reasons, this year’s show will follow a different formula in the sense that there is no formula. Some artists are singing their songs in their entirety, while others have chosen to send you words of encouragement during these difficult times, while performing a section of their Eurovision song.
But no contribution is too big or too small. The artists, just like all of you, face new and specific challenges. What’s important is that they are sending positivity from their home to yours and celebrating the Eurovision experience together.
The Wiwi Jam at Home concert will take place on the wiwibloggs YouTube channel the evening of Wednesday May 19 at 19:00 Rotterdam— in between the Eurovision semi-finals. The good and the great of the song contest will be celebrating their fans and each other. There are lots of surprises to be announced. See y’all there!
Last year 50 artists came together to celebrate the fans — and each other — in our three-hour musical extravaganza. It was a way to feel together even though we were all fall forced to be apart.
