Hasn’t it been confirmed that Sanremo will take place from the 1st to 5th of February?
I thought JESC is on december 19th?
when do the rehearsals start in the stadium? will you be streaming all rehearsals?
The rehearsals start on the 8th of May (aka. this upcoming Saturday). I can’t speak for Wiwibloggs, but the official Eurovision channel will no doubt upload the rehearsal footage like they always do.
Hi, if it starts at 7am New Zealand time, what time does it end? Having a party at my place to watch
It looks like the 2021 grand final is going to be about four hours long, so it should finish around 11am NZ time. Enjoy your Sunday morning party!
The semis are 2 hours and the final is 4. Wed Fri Sun. All 3 live on youtube
So… how is Belarus going to reveal their entry now, if there even is one? They haven’t officially withdrawn yet ^^’
I assume they’re just disqualified, since they haven’t submitted valid entry before March 15th
They have special permit to give a song till and of March
It’s already known that Natalia Gordienko’s song (Sugar) will be released on March 8th. Same date as Senhit’s release
[…] Calendar […]
What about San Marino ?
Why is there Montenegro’s flag next to North Macedonia?
Guys from the US, how you are going to watch Eurovision this year? This article https://medium.com/@grant.cerr/how-to-watch-eurovision-in-the-us-2019-free-705712ed0ab4 says that it is only possible with a VPN. Is that true?
I always watch the SVT broadcast online
Will there be a lifestream of Moscow pre-party?
Will there be a live stream of the Madrid pre-party?
Where is it possible to see Semifinal 1 in Madrid
tomorrow???
when will the rehearsals start??
.
When is the draw for the running orders please? Is it on the red carpet?
8th March Albania?!! Please don’t tell me Jonida is changing her song to English… It’s already good the way it is!
Of Courteney it k? ir iesp?jams
is azerbijan song relaese today ? Yess or no?
Hello everyone, does anyone know where we can get the link to watch Melodi Grand Prix tonight? Thanks
They’re not doing an sf because of low viewership numbers, I think.
March 7: The Netherlands – song revealed
Could you please put the UK, Slovenian and Latvian grand finals in bold letters? I get confused when skimming through the list. ^^’
What time will the final take place – Israel time?
I love this calendar, just wondering if anyone has it in an importable google calendar?
Festivali i Këngës 57 dates are missing: 20, 21 and 22 December

hey there, will there be a wiwijam or something? when and where will that be?
what is wiwi jam if you dont mind answering?
@Unofficial Mansters Association
Never mind. 🙂
@ (J)ESC Fanatic
Oh, I see then… sorry for the late reply. 🙂
@Unofficial Månsters Association
I think all countries must have sent the final version of their entries to EBU in the 13th of March, but they can reveal it to the public whenever they like.
Wait… so I’m just wondering… why does Germany get to reveal their official entry a month (or about a month) after the deadline for all entries to be revealed? :/
the deadline is for songs to be released to the EBU not for releasing of the songs.
they can release the song whenever
Ooooh, I didn’t even realize we’d be deciding/announcing so much next week! 🙂
#excited
I don’t understand why there is a picture of Conchita in the link to this calendar….she won in 2014…..(and do we really need to be reminded…?) )
maybe u could create some google calendar, that all could subscribe it there? 🙂

Hey Wiwibloggs, could you insert this calendar in the “Eurovision 2017” section along with the Participating countries list?
It’s a little hard to find the calendar, but it’s really useful 🙂
can this go on the sidebar? it’s really useful
Wiwibloggs, Spain deadline is on November 27th, not on October 27th.
Wiwifriends, isn’t running order announced on 5th April? You’ve written 8th April, and EBU has said it is going to be announced on Tuesday, ergo April 5th (today)
What about Serbia, Australia and Croatia? Anything yet?
When’s the running order allocation draw? Austria’s in 14th but is it today or another day? I NEED to know, NEED to know, so my Eurovision Song Contest 2015 bracket will be complete. F**k the NBA Finals bracket. The ESC’s where it’s at!
