Sweden is killing the competition.. John Lundvik is amazing!
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?
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??
The rehearsal schedule hasn’t been published yet, but it is likely to be the week before the live shows, around Monday 6 May – or possible a few days earlier.
When is the draw for the running orders please? Is it on the red carpet?
The only country who draws for the running order is the host country. Israel drew their grand final position at the HoD meeting earlier this week. The running order of the semi-finals is determined by the show producers and is expected to be announced some time in April. The allocation draw for the grand final halves traditionally takes place at the qualifiers press conference after directly each semi-final. In some years, the Big 5 have drawn their halves on the red carpet at the opening ceremony. The running order for the grand final is usually announced late at night after… Read more »
8th March Albania?!! Please don’t tell me Jonida is changing her song to English… It’s already good the way it is!
I believe they’re keeping it in Albanian. The Eurovision version will be under the three-minute time limit. The last reports were of an orchestra being used, so it sounds like they’re keeping the big FiK sound. Very promising!
Of Courteney it k? ir iesp?jams
is azerbijan song relaese today ? Yess or no?
It turns out they’re only releasing a teaser today. The full song will drop on 8 March.
Hello everyone, does anyone know where we can get the link to watch Melodi Grand Prix tonight? Thanks
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?
The official start time hasn’t been confirmed, but based on previous years it’s pretty much guaranteed to be 20:00 BST, 21:00 CEST, 22:00 IDT.
I love this calendar, just wondering if anyone has it in an importable google calendar?
O melodie pentru Europa, Grand final and Semi final both at 2th March?
They’re not doing an sf because of low viewership numbers, I think.
Festivali i Këngës 57 dates are missing: 20, 21 and 22 December

Where will the semifinals of Eesti Laul be held
Short answer: we don’t know yet. For 2019, the semi-finals will be broadcast live and the broadcaster is looking to hold them in locations other than Tallinn, but these locations have not been confirmed yet. 🙂
hey there, will there be a wiwijam or something? when and where will that be?
We will indeed be holding a Wiwi Jam in Lisbon (yaaaay!). Details haven’t been released yet, but when everything is confirmed we will post about it here and on social media.
what is wiwi jam if you dont mind answering?
This reply comes four months late (sorry!) but it’s worth replying in case anyone wants to know. The Wiwi Jam is a live music event held during Eurovision week in the host city. We invite competing artists and other Eurovision icons to perform their entries. It’s a super fun event, and if you ever get the chance to go, you should – we love to see Wiwi readers there!
@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! 🙂

MoreMusicLessGlamourPlease: “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…?) )”
As we look forward to Eurovision 2017, we like to celebrate the previous winners of the song contest.
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? 🙂

R+, mocosuburbian: Good idea, y’all! This page is now linked from two places. It’s in the top menu bar above, and on the home page you’ll find it in the right column. I’m glad you’re finding our calendar useful!
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?
[…] editing the NaNo Western, entertaining the hardcore Eurovision fans with commentary on the vast schedule of qualifiers, and possibly stepping up my work as your Pi Towers North correspondent. […]
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!
