Eurovision is back in full force: Take a peek at this year’s singers

Thanks to the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic that swept the entire world last year, the highly anticipated annual Eurovision event was cancelled. However, this year, Eurovision will be back and better than ever, and all the talented singers have had more than enough time to prepare themselves for the special event. Want to know which musicians to expect? Let’s take a peek at some of them here. 

Eurovision 2021

First and foremost, let’s talk details such as what Eurovision is, when the dates are, and what the singers will be doing. If you’re not familiar with what’s going on, Eurovision is a song contest that is hosted by the European Broadcasting Union every year (except for last one) and features singers representing countries from all over the world. It’s an event that brings together all types of people from different countries. 

In the last competition back in 2019 held in Tel Aviv, Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands won with his song “Arcade”, giving the Netherlands their fifth Eurovision victory. As of this year, singers will gather in the Dutch city of Rotterdam in Ahoy Arena for Eurovision 2021, and Dutch stars Chantal Janzen, Jan Smit, Edsilia Rombley, and NikkieTutorials will be hosting. 

The final contest is scheduled for May 22nd, 2021, with the first semi-final taking place on May 18th and the second semi-final taking place on May 20th. This year, thirty-nine singers/groups are expected to perform at Eurovision. Which lucky one will be taking home the grand prize though?
