The Eurovision Song Contest, a tradition uniting European nations since 1956, is embarking on a groundbreaking venture. For the very first time, the competition will have an Asian version. Ten countries have already officially confirmed their participation in this exciting development.
These participating countries include South Korea, Bhutan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and the Philippines. The competition’s official website announced that many more countries will join before the November final. Each nation will initially host their national selections, a crucial step before the grand finale.
The final event will take place in Bangkok, scheduled for live broadcast on November 14th. It’s a significant moment for the Eurovision brand. “On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest, it seems especially important to us to start a new chapter with Asia – a region with a rich culture and many talents,” the announcement stated.
This expansion represents a major milestone, bringing the Eurovision experience to a wider global audience. Permission is required to integrate social media and third-party content.
