Eurovision 60th anniversary Show

[EDC0708]

Wikipedia has now confirmed four of the participating entries (it's still not clear if this will be a competition or more of a concert.)

Israel 1998 - Diva - Dana International
Finland 2006 - Hard Rock Hallelujah - Lordi
Sweden 2012 - Euphoria - Loreen
Austria 2014 - Rise Like a Phoenix - Conchita Wurst

I don't know what entry UK will go for, we've had five winning entries, but they are all very dated now.

Edit: The BBC webpage lists some other confirmed performers:

Very excited about the show! I can't wait to see who else will be joining the festivities

I am still confused about the date.
Why before the 60th edition?

Maybe I'll have to go on to the wikipedia page and add some more confirmed artists. I'm thinking Joy Fleming, Remedios Amaya, Peter, Sue & Marc and Domenico Modugno.

 

[Leydan]

The bottom 3 shouldn't be on the wikipedia page because the BBC haven't confirmed them.

Why?

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

It also says Herreys (Sweden 1984) and Natasha St-Pier (France 2001).

My guessing is that the most likely for us would be Katrina & the Waves, Gina G and Bucks Fizz.

 

[Leydan]

Why?

It doesn't say. Which is surprising considering they take part in almost every form of eurovsion.

 

[Leydan]

Can Someone make my first post stick to the top of every page on this thread please?

 

[lilka]

Even Australia will broadcast it, and Poland will not. No words for that. xdoh

They haven't confirmed either way yet?

Edit: Even bulgaria is broadcasting it. They hang on in there! Bulgaria, the little could that could.

I wonder how the seating's going to go. Im guessing it will be first come first served, apparently people from the likes of Bosnia wouldnt get a chance to go because they wont be able to get a visa in time.

Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Turkey, Moldova & Israel you need a visa. A long with Bosnia as well. I don't expect there to all too many from those countries anyway considering the short notice.

I hope it's not all Brits tho otherwise it wont feel like a proper Eurovision thing

That's what I'm thinking, will the Brits monopolize it? and it turns into something like The proms with the occasional Norweigan & Dutch flag in the audience.

I guess we might get a few Eurofreaks from the West

I expect a healthy showing from the Irish, French, Belgian and Dutch. It's fairly easy to get here quickly from those countries.

Three more acts confirmed, including one of the rumoured acts from yesterday.
