Estonia is stepping onto the stage for the first time, bringing their debut to the spotlight. And guess who’s back? Germany is storming back after a year away, ready to rock the house! This also marks the first time all of the Big Five countries will be participating together in this competition.
Young talents aged 9 to 14 will be unleasing their brand-new songs on the world stage, thanks to Lissandro’s triumphant victory in Yerevan, Armenia, last year.
We were also graced with slogan of this year’s event – “Heroes”!
Hold onto your hats, because the artwork is here to blow your mind! A kaleidoscope of vibrant, powerful colors and the dazzling explosions of paint and fireworks are not only a celebration of art but also a shout-out to every country in the mix, proudly waving their flags.
“We can’t wait to create a unique and spectacular show with outstanding contestants – true musical heroes – as we continue to spread music throughout Europe and the rest of the world, sharing our cultures and passions. We look forward to welcoming you all to Nice. The show must go on!” said Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the Maestro of Variety, Games, and Entertainment at France Télévisions.
Mark your calendars, because the extravaganza is set to unfold at the magnificent Palais Nikaïa in Nice on Sunday, November 26th, at 16:00 CET. It’s a date you won’t want to miss – the stage is set, the energy is electric, and the countdown to pure musical magic has officially begun!
