Show Notes

With stand-in rehearsals underway in the Stadthalle in Vienna we chat to the creative team behind six of this year's performances.

Dan Shipton and Ross Nicholson from Black Skull Creative tell us more about their plans for Albania, Australia, Austria, Malta, Montenegro and San Marino, including some of the most ambitious staging we've ever seen at the Eurovision Song Contest. They also explain the importance of stand-in rehearsals, more behind the scenes gossip, and what it's like to work with AIDAN, Delta Goodrem and more.

This year we're delighted to be teaming up with the Europarty app to help you bring even more enjoyment to this year's Eurovision season.
