The 2019 Eurovision Song Contest is scheduled to take place in Tel Aviv, Israel on May 14th & 16th for the Semi Finals 1 & 2 and the Finals on May 18th - this will take place at the Tel Aviv Convention Center

As of right now, 40 eligible countries have confirmed their intentions to participate in the contest.

Who is ready for another ESC season?

[ErwinG]

We are finding out the first artist today for ESC 2019 as Armenia will announce their artist ... while Cyprus already has their song selected, they are only teasing tidbits of information, but no artist yet ...

[celinefanonline]

here they will have voting to see who's gonna represent australia if i remember right it's in Feb (the voting)

[ErwinG]

Yes, that is correct - Australia will let the people chose their representative; the Australia Decides is scheduled for February 9th and there are already 4 artists confirmed; Electric Fields, Kate Miller-Heidke, Mark Vincent and Sheppard ... 6 more acts will be announced in the coming weeks.

Armenia has announced their artist and this is Srbuk; no song has been chosen as yet, maybe January/February

Estonia will have 2 Semi-Finals on January 31st and February 2nd and the Final will be on February 16th

Happy 2019 to everyone ...
