One of the biggest Eurovision parties, is going to take place this November in Amsterdam, for the third year in a row.

The great concert, which is going to take place in November 16, called Het Grote Songfestivalfeest, is a co-production of the Dutch public broadcaster AVROTROS with PILOTSTUDIO, with many Eurostars as guests!

Earlier today, it was announced that the one and only Eleni Foureira will perform at the big concert in Amsterdam. Eleni represented Cyprus in 2018 with her song “Fuego” and ended in 2nd place, giving Cyprus its best result in the contest so far. She was not able to perform at last year’s concert due to her pregnancy, but now, as part of her “Reborn Tour”, Eleni is ready to set fuego to the stage, once again.

Some other Eurostars that are confirmed to be part of the concert are: Verka Serduchka (Ukraine 2008), Charlotte Perelli (Sweden 1999 & 2008), Emmelie de Forest (Denmark 2013) and Johnny Logan (Ireland 1980 & 1987), with many more to come!

Het Grote Songfestivalfeest will take pace in November 17 in the Ziggo Dome arena in Amsterdam, while it will also be broadcasted by the Dutch public television, at a later time.

The videos are no longer available online, but you can watch the performances from last year’s concert, that we secured for you from the inside of the arena:

Will we see Eleni Foureira in Eurovision 2019?

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Greek magazine TV Ethnos reports today, that Eleni Foureira will appear as a guest at the next Eurovision Song Contest in Israel.

There are no more details, such as whether we will see her in the final or in one of the semifinals, or whether she will appear on her own or with an other artist.

The great success of Elena Foureira and Fuego, especially among the fans of the contest, seems to have prompted the organizers to make that decision. However, if we see Eleni Foureira at Eurovision 2019, this will be the first time that a host country calls as guest the runner up of the previous contest.

Eleni Foureira, in the past few days, has been in Madrid, performing at the Los 40 Music Awards. She sang a different version of Fuego, equally impressive as the original.

The popular Greek artist, received also a platinum record for the sales of Fuego in Spain.

Would you like to see Eleni Foureira again on the Eurovision stage as a guest?
