That’s why we want to have a real Swedish party in Riga, so everyone can  feel like they’re in Sweden, like at Eurovision.

About Eurovision Pre Party Riga.

The very first Eurovision Pre-Party Riga was held in March 2014 with only 3 participants taking part, having gained great  interest among fans and press, due to the fact that one of the participants was the  2014 Austrian representative Conchita Wurst, who went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen. The 2nd edition of the Latvian event  was held on April 10, 2015 at the Palladium Concert Hall, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Eurovision Song Contest. A total of 8 acts from Eurovision 2016 attended the concert last year, along with  many special guests including 3 ESC winners: Alexander Rybak (Eurovision 2009- Norway),  Marie N (Eurovision 2012-Latvia) and Eldar Gasimov (Eurovision 2011- Azerbaijan).
