About the show

Krista Siegfrieds will be hosting tonight’s show where Eurovision fans will be able to watch all the Eurovision 2021 Semi-finalist’s ‘Live On Tape‘ performances.

  1. Slovenia
  2. Australia
  3. North Macedonia
  4. Croatia
  5. Romania
  6. Estonia
  7. Czech Republic
  8. Austria
  9. Poland
  10. Georgia
  11. Latvia
  12. Denmark

We will not see the ‘Live on Tape‘ performances of the United Kingdom and Ireland as their respective acts prefer the fans to remember them through their Eurovision performances in Rotterdam.

The ‘Live On Tape‘ performances were recorded prior to the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest in order to guarantee that the artist and country would compete in case the delegation would not be able to travel to Rotterdam or would be on quarantine on location. As was the case of Australia and Montaigne, who ended up using their ‘Live On Tape‘ performance as they didn’t travel to Rotterdam.

The second part of the show will be broadcast tomorrow Saturday 29 May.

The 2021 Eurovision Song Contest was held on 18, 20 and 22 May at the Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
