Yes, the Eurovision song contest is back in full swing and that means the official parties are coming closer! After the huge success of last year's 'Unplugged 2' night, when France, UK, Spain and Monaco co-hosted an 'acappella night' where most of the Eurovision Song Contest entrants participated, the Big Four are joining forces this year for the third annual 'Unplugged'.

The event will take place at the Technopolis bar/club in Athens between 8-10pm on Tuesday 16th May.It isopen to all accreditation holders including fans with accreditation. There is an open invitation to all participants to come down and share the stage during the evening with Virgine Pouchain (France), Texas Lightning (Germany), Daz Sampson (UK)and Las Ketchup (Spain).

The co-hosts of the party will be commentators Paddy O'Connell (UK), Beatriz Pecker (Spain), Bruno Berberes (France) and Peter Urban (Germany).

Earlier this week we exlusively revealed some of Daz Sampson's plans for the night. He will be performing more than just Teenage life, and has invited a fan from the United Kingdom to go on stage with him to play the harmonica. We are awaiting further news about what Las Ketchup, Virginie and Texas Lightning have in store, but you can bet they won't want to be outdone!
