Posted March 21, 20205 yr There are already quite a lot of these, and it's all the Eurovision community has to talk about right now, so rather than them getting lost in the cancelled thread, how about a tracking thread for artists that are confirmed for returning next year, and perhaps also those that aren't. Already confirmed (updated to 20th January): Australia: Montaigne Austria: Vincent Bueno Azerbaijan: Efendi Belgium: Hooverphonic Bulgaria: Victoria Czech Republic: Benny Cristo Georgia: Tornikke Kipiani Greece: Stefania Iceland: Daði Freyr Ireland: Lesley Roy Israel: Eden Latvia: Samanta Tina Malta: Destiny Moldova: Natalia Gordienko Netherlands: Jeangu Macrooy North Macedonia: Vasil Romania: Roxen San Marino: Senhit Serbia: Hurricane Slovenia: Ana Soklič Spain: Blas Canto Switzerland: Gjon's Tears Ukraine: Go_A Confirmed to be rerunning the national final, with the 2020 act invited to take part in some cases: Albania Croatia Denmark Estonia Finland Lithuania Norway Portugal Sweden Confirmed to be going with a different artist: Albania Belarus Croatia Cyprus Denmark France Germany Norway Portugal All with new songs of course. I think Sweden and Estonia are the only ones who've confirmed that they will be running their NFs again next year with no guarantee for The Mamas and Uku unless I've missed someone.
March 21, 20205 yr I *really* hope Daði Freyr and The Roop return! I'd be very surprised if Daði doesn't actually.
March 21, 20205 yr I hope Efendi can come back with another banger next year. So weird to not have it as Eurovision classic. And WHAT DO WE DO WITH 2020 in terms of like rankings and stuff?
March 21, 20205 yr I *really* hope Daði Freyr and The Roop return! I'd be very surprised if Daði doesn't actually. Don't know The Roop song but the Daði Freyr entry sounded good on first listen. I hope Little Big return for Russia.
March 21, 20205 yr Author I hope Efendi can come back with another banger next year. So weird to not have it as Eurovision classic. And WHAT DO WE DO WITH 2020 in terms of like rankings and stuff? I'm going to include them in playlists and any ranks, they'll just be Eurovision entries without a live performance - which is easy to do as the live performances mostly only exist for me on Eurovision nights.
March 21, 20205 yr There's some talk in Iceland about the NF being Daði with a few songs to choose from. RÚV haven't confirmed it but it could be a good compromise seeing as the voting money from Söngvakeppnin pretty much pays for Iceland's participation in Eurovision.
March 26, 20205 yr looks like he won’t be back, at least not as a performer. his decision https://wiwibloggs.com/2020/03/25/iceland-d...lection/252511/
March 26, 20205 yr Finland are sticking with their selection (how insulting given they had one-artist multi-song selections in 2018 & 2019 :lol:) as are Norway...and Ulrikke has apparently declined the chance to have an automatic place in the final again :cry:

March 27, 20205 yr It's not over yet! RUV would be stupid not to bring them back @1243088999067127808
March 31, 20205 yr Eden, Roxen and Vincent Bueno join those listed in the opening post as confirmed to be back (not surprising as two of them were internally selected artists, and Israel's "The Next Star" was cancelled going forward before Eurovision was) Lithuania join fellow Baltic state Estonia in pushing ahead with a selection as normal, and The Roop have been invited to have an automatic place in the final if they wish.
April 1, 20205 yr Montaigne has been confirmed for Australia 2021. Dami Im presumably can wait to enter Australia Decides in 2022.
May 13, 20205 yr Benny Cristo has been confirmed for Czech Republic, no surprise really given the low-budget online NF that they've used recently. I think that takes us to 14 returning artists so far unless anyone has been missed I wonder if there's a chance that James Newman gets confirmed during "Eurovision: Come Together" or whether that's being too hopeful
May 16, 20205 yr They didn't go to all that effort rigging Maltese X Factor to not have Destiny at Eurovision!
May 16, 20205 yr Samanta Tina confirmed! I think Senhit confirmed she is coming back for San Marino too during her clip tonight?
May 16, 20205 yr I heard Graham Norton say Ireland are not coming back next year, mind you after hearing 30 seconds of her song, did sound like a wasted effort. I certainly won't miss her. :magic:
May 17, 20205 yr Ana Soklič confirmed for Slovenia next year, here's hoping it'll be with a song people actually like this time xx
