#EurovisionAgain: The fan rewatch party returns on June 19
Saturday, 12 June 2021

  • The fan inspired rewatch party #EurovisionAgain returns for new round of series on June 19.

    The rewatch party series #Eurovisionagain that kept the ESC fans company during last year's hard covid-19 lockdown periods are coming back for a third season. 

    The first to launch such initiative, was a group of fans that uploaded past events, while EBU followed through its official Eurovision Youtube Channel. The idea was implemented as COVID-19 restrictions led to national lockdowns and the eventual cancellation of the Eurovision Song Contest. Once the competing part of the contest is over, the audience has had the chance to cast its votes and make up a new result for each edition.

    #Eurovision Again gives the chance to all Eurovision fans to watch once again past editions of the Eurovision Song Contests and enjoy the Eurovision party feeling from each contest and feel the joy and excitement of the contest without any interruptions.

    The new season of the re-watch parties will return on the third-Saturday of each month in 2021:

    • Saturday 19 June

    • Saturday 17 July

    • Saturday 21 August

    • Saturday 18 September

    • Saturday 16 October

    • Saturday 20 November

    The #EurovisionAgain broadcasts will unwind until next November leading us just before the next Junior Eurovision Song Contes takes place in Paris and the next national selection season for Eurovision 2022 kicks off. The Contests could be any of those available from the archives of Eurovision.tv or previous Host Broadcasters – and the year isn’t revealed until 15 minutes prior to it premiering on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.
