In 2021, the “Free European Song Contest” will take place for the second time. The ESC replacement for Stefan Rabin (54) is set to move to ProSieben on May 15th.

According to the broadcaster, Belgium, Germany, England, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Scotland, Switzerland, Slovenia, Spain and Turkey – a total of 16 countries – will be performing. .

France, Slovenia, Belgium, Scotland and Greece are participating in the “Free ESC” for the first time. The show, which will air live on ProSieben and Joyn on May 15, 2021 at 8:15 pm, will be moderated by Conchita Wurst (32) and Steven Gätjen (48).
