Malta Stretches Out Eurovision Festival With Four Quarter-Finals Starting This Weekend
Malta’s route to the Eurovision Song Contest will be longer than usual this year as the festival kicks off this weekend.
While the Malta Eurovision Song Contest traditionally consists of a semi-final and a grand final, they will be preceded this year by four quarter-finals, taking place on 13th, 20th, 27th January and 3rd February.
The semi-final and final will then take place on 9th and 11th February, which means there will be six shows in total.
Ryan and Josmar will present the four quarter-finals, while previous Eurovision winners Amber and Glen Vella will present the semi-final and final.
The first quarter-final will take place this weekend and will feature some big names in Maltese music, including last year’s Malta Eurovision Song Contest runner-up Aidan, two-times former Malta Eurovision winner Fabrizio Faniello, and Eliana Gomez Blanco, who represented Malta at the 2019 Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
