The ECG highlight of the year is coming!

KEiiNO

A fan favourite with six letters? KEiiNO!

Whether with their Eurovision entry “Spirit in the Sky” or their preliminary round gems “Monument” (2021) and “Damdiggida” (2024) – ever since their sixth-place finish and victory in the televote in Tel Aviv in 2019, this powerful trio has been a must-have at any good Eurovision party. This year, we can finally welcome Alexandra Rotan, Tom Hugo and Fred Buljo to GLORIA!

ELISABETH ANDREASSEN 

Did someone say ‘another Norwegian Eurovision legend’?

As one half of the Bobbysocks, Elisabeth Andreassen swayed her way to Eurovision glory in 1985 with ‘La det swinge’. In 1996 – 30 years ago – she almost repeated this feat as a solo artist with “I evighet”, finishing second in her fourth and final Eurovision appearance. Although the Swedish-born singer, acting as spokesperson in Vienna, awarded no points to Germany, we’re already shouting for her performance at the club meet-up: Bettan, 12 points!
