Even though the Eurovision 2020 has been cancelled due to the pandemic of COVID 19, May will still be celebrated as Eurovision month because many broadcasters have decided to create various programs to showcase the songs and performers which should’ve taken part at this years edition of the contest as well as remind us at some of the best moments in Eurovision history. 

The fans will have the opportunity to enjoy the shows prepared by the broadcasters of 14 countries (which have so far announced shows) and the only obstacle to fully enjoy all of those could be the language barrier as some of the programs are available in the native language of the country, but that could also be a chance for the ones which are trying to learn a certain language to broaden their knowledge of it. are preparing their own Eurovision formats. The highlight of this years season are shows created as an alternative to Eurovision 2020 by the EBU, Eurovision Song Celebration and Eurovision Europe Shine A Light. Other initiatives include the OGAE Eurovision Fan Contest. Especially for you escbubble prepared a full schedule of all events (announced so far). Times of all shows are CEST and you can click on the links to be redirected at the website. In case that some links don’t work try going to the page of the broadcaster or if you have the channel on which the show will be aired watch it from your TV. Now all you’ve got to do is organise an online call with your friends or gather together with your family members or your flatmates grab some food and the exciting online Eurovision May start!
