This week we have plenty of exciting announcements to reveal all the details surrounding EuroStarz — a fan-led event which offers a chance for fans to get up close with some Eurovision stars past and present at an intimate gig. The event will be taking place on Saturday 14th August next month and tickets will be going on sale this Saturday so make sure to grab yours!

So far we’ve announced the first three performers in the line-up — Nicki French (UK 2000) and Ray Caruana (UK 1989) and EyeCue (North Macedonia 2018). However, there are still two more to go…

The next act we’re happy to announce will be performing at EuroStarz 2021 is … Michael Rice!

Michael first appeared on our TV screens when he auditioned for BBC talent show ‘All Together Now’. Michael managed to impress the 100 panellists so much that he ended up winning the whole competition. He has since also gone on to appear on the Russian version of the show, again impressing panellists including two-time Eurovision performer Sergey Lazarev.

In 2019 he represented the UK at Eurovision in Tel Aviv with “Bigger Than Us”, the John Lundvik penned anthem which sadly did go on to place 26th in the final.

We’ll be back tomorrow morning with another announcement, but in the meantime relive his Eurovision performance here:
