Sveriges Radio will broadcast the first Asian edition of the Eurovision Song Contest live, bringing the November 14 grand final from Bangkok to listeners across Sweden, Kulturnytt reported.
- Sveriges Radio is carrying the historic first Asian spin-off live on air.
- The grand final takes place in Bangkok on November 14 featuring eleven competing nations.
Eleven countries will send representatives to the stage for the inaugural competition, gathering 11 artists from 11 countries to showcase carefully prepared musical works. The final lands on November 14 in Bangkok, as the long-running song contest expands into Asia.
Vietnamese broadcaster VTV3 will air the event live on Saturday evening, moving its regular programming for Haha’s Restaurant to the following week, Vietnam.vn reported. The track was chosen during a live broadcast of the Vietnam Voice program on VTV, where S•HUBE’s composition was selected to accompany her to Bangkok, Thailand. The competition features strict rules regarding the length of performances and the number of artists allowed on stage.
Eleven competing songs were introduced to the public via various music streaming platforms, offering a first glimpse into each performance’s unique appeal, including a distinct K-pop style from South Korea and a catchy melody paired with a youthful, sensual performance style from Laos.
Fans were also seen holding signs featuring Filipino singer Carmelle Collado, who competes on November 14, while the Philippine representative generated massive audience numbers with an energetic performance, and the Malaysian singer created anticipation for an emotionally explosive stage performance promising a beautiful conclusion to the final night.
Preliminary betting odds place Malaysia at the front of the field for the upcoming contest. Meanwhile, acts from Nepal, Mongoliet, and Bangladesh face tougher odds according to early projections noted by Sveriges Radio.
