The 66th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in 2022 under the motto “The Sound of Beauty” in the PalaOlimpico in Turin. Malik Harris sings for Germany with the title “Rockstars” at starting position 13. Laura Pausini, Alessandro Cattelan and Mika moderate.
The final with a total of 25 countries will be streamed live here from 9 p.m. Afterwards we continue with Barbara Schöneberger and her guests with the “ESC – Aftershow” live from Hamburg.
The so-called Big Five (Germany, France, Spain, Great Britain (UK) and Italy) are automatically set for the final. In addition, the host country always receives a place in the final. However, since this year’s Big Five country is Italy, the final consists of 25 instead of the usual 26 countries.
