ESC 2016 - General News Thread

[QwaarJet]

Guys post in the relevant thread about the hosts.

I'm not happy with this decision at all...

Btw is there any information about Alcazar being involved in next years contest? I wanted them so badly as hosts but now I still hop that they will perform as an interval act!

 

[Jim]

Why not?

I don't know why...

I wish Linda Bengzting was chosen. She won't win Melodifestivalen anyway and she gives too much efford on this show.

Linda only gets to host cheap events at other pay tv-channels. Suits her well.

Be a Volunteer of Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm!

Note: You would work for the city of Stockholm, not EBU or SVT

• Aged 18 years and over
• Fluent in Swedish and English
• optional language of a delegation

I think the biggest chance for a non-Swede would be to apply for Delegation Host ("delegationsvärd"). The city would probably accept poor Swedish skills in favour for speaking a particular delegation language.

When will the slogan and logo be finally revealed?

When will the slogan and logo be finally revealed?

I would say around January 25th, in time for the semifinal allocation draw

Must be an amazing slogan/ logo/ design if it takes so long until it's officially revealed...

 

[hungo]

last year we had much more information at an earlier stage like logo, slogan, stage design,..... communication was much better

 

[Chorizo]

This season is so slow, we don't even have a thread to discuss whether this year is especially weak yet. Last year by that time, people were already depressed about the unusually weak Eurovision season.

This season is so slow, we don't even have a thread to discuss whether this year is especially weak yet. Last year by that time, people were already depressed about the unusually weak Eurovision season.

Don't worry, I'm sure there'll be the usual thread heralding the inevitable doom and demise of the contest as soon as we've got a few more songs
