2021 ← Eurovision Song Contest → 2023

The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 is the upcoming 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It is set to take place in Turin, Italy, following the country's victory at the 2021 contest with the song "Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI), the contest will be held at the PalaOlimpico, and will consist of two semi-finals on 10 and 12 May, and a final on 14 May 2022.[1] The three live shows will be hosted by Italian television presenter Alessandro Cattelan, singer Laura Pausini and British-Lebanese singer Mika.[2]

This will be the third time that Italy hosts the contest (having previously hosted the 1965 edition in Naples and the 1991 edition in Rome), as well as the first EBU event to be held in the country since the last edition of Jeux sans frontières in 1999.

Forty countries will take part in the contest, with Armenia and Montenegro returning after their absences from the previous edition.[3] Russia had originally planned to participate, but was excluded due to its invasion of Ukraine.[4]

Location

PalaOlimpico, host venue of the 2022 contest.

The 2022 contest will take place in Turin, Italy, following the country's victory at the 2021 edition with the song "Zitti e buoni", performed by Måneskin. It will be the third time that Italy hosts the contest, having previously done so for the 1965 and 1991 contests, held in Naples and Rome respectively. The selected venue is the 13,300-seat PalaOlimpico, a multi-purpose indoor arena located in the Santa Rita district, which serves as a venue for events including concerts, exhibitions, trade fairs, conferences, and sports (mainly those requiring an ice rink, such as ice hockey and curling). PalaOlimpico has previously hosted the ice hockey events at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and the opening ceremonies of the 2007 Winter Universiade and will host the same event in 2025.[5]

Preparations

Preparations for the 2022 contest began on 23 May 2021, immediately after Italy won the 2021 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Martin Österdahl, the executive supervisor of the contest on behalf of the EBU, handed RAI, the Italian participating broadcaster, a stack of documents and a USB drive with tools to begin the work needed to host the next contest.[6]

Bidding phase

Between 23 and 28 May 2021, many cities across Italy expressed interest in hosting the contest. Representatives from the cities of Bologna, Milan, Pesaro, Naples and Turin voiced their interest,[7][8][9] as well as the Mayor of Reggio Emilia, Luca Vecchi, who hoped to host the contest in the new RCF Arena, the largest open-air arena in Europe with a capacity of 100,000 spectators.[10] The mayors of Rome, Rimini and Florence soon after also expressed interest in hosting the contest[11][12][13] and were joined by Sanremo, Verona and Bari.[13][14][15] Marco Di Maio [it], member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, also suggested that if Rimini were to host the contest, it should be a co-production with San Marino RTV.[16]

Host broadcaster RAI launched the bidding process on 7 July 2021.[17][18] In the first phase of this process, any interested cities were to present their bid through certified email by 12 July, after which RAI and the EBU would proceed to send all of them a bid book with more detailed requirements for the cities to submit their plans for review.[19]

On 9 July 2021, the city of Turin officially announced its bid.[20] On the same day, the city of Pesaro did the same, proposing the Vitrifrigo Arena as a possible venue to host the event.[21] They were followed by Bologna and Jesolo on 12 July,[22][23] and Rimini and Bertinoro (jointly with Forlì and Cesena) on 13 July.[24][25] On 13 July, RAI announced that 17 cities had submitted their bid for hosting the contest and would be provided the following day with the bid books. They had until 4 August to draft and submit their detailed plans, which 11 cities did.[26] On 24 August, it was reported that Bologna, Milan, Pesaro, Rimini and Turin would be the cities left in the running to host the contest.[27]

The choice among them was meant to be announced by the end of August;[28][29] however, this did not happen, and in mid-September Stefano Coletta [it], director of Rai 1, stated that the selection was behind time to ensure "transparency and precision".[30] On 8 October 2021, the EBU and RAI announced Turin as the host city, with the PalaOlimpico as the chosen venue for the contest.[1][31]

Other sites

class=notpageimage|
Location of host venue (red) and other contest-related sites and events (blue)

The Eurovision Village is the official Eurovision Song Contest fan and sponsors area during the event weeks, where it will be possible to watch performances by contest participants and local artists, as well as the live shows broadcast from the main venue. It is set to be located at Parco del Valentino.[62][63]

The "Turquoise Carpet" and Opening Ceremony events, where the contestants and their delegations are presented before the accredited press and fans, will take place at the Palace of Venaria on 8 May 2022.[64][65]

Production

The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 will be produced by the Italian public broadcaster Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI). Claudio Fasulo [it] and Simona Martorelli will serve as executive producers,[3] while Cristian Biondani [it] and Duccio Forzano [it] will serve as directors of the three live shows.[66][67]

The Italian government will allocate around €1.5 million as part of the budget needed to host the event, while the municipality of Turin and the regional government of Piedmont will, in total, contribute to around €10 million.[68][69]

Format

Visual design

The theme art and slogan for the contest, "The Sound of Beauty", was unveiled on 21 January 2022, with further information revealed on 24 January. The artwork was built around the symmetrical structure and patterns of cymatics to convey the visual properties of sound, which also reflects Italian garden design, while the typography was inspired by early-20th century Italian poster art; the colours were drawn from those of the Italian flag.[70]

Presenters

On 29 January 2022, director of Rai 1 Stefano Coletta [it] confirmed in an interview with Italian news magazine Panorama that the presenters of the 2022 contest would be revealed during the Sanremo Music Festival 2022.[71][72] Italian news agency Adnkronos and TV magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni reported television presenter Alessandro Cattelan, singers Laura Pausini and Mika as likely names to host. Participating as special guests in the second night of Sanremo 2022 on 2 February, the three were officially confirmed as presenters of the contest.[2][73][74] In addition, Carolina Di Domenico and Gabriele Corsi [it] will host the "Turquoise Carpet" and Opening Ceremony events.[75]

Stage design

RAI and the EBU revealed the stage design for the 2022 contest on 18 February 2022.[76] Designed by Rome-based stage designer Francesca Montinaro [it] and dubbed "The Sun Within", the stage design is based around the movements and light of a kinetic sun, with the ability to showcase theatrical motion. The design also features a working waterfall and a miniaturized recreation of an Italian garden in the green room.[77]

Montinaro has previous experience in stage design, having done so for the Sanremo Music Festival in 2013 and 2019.[78] This marked the first time since 2016 that German stage designer Florian Wieder did not design the Eurovision stage.[79][80]

Pre-recorded backing vocals

On 3 September 2021, Icelandic broadcaster RÚV mistakenly leaked the rules of the 2022 contest in advance, revealing that, for the second year in a row, delegations would have the option to use pre-recorded backing vocals. Each delegation could still choose to use backing singers, whether on or off stage, or a combination of live and recorded backing vocals. All lead vocals performing the melody of the song must still be live, according to the rules.[81][82]

Live-on-tape recordings

On 30 November 2021, OGAE Greece revealed that for the second year in a row, the EBU will require all national broadcasters to create a 'live-on-tape' backup recording prior to the contest which can be used if a participant is unable to travel to Turin, or subjected to quarantine on arrival.[83][84][85] This was later confirmed by the contest's executive supervisor Martin Österdahl.[86]

Song publication date

In January 2022, the Ukrainian broadcaster UA:PBC revealed that the EBU is tightening the rules around the eligibility of songs entering the contest. Until 2022, the rules stated that the competing songs must not have been commercially released prior to 1 September of the previous year. Now, a song may be ineligible to compete if it has been released to the public in any way, including live performances, before 1 September of the previous year. Enforcement of the rule is subject to the responsibility of the participating broadcasters.[87]

Semi-final allocation draw

Palazzo Madama, host venue for the allocation draw of the 2022 contest

The draw to determine the participating countries' semi-finals took place on 25 January 2022 at 12:00 CET, at Palazzo Madama.[88][89] The thirty-six semi-finalists were divided over six pots, based on historical voting patterns as calculated by the contest's official televoting partner Digame. The purpose of drawing from different pots is to reduce the chance of "bloc voting" and to increase suspense in the semi-finals. The draw also determined which semi-final each of the five automatic qualifiers – "Big Five" countries France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom – will broadcast and vote in. The ceremony was hosted by Carolina Di Domenico and Mario Acampa [it], with Acampa replacing Gabriele Corsi who tested positive for COVID-19.[90] It included the passing of the host city insignia from Ahmed Aboutaleb, the mayor of previous host city Rotterdam, to Stefano Lo Russo, the mayor of Turin.

Postcards

The "postcards" are 40-second video introductions shown on television whilst the stage is being prepared for the next contestant to perform their entry. Filming for the 2022 postcards reportedly began on 8 February in Perugia, and is taking place in various sites across Italy, in keeping with the "Sound of Beauty" theme of the contest.[91][92] Reported filming locations have also included:

Participating countries

  Participating countries in the first semi-final
  Pre-qualified for the final but also voting in the first semi-final
  Participating countries in the second semi-final
  Pre-qualified for the final but also voting in the second semi-final

The EBU initially announced on 20 October 2021 that 41 countries would participate in the 2022 contest. The list included all countries that participated in the 2021 contest, along with Armenia and Montenegro, both of which had last taken part in 2019.[3] On 25 February 2022, the EBU announced that Russia was excluded from participating due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, thereby reducing the number of participating countries to 40.[4]

Returning artists

As of March 2022, the contest is set to feature four representatives who also previously performed as lead artists for the same country. Stoyan Yankoulov [bg], a member of Bulgaria's Intelligent Music Project, represented Bulgaria at the 2007 and 2013 contests alongside Elitsa Todorova.[99] Zdob și Zdub represented Moldova twice, in 2005 and 2011.[100] Mahmood represented Italy in 2019.[101] Ihor Didenchuk, a member of Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra, represented Ukraine in 2021 as a member of Go_A.[102]

In addition, a former backing performer is set to compete as lead artist. Ihan Haydar, a member of Denmark's Reddi, represented Denmark in 2012 as a member of Soluna Samay's backup band.[103]

Semi-final 1

The first semi-final will take place on 10 May 2022 at 21:00 (CEST).[1] Seventeen countries will participate in the first semi-final. Those countries plus France and Italy will vote in this semi-final.[104] Russia was originally allocated to participate in the second half of the semi-final, but was excluded from the contest due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4]

Other countries

Further information: List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest

Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that would be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU issued an invitation to participate in the contest to all active members. Associate member Australia does not need an invitation for the 2022 contest, as it had previously been granted permission to participate at least until 2023.[119]

Active EBU members

Non-EBU members

  •  Belarus – On 28 May 2021, the EBU Executive Board agreed to suspend the membership of Belarusian broadcaster BTRC as a result of its use by the Belarusian government as a propaganda tool. The broadcaster was given two weeks to respond before the suspension came into effect, but did not do so publicly.[125] BTRC was expelled from the EBU on 1 July for a period of three years, therefore losing the rights to broadcast and participate in any Eurovision event until 1 July 2024;[126] the broadcaster subsequently released a statement affirming that they would not be supporting Belarus' participation in upcoming years, including 2022.[127][128] Belarus last took part in 2019, having intended to compete in the cancelled 2020 contest and having been disqualified from the 2021 contest.
  •  Liechtenstein – Liechtensteiner broadcaster 1 FL TV did not debut in the 2022 contest due to the high costs of participation. The broadcaster had attempted to become an EBU member in the past but halted its plans when its director, Peter Kölbel, unexpectedly died. It would also need the backing of the Liechtenstein government to be able to carry the cost of becoming an EBU member and paying the participation fee for the contest.[129]
  •  Russia – Despite initially appearing on the list of participants, on 25 February 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and increasing protests from other participating countries, the EBU announced that Russia would be excluded from the 2022 contest.[4] The next day, all EBU members from Russia, including VGTRK and Channel One, announced their withdrawal from the union; however, the EBU itself had yet to receive a confirmation.[130][131] On 1 March, a further statement from the EBU announced that it had suspended its Russian members from its governance structures.[132]

Broadcasts

All participating broadcasters may choose to have on-site or remote commentators providing an insight about the show and voting information to their local audience. While they must broadcast at least the semi-final they are voting in and the final, most broadcasters air all three shows with different programming plans. Similarly, some non-participating broadcasters may still want to air the contest. These are the broadcasters that have confirmed in whole or in part their broadcasting plans and/or their commentators:

Incidents

Russo–Ukrainian crisis

See also: Russia–Ukraine relations in the Eurovision Song Contest, Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, and Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022

Ukrainian artist replacement

Following the controversy surrounding the Ukrainian national selection in 2019, which led to the country withdrawing from the contest that year, a new rule was introduced starting from 2020 which bars artists who have performed in Russia since 2014 or have entered Crimea "in violation of the legislation of Ukraine" from entering the selection.[156] The 2022 Ukrainian national selection was won by Alina Pash with the song "Tini zabutykh predkiv".[157] On 14 February 2022, two days after the selection, activist and video blogger Serhii Sternenko alleged that Pash had entered Crimea from Russian territory in 2015, and counterfeited her travel documentation with her team in order to take part in the selection.[158] The Ukrainian broadcaster UA:PBC subsequently stated that they would request the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service to verify if the documentation is forged, and that Pash would not officially be the Ukrainian representative at the contest "until the verification and clarification of the facts is completed".[159] After it was discovered that a representative of Pash's team had handed in falsified documentation to UA:PBC,[160][161][162] on 16 February, Pash announced on her social media pages that she would withdraw her candidacy as the Ukrainian representative at the contest.[163][164] UA:PBC later stated that according to the rules of the selection, they will select another representative among other competing artists in the selection. Runner-up of the selection, Kalush Orchestra with the song "Stefania", were offered to represent Ukraine on 17 February, and a final decision was expected to be made during an extraordinary meeting on 18 February.[165][166][167][168] On 22 February, UA:PBC confirmed that Kalush Orchestra had agreed to represent Ukraine at the contest.[169]

Russian exclusion

In the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February, UA:PBC appealed to suspend Russian EBU member broadcasters VGTRK and Channel One from the union. The appeal alleged that since the beginning of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2014, VGTRK and Channel One have been a mouthpiece for the Russian government and a key tool of political propaganda financed from the Russian state budget. The EBU initially stated that Russia as well as Ukraine would still be allowed to participate in the contest, citing the non-political nature of the event.[170][171][172]

Several broadcasters expressed their concern at the decision and issued statements calling for the removal of Russia from the contest. In addition to Ukraine's UA:PBC, nine other countries' broadcasters requested the EBU to change the decision: Denmark's DR, Estonia's ERR, Finland's Yle, Iceland's RÚV, Lithuania's LRT, the Netherlands' AVROTROS, Norway's NRK, Poland's TVP and Sweden's SVT.[173] Yle also stated that they would withdraw their participation if Russia was not excluded from the contest.[174] This was followed by a similar announcement from ERR.[175] Latvian representatives Citi Zēni also urged the EBU to reconsider Russian participation.[176] On 25 February 2022, the EBU announced that Russia would not compete at the contest, stating that "in light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry in this year's Contest would bring the competition into disrepute."[4] The next day, all EBU members from Russia, including VGTRK and Channel One, announced their withdrawal from the union, according to a statement released by Russian state media.[130] Russia had not publicly announced an artist or song before being excluded.

Official album

Eurovision Song Contest: Turin 2022 is the official compilation album of the contest, put together by the European Broadcasting Union and will be released by Universal Music Group physically on 22 April 2022. The album features all 40 entries including the semi-finalists that failed to qualify for the final.[177]
