The Eurovision Song Contest 2019 will be the 64th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The contest is scheduled to take place in Israel, following their victory at the 2018 contest in Lisbon, Portugal with the song "Toy", performed by Netta.

As of 2 August 2024, nineteen eligible countries have confirmed their intentions to participate in the contest.

The 2019 contest will take place in Israel for the third time, after 1979 and 1999, following the country's victory at the 2018 edition with the song "Toy", performed by Netta Barzilai.[2]

Potential host venues

After Israel's victory in Lisbon, Portugal, both Netta Barzilai herself and the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the 2019 contest would be held in Jerusalem, but this is yet to be confirmed by the IPBC and the EBU.[2][3] Israeli finance minister Moshe Kahlon also stated in an interview that the event would be solely held in Jerusalem and estimated its cost at 120 million Israeli shekels (approximately 24 million euros).[4] The mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, mentioned Jerusalem Arena and Teddy Stadium as possible venues to host the event.[5] The municipality of Jerusalem has also confirmed that the contest would not be held at the International Convention Centre, which hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 and 1999, due to its insufficient capacity.[6]

Another possible location was the Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv. However, on 13 May 2018, the city's mayor Ron Huldai announced that Tel Aviv had ruled out hosting the event.[6] Later, a source at Time Out revealed that it was simply a statement deferring to the government to decide on the matter, and that they would be willing to place a bid if Jerusalem isn't considered a viable option.[7][8] Despite this statement, however, Tel Aviv was confirmed as one of the four final candidate cities (Jerusalem included) on 11 June 2018[9]

On 16 May 2018, the mayor of Petah Tikva announced that it was also interested in hosting the contest, although the city lacks a venue capable to host the event.[10][11]

Other possible locations include Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa and Turner Stadium in Beersheba. Along with the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem, all three proposals are dependent on the construction of a temporary or permanent roof to cover the stadiums, as a requirement from the EBU.

Several media outlets reported that the EBU might have warned the Israeli national broadcaster that the 2019 contest would not take place in Israel if some countries decided not to participate due to political pressures, which was later denied by both the IPBC and the EBU on 22 May 2018.[12][13] Representatives from the EBU reference group for the contest visited Israel in late May 2018, confirming the decision regarding the host city, venue and dates will be made after discussions with the Israeli national broadcaster.[14]

On 10 June 2018, it was reported by Israeli media that the city of Eilat is being considered as a potential host city.[15]

It was reported on 11 June 2018 that the cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, and Eilat had been selected as the candidates to host the contest. A meeting is expected to be held by the EBU later in June, where the four candidates' bids will be revealed.[9]

On 19 June 2018, a meeting was held at the EBU headquarters in Geneva, where Kan met with the EBU reference group and representatives of previous host countries (including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Italy) to begin sorting out details of the 2019 contest. They received a debriefing from Portuguese national broadcaster Radio and Television of Portugal (RTP), who organized the 2018 contest, about organization and requirements that have to be met in order to host. The meeting appeared to go smoothly, with Israel officially confirmed as the host country (after murmurings that Austria, who placed third in 2018 and hosted in 2015, may be called on to host again) and decisions regarding the host city, venue, and dates of the semi-finals and final to be announced in September.[16]

Kan formally opened the bidding process for cities interested in hosting the 2019 contest on 24 June 2018.[17] On the same day, they also opened up the tender process for broadcasters interested in helping select who will represent Israel on home ground.[18]

Although initial speculation had Jerusalem as a front-runner for hosting, various complications (many detailed below) in relation to religious obligations and possible boycotts, along with Jerusalem's mayor, Nir Barkat’s announcement that he won't seek re-election in the October 2018 elections, could complicate the bidding process. Also, a senior finance ministry official has claimed to Israeli news source Haaretz that the likely host would instead be Tel Aviv, hosting from the Tel Aviv Convention Center from New Pavilion 2 (rather than speculated venue Menora Mivtachim Arena). Both facilities can hold up to 10,000 people, meeting the minimum seating requirement set by the EBU. Haifa is also a viable option, although clashes with football season may complicate the use of the sole adequate venue, the Sammy Ofer Stadium. Tel Aviv has additionally hosted the Israel Calling Eurovision pre-parties since 2016, which have showcased the majority of the year's contestants (the 2018 edition included 21 of the participating countries).[19]

Despite the four candidate cities having already been announced, on 26 June 2018, Dov Litvinoff, the Head of the Tamar Regional Council, has said that Masada will put forward a bid to host the contest.[20]

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 will be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU will issue an invitation of participation in the contest to all fifty-six active members. It is unknown whether an invitation will be issued to associate member Australia. The Israeli Minister of Communications Ayoob Kara has also invited countries from the Middle Eastern and North African region, with which Israel largely has tense relationships or no diplomatic relations. Kara pointed out Tunisia and the gulf states Saudi Arabia as well as Dubai and Abu Dhabi as part of the United Arab Emirates.[41][42][43] Tunisia is eligible to participate but has not due to rules banning the promotion of Israeli content, while the gulf states do not have a national broadcaster with EBU membership, as well as having laws against LGBT acts.

Active EBU members

  •  Andorra – Despite being absent for 10 years, local media reported that Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra (RTVA) was still interested in returning to the contest, but the principality's failure to make the final along with the cost was discouraging the broadcaster from participating. In order for a return to take place, RTVA would need funding from the Andorran Government.[46] On 19 May 2018, Andorra confirmed that they would not return in 2019.[47]
  •  Iceland – While original reports stated that the country would participate, the Icelandic broadcaster Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) has since announced they are considering a withdrawal, following a petition which called for the nation to boycott. The result of that withdrawal petition is pending.[50][51]
  •  Italy — On 28 June 2018, Italian broadcaster RAI confirmed the dates of the 2019 Festival di Sanremo, which in recent years has been used to select Italy's Eurovision entry. However, they did not report whether they were participating in the 2019 contest or if Sanremo would once again be the preferred way of selecting an entry.[53]
  •  Montenegro — The Montenegrin broadcaster, RTCG, stated that they have not decided whether or not the country will participate in the 2019 contest. This follows three consecutive years of non-qualification for the country.[54]
  •  Romania — The board of directors at the Romanian broadcaster Televiziunea Română (TVR) had a conference regarding changes to be implemented for their next Eurovision participation, following 2018's "failure". However, the country's participation in the 2019 contest has not been confirmed.[55]
  •  Spain – A clause in the contract of Operación Triunfo 2018 states that the contestants accept they may be selected to represent Spain at Eurovision. This appears to confirm Operación Triunfo will continue to be the preferred method for Spain to select Eurovision contestants; however, the Spanish broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) has not made an official statement.[59][60]

The following countries participated in 2018, but have not yet made any official announcement regarding their participation in 2019.

Associate EBU members

  •  Australia – On 29 May 2018, the CEO of the Australian broadcaster Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), Michael Ebeid, dismissed claims of boycotting the contest in 2019, saying that "...I can’t imagine that we would not televise Eurovision next year." Although a confirmation that they would broadcast the 2019 contest, this did not confirm that Australia would return, as they would need to be invited by the Israeli Broadcaster IPBC. [62]
  •  Kazakhstan – On 22 December 2017, it was claimed that Channel 31 had finalised negotiations with the EBU, allowing Kazakhstan to debut in 2019;[63] however, on 23 December 2017, the EBU told Esctoday that "Channel 31 Kazakhstan has indeed expressed interest in becoming a member of the EBU and hence participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. However, since Channel 31 is outside the European Broadcasting Area and is also not a member of the Council of Europe, it is not eligible to become an active member of the EBU".[64][65]

Non-EBU members

  •  Liechtenstein – On 4 November 2017, 1 Fürstentum Liechtenstein Television (1 FL TV), the national broadcaster of the Principality of Liechtenstein, confirmed that the country were planning a debut in the 2019 contest, and that they were currently in the process of applying for EBU membership and are "in [the] process of complying all requirements".[66] They also reiterated their intention to select the participant through a national selection process in the form of Liechtenstein Music Contest "open to any form of music".[67]
  •  Kosovo – According to EBU guidelines, Kosovo's participation in 2018 would have been possible due to Portugal recognizing Kosovo as a state.[68] Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK) decided not to participate, however still broadcast the contest in 2018.[69] Israel does not recognize Kosovo, but both states foster good relations.[70][unreliable source?] RTK general director Mentor Shala said that they are still pushing for full membership, and still hope to debut at the 2019 contest. They are currently still in talks with the EBU.[71] The EBU will vote on full membership of the Kosovar broadcaster in December 2018, possibly allowing the country to debut in 2019.[72]

Incidents

Religious requests

On 14 May 2018, Yaakov Litzman, leader of the ultra-Orthodox party United Torah Judaism and Israel’s Deputy Minister of Health, drafted a letter to the Ministers of Tourism, Communications, and Culture and Sports, in which he requested that the event not violate religious laws: “In the name of hundreds of thousands of Jewish citizens from all the populations and communities for whom Shabbat observance is close to their hearts, I appeal to you, already at this early stage, before production and all the other details of the event has begun, to be strict [in ensuring] that this matter does not harm the holiness of Shabbat and to work in every way to prevent the desecration of Shabbat, God forbid, as the law and the status quo requires”.[73] According to Jewish religious law, Shabbat — the holy sabbath — is observed from just before sunset on Friday evening until Saturday night. The Saturday evening broadcast of the show, which will start at 22:00 local time, will not conflict with this. However, the Friday evening jury show and Saturday afternoon rehearsals would. Similar protests arose in the lead-up to the 1999 Israeli-held competition, but then there were fewer competing teams allowing for certain adjustments to be made to accommodate the issue. The Chairman of the EBU’s Eurovision committee, Dr. Frank-Dieter Freiling, noted that he was well aware of the tension, and has plans to address it in his communications with the Israeli broadcaster.[74]

Calls for boycott

Due to the contest being held in Israel, and potentially Jerusalem for a third time, some have expressed their discontent and called for a boycott, as part of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

  •  Iceland – Although Iceland confirmed provisional participation in the 2019 contest, 23,000 Icelanders signed a petition calling on the Icelandic national broadcaster Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) to boycott the event.[75] Icelandic musician Daði Freyr stated that he would no longer participate in the Icelandic national selection Söngvakeppnin and called upon RÚV to boycott the event, tweeting "We can't imagine taking part in the fun that is Eurovision with a clear conscience while the Israeli state and their army use such terrible violence against the Palestinian people."[76] It was then announced that RUV would stage a meeting deciding if they would boycott the event, following calls from Icelandic fans.[77] Iceland competed in the 1999 contest.
  •  Ireland – Lord Mayor of Dublin Mícheál Mac Donncha, who is banned from entering Israel due to his support for the BDS movement, stated that Ireland should withdraw from the 2019 contest due to it taking place in Israel.[78] Sinn Féin politician, Lynn Boylan called for a boycott via Twitter; "Israel wins Eurovision so let's make BDS more successful than ever in 2019". MEP Nessa Childers stated "Jerusalem? The mind boggles. I thought Tel Aviv". Fellow Sinn Fein Member Órla Nic Biorna also expressed her discontent. The Irish Alternative called for a boycott.[79] Irish Eurovision winner Charlie McGettigan has also called for RTE to boycott the event, stating "Look, we don’t agree with this, to celebrate while other people are dying."[80] Former Irish TV host Mike Murphy has also called for a boycott of the event.[81] Popular Irish TV Show The Tonight Show aired a segment in regards to Israel's right to host the contest. On the panel was a range of Irish Celebrities all of whom spoke in favour of a boycott. This included members of the public.[82] Ireland participated in the 1979 and 1999 contests, both of which were held in Jerusalem. On 21 June 2018, sitting Tánaiste Simon Coveney stated that he did not believe a boycott would advance the Palestinian cause, and rejected the idea of Ireland boycotting the 2019 contest on those grounds.
  •  Sweden – The Left Party of Malmö suggested that Eurovision Song Contest should not take place in Israel, stating: "It's absolutely unreasonable for Israel to host this gigantic music contest while the occupation is in progress. We want Israel to be excluded from Eurovision on humanitarian grounds. We can not continue dancing while the persecution of the Palestinian people continues. Boycott Israel now!"[83] Sweden confirmed provisional participation in the 2019 contest, and competed in both the 1979 and 1999 contests.
  •  United Kingdom – Some Liberal Democrat party supporters have called upon the party and the UK government to boycott the event, claiming that their participation would condone "outrageous human rights violations".[84] The United Kingdom participated in both the 1979 and 1999 contests, however, participation in 2019 is yet to be announced.
