Tonight and tomorrow: watch the backup tapes

Had enough of the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam? No, of course not. But don’t worry: this weekend there is still something to watch!

As there was a possibility the artists could not travel to Rotterdam for the contest, every country had to send in a backup tape. Australia in fact used that tape. But EBU decided not to throw all the other tapes in the dustbin. You can watch them tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight, Krista Siegfrids (Eurovision 2013) will guide you through the non-qualifiers. You can watch them on Youtube at 21.00 CET. Tomorrow, she will guide you through the finalists, same channel, same time.
