The four heats which this year’s 28 participating artists are competing in, will take place at RTE Studios in Donnybrook. Four heats will be recorded, with 7 artists participating in each.

There is a format change this year too! Instead of singing their songs for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, each artist will be performing a popular English pop song in Irish.

Eoghan McDermott will host the show as in previous years and each show will feature an Irish Eurovision legend. It is currently unclear when the Final will be recorded and whether the potential songs for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be performed.

The four recordings take place next Thursday (8th) and Friday (9th), at 13:15 and 18:15. If you’d like to attend the recordings, you can request tickets by telephoning +353 1 284 3877 or by email on tickets@adareproductions.ie
