The iconic Eurovision Song Contest is making history by heading to Asia for its first-ever regional spin-off on November 14th. Eurovision Song Contest Asia will debut in Bangkok, marking the competition’s 70th anniversary by showcasing the diverse musical identities of the East. Ten countries, including South Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines, have already confirmed their participation in the inaugural event. Director Martin Green highlighted the move as a “new chapter” intended to unite artists and viewers across the continent through a shared cultural platform. Since its 1956 debut, Eurovision has launched global legends like ABBA and Celine Dion, a legacy this new Asian edition aims to continue.
