Estonia s national final - Eesti Laul 2021 Preview
The final of Estonia’s national selection show Eesti Laul is just around the corner, where the winner of the competition will become Estonia’s official representative at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam in May.
The show will be hosted by presenters Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets and it will take place at the Saku Suurhall in Tallinn. Estonian broadcaster ERR has revealed that some performances and the interval acts will be filmed 1 day before the final to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
This year’s edition of Eesti Laul is a showcase of some of Estonia’s most experienced musical performers. Eleven of the twelve Eesti Laul finalists have participated in a previous edition of Eesti Laul. Four acts (or one third of the finalists) have been the official representative of Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest, with another act also performing for Estonia multiple times on the Eurovision stage.
