Vienna 2015: The Story So Far!
Forty countries will take part in the sixtieth Eurovision
Song Contest on May 23rd 2015. The 2014 contest
saw thirty-seven entrants, and while
Ukraine have withdrawn for 2015, Cyprus, the Czech
Republic and Serbia have returned to the fold, and on February
10th it was announced that Australia would debut as a "guest"
entrant.
The first three sections look at
the runners and riders in running order, including a five-year
form guide.
Also included is a "semi-final form guide" that might suggest
who'll be packing their bags before Saturday, and a look at some
of the odder contributions to the contest from our hosts.
Finally a quick look at the set up of the sixtieth Grand Prix.
