Turquoise Carpet Opening Ceremony @ 18:00 CEST [Live Thread]

The Turquoise Carpet

[via Eurovision.tv]

It’s a Eurovision tradition that the Host City throws a red carpet event for our participants, and though we face the challenge of COVID-19, this year is no exception.

The red carpet has transformed into the Turquoise Carpet thanks to our Official Presenting Partner Morrocanoil, the hair and body-care experts who are no strangers to glamorous events.

You can watch our 39 acts walk the Turquoise Carpet live this Sunday 16 May from 18:00 CEST on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.

Is Eurovision not going to be geo blocked in the US this year? (Thread)

So far, it's looking good for North Americans.

The opening ceremony isn't blocked, the 2019 rewatch isn't blocked, JESC 2020 wasn't blocked, JESC 2019 rewatch wasn't blocked... But I won't make any definitive "how to watch" threads until we get the semi-final YouTube links.

Have a plan B (SVT or any other national broadcaster stream) and a plan C (VPN) just in case.

Important Threads

The best place to find information about the 2021 contest is the Eurovision.tv 2021 FAQ.

The second best place is this subreddit, of course. ;)
