Thursday, 02 December 2021

  • No audience will attend eventually the Jury Show of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021 set to take place at La Seine Musicale in Paris on December 19, 2021. 

    The organisers of the Junior Eurovision 2019 have decided to scale down the attendance of audience in the upcoming Junior Eurovision in Paris adjusting things to the current health situation in Europe regarding the covid-19 pandemic. 

    Precisely the organisers have decided to hold the Jury Show without the presence of an audience, which initially was planned. The statement regarding the decision mentions: 

    “In response to the exceptional health situation in Europe right now, and to ensure the presence on stage of each of our 19 artists, France Télévisions has decided to only admit an audience to the Live Show of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on Sunday 19 December.

    Those who have booked tickets for the Dress Rehearsal on Saturday 18 December should contact La Seine Musicale directly. They can receive a full refund or transfer their tickets to the Live Show on Sunday 19 December.

    Tickets are still available for the live broadcast of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest via the La Seine Musicale website where health and safety measures for attending the show can also be found.”

    Sadly, the organisers came to this decision of scaling down the presence of an audience due to the fifh wave of covid-19 cases hitting the continent and the new variant 'Omikron' which has put all the countries in an alert situation.
