Tonight, Portugal begins the search for its entry for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest!
This year’s edition of the traditional Festival da Canção format will have two semi-finals (one tonight, one on Thursday) leading up to the grand final this Saturday. Six songs will compete in each semi-final, with two qualifiers being selected by televoting and a third qualifier by a jury.
Tonight’s contenders include Adelaide Ferreira, who represented Portugal at ESC 1985 – while Rita Seidi’s song is co-written by Sara Tavares, the Portuguese entrant at ESC 1994.
You can find the details of tonight’s show on the right-hand side. Further down, you can toggle between “Today” and “Calendar” view.
Don’t forget to join us in the #esc chat, where we’ll be watching, talking about and voting on the show.
Tonight’s songs will also compete to qualify for our own SongHunt. The scores given to each song by our chatters will have an influence on which songs will qualify for the next heat, to be launched on Sunday.
