The name and the song itself is yet to be revealed so stay tuned!

Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest

Latvia joined the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm in 2000. Brainstorm with their song ‘My Star’ finished third in a field of 24, one of the strongest showings for a country’s first participation in the competition.

Marie N with the song “I Wanna” brought the winner’s trophy to her country in 2002. Riga hosted the competition the following year.

After Latvia’s strong debut in the Eurovision Song Contest, the country went on to achieve its third top-five placing in 2005. Before that, however, the home team placed 24th in Riga in 2003 despite being tipped as one of the ones to watch for the night.

In 2020 Samanta Tina won the national selection final and was going to represent Latvia at the Eurovision 2020 with the song “Still Breathing”. Despite the show cancellation, the national broadcaster decided to choose Samanta internally for the Eurovision 2021.
