3 nights of FiKmas

The Albanian national final will take place over 3 evenings this month. The first evening will see all 22 artists perform their song with an orchestra. However, on the second, the orchestra will be long gone. Instead, the artists will perform their song again but with various elements which will give the audience an idea as to how their entry would be staged at Eurovision. 

So who will follow on from Eugent Bushpepa’s victory last year? It won’t be long before we find out!
