Eurovision Trivia: Melodifestivalen to Australia and the Balkans

Well what a great week it was for Eurovision. Australia selected well, we got the yearly Montenegrin, er… moment, there was a good set of results in Melodifestivalen, Sanremo passed and gave us a rather incredible Italian entry, other national finals are progressing well. All’s great. Meanwhile, absolutely nothing happened in my home nation of the United Kingdom. You might notice there are no questions here about that result. That is partially because I forgot it happened, as I personally dislike the chosen entry and so I’m swearing off patriotism for good. The other reason is that it just wasn’t that interesting – there are far more exciting and weirder things going on in the finals across Europe that make for better questions. Have a go at the ones here, and test yourself.

Every question in this quiz is related to ESCXtra articles published during the last week. Maybe also a few days either side. Perhaps it was something being reported, maybe it about information that our writers left in the article. Very occasionally it’ll require a little bit of Eurovision knowledge outside of that. The majority of the answers will have been on this website very recently. 

In any case, I hope you’ll join us and have an attempt at the very latest in Eurovision trivia. It’ll also serve as a useful reminder of the headlines you have been reading this week.
