Mahmood brings his “Soldi” to the London Eurovision Party!

The next act to be confirmed for the London Eurovision Party is one of this year’s ultimate Eurovision favourites: Mahmood from Italy will travel to Leicester Square to perform his “Soldi” in front of the ecstatic crowd at Café de Paris. With his appearance at the iconic West End venue, Mahmood will follow in Francesco Gabbani’s footsteps.

A rising star in Italian music

Mahmood can best be described as an enormous rising star on the horizon of Italian pop music. After taking part in X Factor back in 2012, Alessandro Mahmoud has steadily been building a career in his home country.

In 2016, he starred as one of the Nuove Proposte in the Festival di Sanremo, taking part alongside now established names and their past two Eurovision entrants Ermal Meta and Francesco Gabbani. In late 2018, the revamped Giovani category in the Festival di Sanremo gave Mahmood the opportunity to fight for the crown together with the big names. He managed to take the contest by storm and won it immediately.

Mahmood will also now follow in the footsteps of Francesco Gabbani who performed his popular entry “Occidentali’s Karma” at the London Eurovision Party 2017.
