The artists will spend four days in Israel and will enjoy a handful of events such as visiting Jerusalem, hanging out in Tel Aviv-Yafo, gala events, a press conference, and more.

The highlight of the visit is the live concert that will bring Eurovision back to Tel Aviv-Yafo: a huge musical event – Mini–Eurovision LIVE in front of the Israeli audience that will be broadcast live via social media to all parts of Europe. The concert will feature the entries that will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and other surprises and will take place on April 7th in Menora Arena, Tel Aviv.

This event symbolizes the recovery of the Israeli tourism sector that needs certainty and continuity but also such events to present the beauty, culture, and all the good that we have to offer the tourists.

The dozens of delegations will visit the main attractions of the old city, will enjoy the unique beauty of Jerusalem and the rich and magical cultural variety of the capital of Israel.

Therefore, especially today when the cannons roar, the muses should not stay silent. The arrival of the artists in Israel, under the slogan “Israel Calling”, is a clear statement in favor of peace and against war.

This competition makes us forget our conflicts for one night, to unite and be proud as Israelis. That’s why we can’t avoid mentioning the horrors that take place in the heart of Europe, in Ukraine. Israel Calling, the special promo event that will bring the best of the Eurovision Song Contest to Tel Aviv-Yafo, a moment before the actual contest, will be a celebration diluted with pain and hope. It will have a say that we should do whatever we can to stop the horrors, to lend a hand and help, to open our hearts, and save lives.
