Excitement is building as Albania gears up for Festivali i Këngës 63. We already know the competing artists. And now we have a fresh twist: Sources within RTSH tell Wiwibloggs that the competing songs are set to be released in early December, giving fans ample time to familiarize themselves with the entries before the live shows.
Traditionally held in December, Festivali i Këngës is known for its orchestral arrangements and iconic performances. The early release of the songs is a strategic move by RTSH, allowing for greater audience engagement ahead of the event. This format has been adopted in recent years by different national selections, as well as Albania.
The festival will once again serve as the platform to select Albania’s Eurovision 2025 representative. The line-up for this year’s competition is has high profiles and returning artists highly anticipated by Eurovision fans, with speculation about whether returning favorites or emerging talents will dominate the stage.
