Conchita Wurst and Steven Gätjen moderate the “Free ESC”
France, Slovenia, Belgium, Scotland and Greece are participating in the “Free ESC” for the first time. The show, which will run live on “ProSieben” and “Joyn” on May 15, 2021 at 8:15 pm, will be moderated by Conchita Wurst (32) and Steven Gätjen (48). This means that the music competition takes place one week before the grand finale of the original ESC. Last year Nico Santos (28) won the “Free ESC” for Spain. It is not yet known which acts will take place in 2021 for the respective countries.
