ALL THE EUROVISION COUNTRIES: (45). More: Monday.

Caffè ☕️Lattè looks back on:

ALL THE

EUROVISION

COUNTRIES

The Eurovision Song Contest was first held in 1956. Back then, only 7 countries participated. In the decades since, dozens of other nations have joined the ESC family. As Europe changed, countries faded into history as new countries and new names emerged. Eurovision itself has expanded beyond the European continent; to Africa, the Middle East and the Southern Hemisphere.

Our spotlight looks back on every country that has competed – in chronological order. 

2006

Athens, Greece was the host city for the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, where a new country was welcomed into the fold.

ARMENIA

Armenia first participated in 2006. Although it has yet to win the Contest, the country’s entries have more often than not qualified for the Grand Final. To date, Armenia’s best result is fourth place, achieved in 2008 (with “Qele Qele”) and again in 2014 (“Not Alone”). This year, its entry will compete in Semi-Final 2.
