Albanian broadcaster RTSH has announced the artists that will participate in the 63rd edition of 'Festivali i Këngës'.

In December, Albania's Festivali i Këngës returns for its 63rd edition. As in previous years, the song competition will be used to select Albania's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest.

In a slight chance to recent editions, however, just one vote will take place to determine a sole winner - and it will be this artist and song that have the honour of representing Albania in Basel.

From 85 song submissions received in September, broadcaster RTSH has whittled the entries down and formally selected the 30 songs that will compete across the 4 nights of Festivali i Këngës in December.

These are the artists that will be performing them:
