He will sing his Eurovision song Together, as well as Daði og Gagnamagnið's Think About Things (Iceland 2020). After he heard he will be covering Think About Things, he exclaimed: "We are certainly going to have some fun with the cover!"
Ryan recently moved to Los Angeles, where he started working on new music:
Rasmussen (Denmark 2018)
Also from the Eurovision class of 2018 is Rasmussen, or Jonas Flodager Rasmussen, as he was born. He will sing his Eurovision Song Higher Ground, as well as a cover of Only Teardrops by Emmelie de Forest.
Rasmussen started touring in early March 2020, but the tour had to be cancelled due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, as he explains on Instagram:
Tamara Todevska (North Macedonia 2019)
Tamara Todevska represented North Macedonia in 2019 and won the jury vote. She will sing her song Proud as well as a cover of Italy's 2019 entry, Mahmood's Soldi.
Slavko Kalezic (Montenegro 2017)
How can we forget Montenegro's Slavko Kalezic and his endlessly long braid from the Eurovision Song Contest 2017? In his Eurovision Home Concert, Slavko will sing his song Space and a cover of Eleni Foureira's Fuego. He is very excited to participate and you can definitely expect an exciting and unique version of Fuego: "Omg! I enjoyed recording it! You will see. I really wanted to make sure our Eurovision fans will be entertained!"
