Many artists from this year's contest have been busy promoting their songs over the last few months, including making guest appearances in various nationals finals. Several also made the effort to attend fan organised events, and fans have also been organising their own preview parties.

On Sunday the 21st of April, no fewer than 23 of this year's participants travelled to Amsterdam for the 'Eurovision In Concert' event, which was attended by around 1350 fans. Eurovision.tv was also there to report on the concert.

There have also been some smaller scale events, for example on the 2nd of May in Tel Aviv, Israel, fans had the opportunity to meet Valentina Monetta from San Marino, as well as their own representatives for Baku, the group Izabo.

Fans have also been holding their own parties across Europe, in order to watch, and vote, on the preview videos, all hoping that they can predict the outcome of Europe's Favourite TV Show.

Many organised parties will be also be taking place on the nights of the Semi-Finals and Final of the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.
