What next for the performers of Eurovision 2016?

It's likely that Jamala's plans may have changed following her victory, however prior to performing in the Grand final she planned to keep touring:  

After the Eurovision Song Contest I'll keep touring, because this event is in the middle of my Ukrainian tour. On 24th May, I'm going to perform at the main venue in my country.

Michał Szpak, who finished in 8th place for Poland showed no signs of slowing down:

After the Eurovision Song Contest, I have no time for a holiday. I will go to the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole to sing as last year's winner, but I hope to sleep longer too.

Justs who represented Latvia planned to keep busy after Stockholm:

I have many plans after the Eurovision Song Contest; news songs will be revealed, and also some concerts are planned.

Gabriela Gunčíková who took the Czech Republic to the Grand Final for the first ever time said that a holiday was on the top of her list of priorities for after Stockholm. Freddie from Hungary seemed to be following her lead and planned to rest after the Eurovision Song Contest was over.
