For the first time in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, a non-contestant Global Superstar, Justin Timberlake, will enter the Eurovision stage in Stockholm. He will perform the #1 single, “Can’t Stop the Feeling.” The announcement of Justin’s appearance comes on the heels of news that the Eurovision Song Contest will be telecast in America for the first time in many years.
American fans will be able to tune into LOGO at 3 pm ET on Saturday May 14 to watch it live. Also, the two semi-final shows and the May 14 final can be watched across the pond through the local EBU member European broadcaster, SBS in Australia and, if none of those are an option, via a live stream on the official Eurovision website (link: http://www.eurovision.tv/) or YouTube.
