Eurovision News Events


HAVANA, CUBA
AUGUST 13TH - 14TH

On August 13th, Cuba will be transformed into one big party in honor of Fidel Castro's 90th birthday. Concerts are expected to be held across the country with over 100 children's choirs singing in unison. Castro was last seen in April 2016 looking frail as he celebrated the re-election of his younger brother Raul Castro as head of the Cuban Communist Party. Fidel Castro has rarely been seen in public since stepping down in 2008 after nearly five decades in power.

EUROVISION will offer live standup positions from our bureau overlooking Havana bay.

• Standup position with an excellent view of Havana and Havana bay
• Playout (XDCAM, DVCAM, DVCPRO 25, MiniDV, P2, other formats possible with members own camera/ player)
• Non-equipped workspaces available
• Connectivity to the Eurovision Global Network
