Tonight, at 20.45 (C.E.T) Festivali i Këngës enters its 57th year. On this first evening, the songs will be performed with the traditional FiK orchestra, however, tomorrow, will see the songs performed in a Eurovision-style arrangement and will make use of staging techniques. On Saturday, the songs will be once again performed with the traditional orchestra and, of course, you'll find out the Albanian entry for Tel Aviv.
With the running order for the first night set, and the songs revealed earlier this month, all there is to do is to enjoy the first national final of the 2019 ESC season.
