As 63rd Song Festival on RTSH draws near, for many of the participating artists, performing live with the RTSH Orchestra is not just a privilege but a great responsibility.

The lineup for the first two nights features a diverse group of artists with no geographical limits, including a notable participation from Arbëresh artists, making this a truly significant event.

Several artists have shared that their return is not only personal—shifting from singers to singer-songwriters—but also part of a larger ambition to represent Albania at Eurovision.

“I want my biography to reflect that this is the fourth time I’ve performed with the Symphonic Orchestra,” said Devis Xherahu.

“I’m excited to enjoy the experience and have fun on stage,” said Endrik Beba.

“When Vesa Smolica takes part in a festival, she always aims for first place,” said the singer.

“I’ve come with that goal in mind, and of course, I’m hopeful,” added Mal Retkoceri.

This highly anticipated event promises surprises for four days in a row, starting with the opening night, which will feature two special guests: Albanian rapper Noizy and renowned French singer Slimane, who will bring another treat for the Albanian audience following his Eurovision success with the hit “Mon Amour.”
