Latvia

In a dramatic turn of events, it was announced by the Latvian Broadcaster, LTV, that Markus Riva will be qualifying to the final of Supernova after all. 

2018 did not become the year of Markus Riva. He once again tried to represent Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 but did not make it to the final of Supernova. Riva was eliminated after the second semi final on Saturday.

Edgars Kreilis has won the first heat of Supernova in Latvia. In a rather mediocre first show, the youngster gave a solid performance of his modern pop song “Younger Days”. This was enough to sail into the next round.

For the fourth year in a row, Markus Riva makes an attempt to represent Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest. He has taken part in all the editions of the Supernova shows thus far.

After their last place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, Latvia will make some changes to their Supernova format, selecting the song and artist for 2018. The shows will take place in February.

In the upcoming days, we take a look at the aftermath of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. In this third episode we talk about the three Baltic nations that all failed to qualify for the final. What went wrong for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

LTV have decided to send Triana Park with the song “Line” to Eurovision 2017 in Kiev. Park won the national final tonight in Riga.

Triana Park, My Radiant You, The Ludvig and Santa Daneleviĉa have reached the final of Supernova in Latvia. They will battle for ticket to the Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev, next Sunday.
