Today TIX is back on stage of H3 Arena in Fornebu to record his performance for Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Stig Karlsen hopes that it will be possible to travel to Rotterdam for the show but they are preparing live on tape performance just in case contest organises in some other scenario which excludes live performance.

Sport industry has managed to organise some international events, and Eurovision is the Olympics of music shows. It is a major event that unites the whole Europe. We believe and hope that we will be able to do it right enough just with some restrictions. It will be a slightly different Eurovision.
