The 61st Kalosian Song Festival, 2021
*TO BE UPDATED
1° Seratë | 2° Seratë | 3° Seratë* | 4° Seratë*
Established in 1962, the Kalosian Song Festival (FKK) is an annually run domestic song contest, and the most high profile of its kind in the Republic of Kalosia. The festival, which was inspired by Italy's Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo, is a highly anticipated show every year and reflects the quality of Kalosian music.
Last year, we celebrated 6 decades of the successful running of FKK. This year marks the 61st edition of the event, with a format similar to last year's. With 4 days of festivities and 24 competing artists, the format is as follows:
1° Seratë (1st evening)
The first 12 acts perform their songs. 7 of them will qualify to the final, with voting decided by a combination of jury and televoting, although results are not announced this night.
2° Seratë (2nd evening)
The second 12 acts perform their songs. Again, 7 of them will qualify to the final, with voting decided by a combination of jury and televoting, and results are not announced.
3° Seratë (3rd evening)
This evening is a celebration of Kalosian music. All 24 acts each perform a cover of a Kalosian song, with their choices ranging from 50s classics to modern favourites. The best performance is determined by televoting, and the act presented with an award. Then, the 14 qualifiers are announced.
4° Seratë (4th evening)
The 14 qualifying acts perform their songs one more time. A winner is determined by a combination of jury and televoting.
The Acts
It was announced that Kalosia's representative for the 100th WorldVision Song Contest will be chosen from the pool of competitors in the 2022 edition of this festival. Like last year, each act will be asked if they would like to compete in WorldVision, although WV will not be considered a priority in the context of this festival. The FKK winner will have right of first refusal; should they decline, the runner up will be asked, and so forth.
