Four more 2020 acts reselected for Eurovision 2021

Four more countries confirm that the acts selected to represent them at the axed 2020 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest have been chosen again for 2021.

Another four acts have been reselected to represent their respective countries at next year's Eurovision Song Contest.

This year's contest had been due to take place this weekend but was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, shattering the hopes of the 41 acts who had been due to perform.

Under the competition's rules, none of those acts is able to compete with the same song next year, but there is nothing to stop them representing their country with a new song.

A total of 18 countries have now confirmed that the act chosen to represent them in 2020 will do so in 2021, with four more announcements made today.

Destiny of Malta, San Marino entry Senhit, Latvia's Samanta Tīna and Ana Soklic of Slovenia will all be back next year when the contest is staged in Rotterdam.

Some countries with extensive national selection shows, including Sweden's Melodifestivalen, are not expected to automatically reselect their 2020 acts.
