The Eurovision Song Contest 2014 will be the 59th annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place in Denmark, following Emmelie de Forest's win in the 2013 contest with the song "Only Teardrops". This will be the third time that Denmark will host the contest, the last time being in 2001. Denmark is also the first country to win twice in the new millennium.[1]

So far sixteen countries have confirmed participation. The preliminary dates set for the two semi-finals are 13 May and 15 May 2014, with the final planned for the evening of 17 May 2014.[2][3]
