Afterwards the Azerbaijani singer will attend the Eurovision pre-party Riga 2015, performing alongside the former Eurovision winners Alexander Rybak (2009), Azerbaijani Eldar Gasimov (2011) and Maria Naumova (2002).

Elnur's next destination will be Budapest. The Azerbaijani contestant will make some TV appearances on April 13. The singer will meet Boggie, this year’s Hungarian choice for Vienna, and, of course, perform his entry for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest.
