Azerbaijan’s representative in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, Elnur Huseynov has started his promo tour around Europe.

His first stop fell on Latvian capital of Riga, where Elnur attended Eurovision pre-party Riga 2015 on April 10.

Elnur together with other participants including representatives of Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Poland, Moldova and Switzerland, performed the entry song for the Eurovision on Vienna stage.

The event was also remembered with performances of former winners including, Eldar Gasimov (Azerbaijan 2011), Maria Naumova (Latvia 2002), Alexander Rybak (Norway 2009) and Zlata Ognevixh (Ukrainian participant 2013).

Next, Elnur is going to visit 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.

The singer also plans to drop in at the famous annual “Eurovision in Concert in Amsterdam” party on April 18 to join on stage participants from ten other Eurovision countries.

Elnur is looking forward to taking part in a Pre-Eurovision Concert in Moscow on April 24 and be joined on stage by participants from ten other Eurovision countries.

Another three countries which are on Elur’s promo tour before Vienna will be announced soon on Elnur’s official website elnurlive.com.

Although Elnur has a very tight schedule, he will still meet his fans in as many countries as possible.

“I’ve missed this entire pre-Eurovision buzz – staying on the road, meeting with fans and fellow contestants. I’m happy to be back with the family!” Elnur said.

Austria will host the final of the 60th Eurovision on May 23. The semifinals of the international contest will be held on May 19 and 21. Elnur will perform his mystical contemporary ballad Hour Of The Wolf under the 11th number in the second semifinal.
