Welcome to #esc!

We are a chatroom for Eurovision Song Contest fans around Europe and the whole world.
We love to talk about every aspect of ESC, but chat topics can involve a wide range of subjects. Socialising is an important element of the chatroom, so as you can imagine, we don’t always talk about Eurovision.

We also have some annual events like the ChatVote where we vote for our favourite songs in the chatroom.
If you want to get to know people from many different countries, this is the right place for you.

Sometimes the room might be a bit empty. If it is, try again later. You won’t regret it!

The busiest times tend to be later in the evening, especially at weekends.

If you are totally new to the chat, it might be a good idea to visit us in the afternoon hours, when it’s usually less crowded.

Also note that in the off-season from July to October, the chatroom is generally much less busy than during the national final season or around the time of the big show in May.

If you have any questions, read the FAQ or contact us.

You can join us via software-based chat or the javachat.

For the best chatting experiences, we recommend software-based chat (mIRC for windows or Colloquy for mac). These programmes have a much wider range of features, like DCC (send / receive files) and easier private chats.

Most importantly of all:

You can (and should) always read the topic in which we provide important current information, news and links.
