San Marino’s next Eurovision entrant will be revealed on January 21st.

San Marinese broadcaster RTV has stated that their participant for the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest will be revealed during a press conference on January 21st. They have also acknowledged the rumours surrounding their internally selected artist, and neither confirms nor denies the rumours.

One popular rumour on social media is that “Human Ken Doll” Rodrigo Alves will sing for the country, which transpired after he teased his participation on his social media. This was later backed up with the confirmation that an international artist would represent the country this year.

Earlier last month, SMRTV revealed that they would not be using last year’s 1in360, despite 1in360’s plans for an even bigger show. Read more about the decision here.
