Eurovision Connects 2 is a timely reminder of what Eurovision can do when it transcends politics and focuses on glitter and competition: unite people through music for a greater cause. Bringing together fan-favourite Eurovision artists and contributors from across the contest’s long and varied history, the album channels the joy, camp, and emotional power of Eurovision into meaningful support for cancer research at The Royal Marsden Cancer charity in the UK.
At its core, Eurovision Connects 2 is a love letter to the Eurovision community. Long celebrated as a safe haven for LGBTQIA+ audiences and a platform for unapologetic self-expression, Eurovision has always thrived on solidarity until recent issues with geopolitics, genocides and wars.
This fundraiser leans away from the politics and into that spirit Eurovision was founded on, curating tracks that reflect the contest’s diversity! Soaring ballads, euphoric pop anthems, and experimental genre-benders, while reminding listeners that music can be both escapist and impactful.
Artists include our very own Kelly Wilde, Nicki French, John Springate, Sonia and many more.
What sets Eurovision Connects 2 apart is its sense of collective goodwill. Artists, producers, and rights-holders have come together with a shared understanding that the reach of Eurovision fandom is immense, passionate, and deeply engaged. Every stream, download, and purchase directly contributes to life-saving research, turning fan enthusiasm into tangible outcomes beyond the scoreboard.

The album also serves as an accessible entry point for casual listeners. Even without encyclopaedic Eurovision knowledge, the collection plays like a vibrant compilation of modern European pop, rich with emotion and personality. For devoted fans, however, it carries added resonance — a chance to support a cause while celebrating a contest that has soundtracked so many personal and communal milestones.
Ultimately, Eurovision Connects 2 proves that Eurovision’s greatest victory isn’t measured in points, but in its capacity to mobilise joy, generosity, and hope on a global scale.
