We’re diving deeper into the technical side of the Eurovision Song Contest, because Vivi is heading to Vienna in May to cover it on site🎤
To understand what it really takes behind the scenes, we went to Wuppertal to visit @riedelcommunications and joined them during their final ESC preparations.
In this video, Yung Min Lee, Senior Project Manager at Riedel, breaks down what they’re bringing on site and how all systems come together to connect a show of this scale across countries.
From 700 to 800 radios operating on 60 channels to signal distribution, commentary systems and MediorNet core infrastructure, this is what powers communication and connectivity behind the scenes🔧

huge thank you to @riedelcommunications for the invitation to the Green Room!
It was truly an honor and honestly, you couldn’t have experienced the show from a better spot. Really appreciate this unforgettable experience
Yesterday we had the opportunity to join @sennheiser for a behind-the-scenes guided tour at the #ESC
We got some incredible insights into the technical side of the production and experienced firsthand what goes on behind such a massive live event and the possibilities that come with it.
Big thanks to Sennheiser for the invitation, a more detailed reel is coming soon! 🤩 #eurovision
A look at the ESC stage before the show begins!
Even without the crowd, you can already feel the scale of the production, from the lighting design to the massive stage and visuals…

Vivi spotted the event tech at the Eurovision Village in Vienna 🤩
The Eurovision Village turns Vienna’s Rathausplatz into one huge ESC public viewing and fan zone with live shows, concerts, karaoke, DJs, and thousands of Eurovision fans coming together…
Of course, Vivi also had an eye on the technical side. From the FOH to moving heads and the massive LED setup bringing the whole ESC atmosphere to life.
See you tomorrow! Good night
