The RTSH Song Festival is one of the longest-running and prestigious institutions of Albanian music, shaping the country's pop music scene for decades. Organized by the Albanian Radio Television (RTSH), the festival takes place every year as a major live music competition, presenting new songs by renowned composers and artists or new talents.
In each edition, the festival brings live orchestration, premiere performances and a stage production that makes it one of the most popular cultural events in Albania. In addition to its artistic values, the Song Festival also has an important international role, as for years it has served as a platform for the selection of the song that represents Albania in Eurovision.
With the history, tradition, and innovations it brings in each edition, the Song Festival remains a reference point for the development of Albanian music and an annual celebration that unites the public around song.
