Jeff Satur and Dara join Eurovision Song Contest Asia

Thai singer-songwriter Jeff Satur and Eurovision champion Dara will perform as special guests at the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest Asia Grand Final at One Bangkok Forum on Nov 14.

The contest has also revealed the running order for its 11 competing acts, alongside a specially commissioned opening performance and an appearance by Azerbaijani artist Jamal as the opening warm-up act.

The show will begin with “Bangkok Sounds And Senses”, an opening performance created especially for the inaugural contest. Bringing together the city’s contrasting rhythms, the performance will introduce audiences to Bangkok through moments of serenity, graceful expression and exuberant energy, a welcome to the Host City and the first Eurovision Song Contest Asia.

Jeff is one of Thailand’s leading contemporary artists and an increasingly prominent voice on the international Asian music scene. A singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Jeff is known for expressive vocals and a musical style spanning pop, R&B, rock and electronic influences. Dara will perform a special version of “Bangaranga”, the song that secured Bulgaria’s first Eurovision victory at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna earlier this year. Winning the jury and public votes, her performance introduced audiences worldwide to her distinctive voice and high-energy dance-pop sound.

Known offstage as Jamal Gasimov, the Azerbaijani singer-songwriter was selected by judges through an international competition hosted on Zoop, earning the opportunity to share his music with audiences in Bangkok. Blending emotional vocals with contemporary pop production, Jamal placed third at Sanremo Junior 2025. Although Azerbaijan is not competing in Eurovision Song Contest Asia, his appearance adds another international voice to the celebration.

The 11 competing acts will perform in the following order:

1. Vietnam: Tóc Tiên – Em Tiên

2. Cambodia: Monetrey – I Let You Go

3. Laos: Thinla – Bae

4. Mongolia: Beck – Chamguigeer (Without You)
