28th edition

The twenty-eighth edition of We Are One Song Contest took place in London, capital of England and the  United Kingdom.

The venue chosen for the occasion has been the famous football stadium Wembley Stadium and the presenters selected were Harry Styles and Ellie Goulding. The slogan has been "Shine like Diamonds" and the theme song "Lost (JJD Remix)", by Kontinuum feat. Savoi.

The  United Kingdom, thanks to the victory last edition, automatically qualified to the final, along with  Andorra and  Albania, which placed second and third. Three semi-finals took place and 8 countries made it from each one of them.

    From this edition a new metod was adopted to avoid ties between countries. Instead of checking which country received more "12 points", from now on the country that got points from the most countries qualified. As always, the songs that arrived 9th had the opportunity to qualify going through the "Second Chance" round. 28 countries competed in the grand final.

    The southwestern Pacific Ocean island country of  New Zealand ended up taking the victory in the end, thanks to the song "Wanted", by the singer Ben Hazlewood.
