In addition we will see  Ivo Linna (1996) and Tanja (2014) who are making an attempt for a comeback on the Eurovision stage.

Essti Laul 2021 will take place over three nights, consisting of two semi finals and a grand final show, all set to be held exclusively in the capital city of Tallinn. The timeline of the Estonian selection has as below:

Uku Suviste won the Esti Laul 2020 national final with the song “What Love Is” but due to the cancellation of Eurovision the musician was deprived the chance to represent Estonia in Rotterdam this year.
