It is time to let the competition begin again! I, with Shaun's knowledge AND Riley's lovely ideas, decided to create a spiritual successor to TiBB Eurovision.

We Are One. Bienvenue en Montpellier. What songs will be heard? Where are the constant translations into French? When will the madness end? No idea.

Past editions of TiBB Music Festival:
Pittsburgh 01 (August 2019) - (Winner: Australia, ceremony starts p.4)
Gold Coast 02 (October 2019) - (Winner: Serbia, ceremony starts p.2)
Belgrade 03 (January 2020) - (Winner: Norway, ceremony starts p.4)
Oslo 04 (March 2020) - (Winner: United Kingdom, ceremony starts p.2)
Manchester 05 (April 2020) - (Winner: Italy, ceremony starts p.2)
Italy 06 (June 2020) - (Winner: Denmark, ceremony starts p.2)
Copenhagen 07 (August 2020) - (Winner: United States, final starts p.3)
Pittsburgh 08 (February 2021) - (Winner: South Korea, ceremony starts p.4)
Pittsburgh 09 (April 2023) - (Winner: Sweden, ceremony starts p.2)
Stockholm 10 (May/June 2023) - (Winner: Czechia, ceremony starts p.2)
Prague 11 (August/September 2023) - (Winner: South Africa, ceremony starts p.3)
Johannesburg 12 (January 2024) - (Winner: Türkiye, ceremony starts p.2)
Toronto 13 (June 2024) - (Winner: United States, ceremony starts p.4)

The format of the TiBB Music Festival will remain similar to TiBB Eurovision, however, there are some changes. I will have a Spotify playlist of all of the songs for you to listen to the songs during the voting period.


The voting system from the first few editions returns. Every country will each give out two sets of 12, 10, and 8-1 points; one for the jury voting, and the other for the televoting. The Rest of the Forum vote returns as well, but as an extra set of 12, 10, 8–1 points in the televote.


- If you want to take part, reply to this thread with the countries you want! But please, if you do reserve a country, I expect an entry.
--From this edition onwards, everyone can choose between 1 and 3 countries to participate as.
- In a change from TiBB Eurovision, participants can now choose a song that is already in the public database (look on Spotify or YouTube, there are plenty of songs on either one).
- Lyrics, an artist name, song title AND music video are all that's required.
- Entries must be submitted to me as soon as possible. The voting portion of the contest will take place over the course of a 1 week period.
- And for the first time since Globalvision, countries that are not in Europe or Australia will be able to participate.

You have as much time as you need to find your entries. Please find songs that we all may enjoy, and please don't feel afraid to take part The more entries, the more fun it is to run. Songs can be about anything you like, and whilst we are fairly liberal with what is deemed "in good taste" obviously a song containing 30 different death threats may well find itself lost in my inbox and doomed never to enter.

The winner of this glorious festivity shall also receive a supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics a spot in the TiBB Music Festival Hall of Fame! - so if that isn't motivation to bring your A-game, I don't know what is.

For the first time, the host country and Big 5 (the 5 countries with the highest overall average of points) will all qualify for the final. All of the countries mentioned below will be free game. From now on, the UK will be split into the 4 nations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Because of the war in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia will not be selectable until further notice. Because of the war in Gaza and tensions in the Middle East, Israel will not be selectable until further notice.

[Nicky91]

i've submitted 3 wonderful entries now all 3 ready to spice tibb music fest up

[UserSince2005]

what are the rules for picking the songs?

[Josiah.]

The only 2 big rules I have for song selections are:
1. Nothing overly offensive
2. Songs should be by artists from the country selected, but not required

[Josiah.]

I'm trying to find a good instrumental song for the Parade of Nations, and I think I found it.

Also, if a mod could sticky this thread so no one is scrolling for it later? That would be very helpful.

[Ammi]

…oh yes please, Josiah…it would be lovely to be a part of this again..…I’ll take Wales for sure and get back back to you with some other countries when I’ve had a proper chance to look ….

[Josiah.]

[Josiah.]

OP has been updated again. We are now up to 24 countries!

[Josiah.]

And I have received songs from Nicky and Ammi.
