OGAE Portugal in collaboration with the Municipalities of the Portuguese city Setubal near Lisbon organised their third annual Eurovision Live Concert on 10 September 2011.

The day started with a sightseeing trip along the coast and with an amazing view onto the Atlantic as well as an insight tour into the cement factory SECIL which sponsored amongst others the event. After a common lunch with some of the participating artists, journalists and fans the Soundcheck was done in the Jose Alfonso Auditorium where JP and the Radio International Team on location already conducted the first interviews with the performing artists.

After 2100 hours the auditorium filled with the local and many international fans and the show started with the famous "Te Deum" and presenters opened the show. At this point we would like to thank the board of OGAE Portugal, the City of Setubal and the many sponsers making the great event possible and of course the many fans that attended as spectators.

On the guest list were:

Andrea Demirovic (Montenegro 2009)
