Eurovision champ Conchita Wurst to play London’s G-A-Y
By Nick Levine
Conchita Wurst is to perform at London’s G-A-Y club night at Heaven this Saturday (May 24).
This will be the Eurovision champion’s first live performance in the UK since winning the annual Song Contest earlier this month (May 10).
Wurst, real name Tom Neuwirth, will perform her winning song Rise Like a Phoenix and could also treat fans to her popular cover of Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. £5 entry wristbands will be available in advance from G-A-Y Bar on Old Compton Street.
Rise Like a Phoenix entered the UK’s Official Singles Chart this Sunday (May 18) at number 17, giving Wurst her debut chart hit.
She follows in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora, who have already performed at the iconic London club night this year. Demi Lovato will take to the stage at G-A-Y the week after Wurst, on May 31.
