Vesna is a folk-pop band based in Prague that have been performing since 2016, featuring Patricie Kanok Fuxová, Bára Juránková, Tereza Čepková, Olesya Ochepovskaya, Markéta Mužátková and Tanita Yankova. The band members hail from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia and Bulgaria which gives them their distinct Slavic sound.

The band’s name is derived from a mythological female character associated with youth and springtime in early Slavic mythology. They bring Slavic culture and femininity to their music. “My Sister’s Crown’ features lyrics sung in Czech, English, Ukrainian and Bulgarian.

The ESCZ format has worked well for Czech Republic in recent years, with their two best results of 6th (Mikolas Josef - 'Lie to Me' ) and 11th (Lake Malawi -'Friend of a Friend') coming from the format. 2022 winners We Are Domi finished in 22nd in the Grand Final.

Vesna will be performing in the second half of semi-final 1 at Eurovision this year.
