escgo! is an international fan website for the Eurovision Song Contest. Our main features are the Eurovision chat “#esc” and our blog, which contains news, opinion pieces and other interesting items from the world of ESC.

This site started out as “esc-chat.com” back in 2008. We subsequently changed our name to “escgo!” in 2015 and relaunched with a brand new design in 2017.

This website is owned and registered in the United Kingdom.

The Eurovision chat “#esc” was launched in June 2004, when it emerged from the earlier chatroom “#eurosong” (itself originally founded in the late 1990s). A large part of the community has stayed the same over the years, meaning that our history dates back much further than the official launch of #esc and the escgo! website! You can find out more about the chat on the “Help” and “About the Chat” tabs on our Chat page.
