Greek Eurovision professional Elias Kokotos will serve as Show Supervisor for Eurovision 2027, according to the organisational structure announced today.
Kokotos will oversee and coordinate the three live television shows of the contest, which Bulgaria will host in 2027.
He is one of three key figures in the Eurovision 2027 organisational structure who report directly to Bulgarian Television Director-General Milena Milotinova. In his role, Kokotos will coordinate the artistic team, production staff and presenters while playing a central role in shaping the television spectacle.
Kokotos will oversee the opening sequences, interval acts, postcards and the smooth implementation of the participating countries’ production requirements. He will also serve as a key link between the various production teams, ensuring that each element fits seamlessly into the overall presentation of the shows.
From project management to overseeing the entire show
Kokotos brings more than 20 years of Eurovision experience to the role. He has worked as a project manager on major entries for different countries, achieving six top-three finishes — three second-place and three third-place results.
In 2026, he also led Bulgaria to its historic Eurovision victory.
Overall, Kokotos has worked with nine different countries, building extensive experience in the artistic, creative and production requirements of Eurovision delegations.
He now moves into a significantly broader role. After managing individual national entries, he will oversee the entire television production, with responsibility for all three Eurovision 2027 shows.
His appointment raises expectations for a Eurovision production featuring a fresh visual identity, new concepts and innovative ideas.
Eurovisionfun welcomed the development, expressing pride that a Greek professional will take on such a senior role in the preparation and staging of the contest.
According to Eurovisionfun, this marks the first time since 2006 that a Greek professional will play such a significant role in the preparation and delivery of the Eurovision Song Contest.
