Highway gained significant fame in their home nation after performing and competing on X Factor Adria and were a popular choice to represent Montenegro in Stockholm.  

Unfortunately they’re off to Sweden with a fairly unengaging bit of rock and, as many Eurovisionianados know, rock bands can be very hit and miss at the contest. Montenegro is a miss this year. Next.

Two Questions with Highway:

What are the three most interesting aspects about your entry?
  1. We believe we have something new to offer. The song is quite different, so you can never get tired of listening to it
  2. The show we are preparing will have a lot of surprises and we can promise that people won't forget it.
  3. We support each other a lot before going on stage, and just think positive.
Why is the Eurovision Song Contest important for you?
The Eurovision Song Contest is important for us, because we have an opportunity to represent our country and we'll give our best.
