At the concert, beloved Eurovision songs from Estonia and Europe will be sung, which tell the story of Tartu, Estonia and Europe. A joint kiss can be a romantic kiss, a kiss on the cheek with a friend, a hug or a parent kissing their child. 

Unexpected and fresh musical ensembles will take over the stage. Old beloved songs will get a new twist at the concert.
A 5-part "micro-series" created just for this evening will be shown on the screens, in which two young scientists (actors Maarja Johanna Mägi and Kaarel Pogga) try to solve the mystery of the kissing epidemic that has hit Tartu in an X-Files-like mystery.
