May 11, 2020 – The Croatian Music Association and the Porin Board of Directors have concluded that due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 27th Porin Music Awards will be held exclusively on television

T.portal writes that the decision to postpone Porin was made on March 11 due to the epidemiological situation in Croatia. Thus, Unison – Croatian Music Association and the Porin Board of Directors, taking into account the opinion and forecast of the experts, decided to hold the 27th Porin Music Awards exclusively as a TV show on HRT, for the first time in its long history. The show will be held on Friday, May 15, 2020, at 8:05 pm on HTV 1 and HR 2.

Following the recommendation of the Civil Protection Headquarters and county epidemiological services on measures to be taken until the situation with COVID-19 normalizes, which includes a ban on gathering more people in one place (especially indoors), it was decided that to protect the health of all musicians, but also all in the organization of the event, this year’s Porin will be held exclusively as a television show. All participants will report from their homes. More information about the awards show itself will be known in the coming days.

It is important to point out that the money with which the founding associations (HDS and HGU) would support the Porin Music Award has been redirected to funds to help musicians in these difficult times.
