WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM?

Minus One is a five piece band that plays everything, from pop and rock classics, to today’s hits. The band does not just play covers but re-arranges and refreshes the songs bringing them closer to the bands own sound.

The band’s strongest asset is their performances and choice of songs. Once they get up on stage its obvious they are up there to have fun and enjoy what they do, taking the people off stage along for the ride.  The energy and great chemistry among the band’s members is phenomenal, also passed on to the crowd off stage and what makes this band stand out.

Τhey keep their playlist fresh, making the performances always interesting and explosive, and endlessly try new things always searching for the next step forward trying to be ahead of the pack and deliver better each time. Their performances are not to be missed since nothing compares to catching them live.

In 2015 Europe got to know them a bit when they entered the national selection of Cyprus for the Eurovision Song Contest and, although the jury gave them the first place, they didn’t make it to Vienna, but this year CyBC chose them internally.

Minus One competed at last years national selection ''Eurovision Song Project'' with ''Shine''!
