Unlike the format used in the Eurovision Song Contest there are two versions of the ABU Song Festival . The ABU Radio Song Festival 2012 and the ABU TV Song Festival 2012 , which were both scheduled to take place between 11 and 17 October 2012 during the 49th ABU General Assembly . During the TV Festival , participants from eleven countries performed a song from their repertoire in a musical gala presentation . The theme for the festivals was ' Beyond the Wave ' , which has been inspired by the digital evolution changes in the global media
