The preview party in the Netherlands has turned out to become quite a big party with 23 of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest participants confirmed and a former Dutch participant as host. The party takes place in Amsterdam, but all participants will be offered a visit to the capital, The Hague earlier today.
It is a fantastic line-up Amsterdam offers tonight with 23 participants performing tonight. As a special guest star Måns Zelmerlöw from Melodifestivalen will appear on stage as well. The performers will meet in the Hague today for a welcome reception, a guided tour around the capital by the Dutch participants The Toppers and a visit to Madurodam which is a miniature city where you can see all major buildings of the Netherlands in a smaller version.
In the evening they will all be headed for Amsterdam where the concert will start at 21:00. The hosts of tonight are Marga Butt (Eurovision Song Contest 1987) and Maggie McNeal (Eurovision Song Contest 1974 and 1980).
