About the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest

Saturday the 16th of May, should have been the final of the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. As that didn’t take place, the Dutch hosts organised Europe Shine A Light as a way to still celebrate the acts and the songs selected. At the end of that programme, we got the announcement that Rotterdam will host the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest too.

It’s still too early to say where we – and Coronavirus – are in year. The Dutch government stated a there won’t be larger gatherings in the country allowed until a vaccine is found, mass produced and available for everyone. The statement about the 2021 contest in Rotterdam took that into account with the words: ‘One way or another… ‘.

2020 tickets, if audience is allowed in the same amount, will be valid for the 2021 contest. For those who can’t make it, a refund will be offered – under certain circumstances.

Dates for the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest are expected to be announced within the next few weeks.
