Rotterdam, get ready to rock!
The Dutch city has been chosen as the location for the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest.
As is tradition, the winning country of the previous year gets to host the following year’s competition.
Duncan Laurence claimed victory in May when the song “Arcade” was chosen by viewers around Europe as the best song of the year.
His win in Tel Aviv was the first for The Netherlands since 1975!
Numerous Dutch cities bid to host the event, which attracts tourists from around the world for a week of music, parties, and fun.
Rotterdam has now officially been selected by the European Broadcasting Union and announced that the semi-finals will be held on May 12th and 14th, 2020, with the final on May 16th.
“As an entrepreneurial and creative city, Rotterdam fits perfectly with this event,” said Shula Rijxman, who is the Director-General of Dutch public broadcaster NPO.
Douze points, Rotterdam!
