During the broadcast of the special Eurovision: Shine A Light show this evening it was announced that Rotterdam will be the host city of the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest.

An entertaining show gave all 41 songs from the 2020 Eurovision a 30 second slot to celebrate their selections. There were many special guests and emotional times such as Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA making an heart warming speech and all 41 acts from this year singing the 1997 United Kingdom Eurovision winning song Love Shine A Light by Katrina & The Waves, with an appearance at the end of the song by Katrina herself.

Tonight the slogan for the 2020 Junior Eurovision Song Contest was also revealed – #Move The World. It is hoped the contest will take place in November in Warsaw in Poland.

You can see the artists of the 2020 Eurovision singing Love Shine A Light below.
