As we sadly know the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest will not take place this year but a special programme will be broadcast on 16 May at 21:00 (CET), Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light, to be produced by the EBU and Dutch broadcasters NPO, NOS and AVROTROS.

The show will honour the 41 selected 2020 Eurovision songs as well as having plenty of surprises. The EBU are encouraging the original 41 competing broadcasters to air the show.

Eurovision.tv advised “The show also intends to bring together 2020’s artists, from their locations across Europe, in a performance of a past Eurovision hit, with unifying lyrics appropriate for the current situation we find ourselves in”.

Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light will be hosted by the original chosen 2020 Eurovision presenters, Chantal Janzen, Edsilia Rombley and Jan Smit.
