EUROVISION PRE PARTY – AMSTERDAM

We can now look at what the Amsterdam pre-party posted.

Eurovision in Concert closely follows the developments concerning the Coron avirus / COVID-19. On this matter we will follow the recommendations of the RIVM (the National Institute for Public Health) and the municipality of Amsterdam. These authorities indicate that there is as yet no reason to avoid or cancel events. If this situation changes, we will of course report this as soon as possible.

AMSTERDAM OUT OF THE 2020 HOSTING RACE

ESC Covers did not really write about all the speculation of 9 cities/towns in the Netherlands that expressed interest to host the 2020 Eurovision song contest. There are enough websites and blogs reporting on that and it is virtually impossible to come up with any new news on such matters.

However, the fact that Amsterdam announced today that it will not host the Eurovision Song Contest in 2020, is quite sad to us since it is the capitol and ESC Covers like the contests to be in the capitol with easier access to the main airport as flying into Europe from South Africa is quite a challenge otherwise.

It seems the capital of the Netherlands cannot submit a suitable venue for the event and so mayor Femke Halsema announced the city’s official withdrawal this afternoon.

ESC Covers now hope it will be Rotterdam.
