THE HOST CITY
In 2019, the Dutch entry “Arcade”,
performed by Duncan Lawrence, won the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, Israel. As a result, the
Netherlands gained the right to hold the 2020 Contest. Rotterdam was selected
as the host city.
This will be the 5th time
the Contest has been held in the Netherlands, but the first time the ESC has
been held in the 2nd largest Dutch city. Previous host cities in the
country have been: Hilversum (1958), Amsterdam (1970) and The Hague (1976 &
1980).
By the way, Dublin holds the record
for hosting the most Eurovision Song Contests. It has been the host city 6
times!
