Eurovision 2021 - Netherlands - NPO/AVROTROS/NOS

Just when you thought Daði Freyr couldn't get better he covers 'Jaja Ding Dong'

Interesting to look at the blueprint for Junior Eurovision and its remote performance arrangements. These could be used in 2021 for the main contest if C19 persists and prevents a formal show from Rotterdam.

Major online conference today discussing 2021 scenarios - details

As promised, #Eurovision will return in 2021! 🥳

We've been working on 4 scenarios to ensure that the Contest goes ahead and a new winner is crowned on Saturday 22 May!

Looks great to me. Very sleek and modern.

Looking forward to seeing it in use, no matter in which of the four planned forms the shows take.

As expected, Junior Eurovision is being used as their worst case scenario test. It'll certainly be interesting to see how many, if any, countries drop out next year.

FYI the stage is the same one they were going to use this year.

Is that the same stage design as they planned for 2020?

Brekkie, didn't you see gottago's post?

Had to happen

Wonder how many will basically rip off their 2020 entry and try and pass it off as something new.

Has the UK situation been confirmed?

I'm hoping Daði tries something different to combat that situation.

The exact same 41 countries that were supposed to compete in 2020 will compete in 2021:

Yep - you know their 2020 entry has hit mainstream when Strictly stage a dance to it!
