[M]The online concert will take place[/M] on May 16 [M]on the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel[/M] and will be broadcast on national broadcasters of the Union member countries.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2020 should have been the 65th edition of the competition. This would have taken place in the Netherlands, following the victory of the Dutchman Duncan Laurence in the 2019 edition (with the song Arcade). The country would then have hosted Eurovision for the fifth time, after the 1958, 1970, 1976 and 1980 editions. Five cities apply to host the competition, of which only Rotterdam and Maastricht pass the preliminary stages. They were finally decided at the end of August 2019, the organizers - AVROTROS, NOS and NPO - selecting the premiere and its Rotterdam Ahoy venue. In October, the slogan Open Up (in French Open up), symbolizing the theme of openness to the world, is chosen. In November, the participation of 41 countries for this edition is announced. Between December and February 2020, the four presenters of the competition, live and online (3 women and one man), are appointed. The semi-finals are scheduled for May 12 and 14, 2020 and the final for May 16, 2020. However, following the Covid-19 pandemic, some delegations are canceling their trip to the first meeting, on March 9 and 10, 2020.

Amsterdam (pron. / ˈAmsterdam /; in Dutch: / ˌɑmstər'dɑm /,; in archaic Italian Amsterdamo) is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. The municipality of Amsterdam has 854,047 residents (as of 2018) of over 170 nationalities, while the population residing in the metropolitan area is approximately 2,289,770 people. The area included in the 17th century canal belt within the Singelgracht is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (see Amsterdam Canals). The city has one of the largest Renaissance centers in all of Europe. Numerous buildings dating back to the period between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, also known as the "Golden Age", are now considered historical monuments and are placed around a series of concentric polygonal canals. These surround the old port, which once overlooked the Zuiderzee, today a lake separated from the rest of the sea and known as the IJsselmeer. The city is home to the Rijksmuseum (state museum), the Van Gogh museum, the Concertgebouw, the Rembrandthuis, the Anne Frank house and a huge number of bicycles. It is also famous for its red light district, De Wallen, and its many coffee shops licensed for the sale of marijuana and cannabis derivatives. The city's official motto is "Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig" ("valiant, determined, merciful").

[M]Amsterdam[/M] (Dutch pronunciation: [ɑmstərˈdɑm]) [M]is the[/M] largest city in the Netherlands, the [M]official capital[/M] (the Dutch government, parliament and head of state and all embassies are based in The Hague, which is therefore the actual capital of the Netherlands), and is located in the province of Noord-Holland.
Amsterdam (pron. / ˈAmsterdam /; in Dutch: / ˌɑmstər'dɑm /,; in archaic Italian Amsterdamo) is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. The municipality of Amsterdam has 854,047 residents (as of 2018) of over 170 nationalities, while the population residing in the metropolitan area is approximately 2,289,770 people. The area included in the 17th century canal belt within the Singelgracht is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (see Amsterdam Canals). The city has one of the largest Renaissance centers in all of Europe. Numerous buildings dating back to the period between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, also known as the "Golden Age", are now considered historical monuments and are placed around a series of concentric polygonal canals. These surround the old port, which once overlooked the Zuiderzee, today a lake separated from the rest of the sea and known as the IJsselmeer. The city is home to the Rijksmuseum (state museum), the Van Gogh museum, the Concertgebouw, the Rembrandthuis, the Anne Frank house and a huge number of bicycles. It is also famous for its red light district, De Wallen, and its many coffee shops licensed for the sale of marijuana and cannabis derivatives. The city's official motto is "Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig" ("valiant, determined, merciful").
