The Dutch city was due to host the Contest in 2020 before the event was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Grand Final took place on 22 May 2021.
The venue for the 2021 Contest will, like in 2020, be Ahoy in Rotterdam. The venue has hosted several big events, including the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007.
The winner Italy, came at the evening with a rock act that was by turns Freddie Mercury and Rage Against the Machine. “Rotterdam: make some noise” they screamed. And the limited crowd made that noise. I hope the trousers catch on, they were superb. Rock is a big deal in Italy so it’s good to see them bring that to Eurovision.
