Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light

Amid the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was cancelled in March 2020. The 41 songs that would have competed were supposed to be whittled down to 26.

Instead, a series of programmes will be aired on the BBC to honor the 64-year history of Eurovision and the 41 entries to its 2020 installment. These will be hosted by Graham Norton and Rylan Clark-Neal.

None of the 2020 songs will be allowed to compete in 2021. In the next edition, the participating countries may send the same artist but he or she has to perform a new song.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2020 grand final was supposed to take place in the Netherlands on May 16, 2020. But due to its cancellation, a two-hour special titled “Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light” will air on public broadcasting channels in more than 40 countries in Europe.

Norton will provide commentary for the “Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light” viewers in the United Kingdom. The show will honor the 41 Eurovision 2020 songs and there will be no winner for this edition.
