The songs with which all artists would participate in the now postponed Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam in May are excluded from participation in 2021. This does not apply to the artists themselves, the organization reports Friday via Twitter.
The organization behind the Eurovision Song Contest says it is thinking about an alternative programming around the canceled international song contest. The aim is to honor the songs and participants selected for 2020.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the Eurovision Song Contest was canceled due to the corona virus. Broadcaster AVROTROS made it immediately clear that Jeangu Macrooy will continue to be the Dutch participant in 2021.
A spokesman for AVROTROS informed NU.nl that the broadcaster had already been notified by the organization of the Eurovision song contest prior to the public announcement. It is not known whether this also applied to Macrooy.
