The ninth edition of Eurovision in Concert has taken place in the Dutch capital. A record 34 countries participated in the concert which was held at the Melkweg, in the heart of Amsterdam. Prior to the event participating artists were welcomed by the outgoing Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Lilianne Ploumen, at a special press event near the city's famous Vondelpark.

Eurovision in Concert was hosted by Dutch Eurovision commentator Cornald Maas and Selma, who represented Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest in both 1999 and 2005. Selma performed both her entries All Out Of Luck and If I Had Your Love, for the crowd during the evening.

Prior to the concert a special press event took place in the city's Vondelpark. Artists mingled with press and fans in the glorious spring sunshine. For most of the acts, the concert is an invaluable opportunity to prepare for what lies ahead in Kyiv. Over the coming days we will be publishing exclusive videos from the event so don't forget to check out the official Eurovision Song Contest channel on YouTube.
