Eurovision this month: Ticket sales, more artists, presenters & stage

The stage is here

The design is inspired by the theme 'Open Up' and the typical, flat Dutch landscape. Stage designer Florian Wieder won the pitch for the stage design, in which both Dutch and foreign designers took part, this fall.

According to Sietse Bakker, Executive Producer Event of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, this design fits the story the creators want to tell seamlessly: “The design is innovative, modest and functionally smart. This way we can create a completely different look for each of the 41 participating acts, opening and interval acts, and during the voting results. We’ll present an innovative stage design, grand in its simplicity and yet full of surprises."

2020 postcard concept revealed

The organization asked regular Dutch people to apply with their sports club, group or community. Their goal is to show Europe and the participating artists a unique part of the Netherlands in the form of Dutch activities, traditions and hobbies. Using the 'Open Up' theme as the backbone for the postcards, the organization wants to show the positive, connecting force of the Dutch community.
