This year, due to the unprecedented global situation, the Contest was cancelled for the very first time. With this release and the revised artwork and title our aim is to celebrate the songs intended to be performed in Rotterdam and to honour all the hard work of the artists and songwriters that created them.
The release date of the CD will be 1 day before the ambitious alternative ESC 2020 show, Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light, which will be broadcasted primetime in impressive 45 European countries as well as in Australia.
Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light will bring audiences across Europe and around the world together on 16 May for a very special show. The show will honour all 41 participating entries in a non-competitive format and provide all kinds of surprises for viewers at home along the way. It will also bring together 2020’s artists, from their locations across Europe, in a unifying performance of Eurovision 1997's Love Shine A Light by Katrina And The Waves. As a special feature, the EBU will bring Eurovision fans together for an unforgettable virtual sing-a-long on screen. Fans from across the world will dress up and form a huge Eurovision choir and sing Johnny Logan's What's Another Year. The live show is expected to last approximately 2 hours and will also be broadcast on the official ESC YouTube channel.
In exclusive you can now find all 41 artists and songs who would have been competing in Rotterdam on this still very special 2CD compilation. A Tribute to the Artists and Songs.
