AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The 2021 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in limited form in the Dutch city of Rotterdam in May due to restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, organisers said on Wednesday.
Some performances will be held in the city on May 18, 20 and 22, in a “socially distanced” way, organizers said, without specifying whether any live audience would be allowed in. Some delegations may submit recorded performances.
