behind the scenes of Live-On-Tape recordings, the last resort back up option in case artists cannot make to rotterdam, but we all hope of course we don't need to use those (some artists find it fun to record it 3 times in a row, extra preparation time en route for rotterdam, N.Macedonia's Vasil for example said and he also said thank you to head of contest Twan)

APM-Terminal Maasvlakte II Rotterdam


Schiphol Airport


naturepark Marker Wadden in the Markermeer

With less than 7 weeks to go until the first live show from Rotterdam Ahoy, we are also working hard behind the scenes on the 39 different postcards: the introductory videos with which all performances are announced. Earlier, the organization announced that the Lighthouse Westhoofd in Ouddorp, Evoluon in Eindhoven, the natural ice in Nannewiid and the Sparta-Stadion in Rotterdam serve as the background to these special videos. Today, three new locations will be added.

Again, three different locations have been chosen that show the different sides of the Netherlands: the breathtaking marker wadden nature reserve in the Markermeer, the state-of-the-art and automated facility APM terminal Maasvlakte II in Rotterdam and the famous Schiphol airport have been added to the list of postcard locations and are seen throughout Europe during the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Which postcard belongs to which décor remains a surprise until the television shows of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in May.

Every postcard focuses on a so-called tiny house, which symbolizes the living room that became such a central part of our lives last year. With the latest digital techniques, the participating artists are presented in this tiny house. This cottage is decorated according to the story and personality of the artist. In this way, all participating artists are presented to the public in a special place in the Netherlands.

.

I wonder if Scott and Rylan will be back for our semi finales one.

[Nicky91]

i wonder if Sander will comment on James like ''here is a familiar face for our radio listeners, given his collabs with our armin van buuren''

or it could be something like ''finally UK decided to be competitive''

Last year, the Royal Dutch Mint released a commemorative medal with an innovative design in honour of the 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

The special edition jewellery will return this year in the form of a pendant on a necklace; the first of the limited run of 500 has been presented to Eurovision champion Duncan Laurence.

The design of the pendant contains all the winning songs from the Eurovision Song Contest so far. These songs were mixed together by music producer Eric Van Tijn. Then, using a unique installation developed by Juan Sanchez Castano (designer at the Royal Dutch Mint), the mix was played on a speaker with a vessel of water from the Rotterdam river Maas on top.

The vibrations created on the surface of the water were captured and physically rendered into a 3D model. You can find out more by watching the Royal Dutch Mint’s video.

The pendant and necklace are available in two varieties: silver and gold plated silver. This high quality collector’s item is strictly limited edition, so if you’d like to see those chains on, chains on you, then head over to the Eurovision Shop and place your pre-order now.
