Eurovision Song Celebration to spotlight 2020 acts

An online event Eurovision Song Celebration 2020 will take place later this month to spotlight the acts that were due to perform in the now-cancelled Eurovision Song Contest.

Two events will be held on YouTube across Tuesday 12 May (Wednesday May 13 Australia) and Thursday 14 May (Friday May 15 Australia) — the dates originally intended for the semi-finals. These are expected to be music videos or national final clips.

Acts will perform in their original producer-chosen places (although the running order is yet to be revealed).

But the event does not entail a vote and no winner will be declared.
