Thursday, 25 March 2021

  • Six past winners are ready to "Rock the Roof" at the 65th Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam as interval acts of the Grand final show. 

    The Dutch Eurovision 2021 host broadcasters, AVROTROS/NOS/NPO have revealed that six past winners of the contest will take part as Grand final intervals acts taking not the stage but selected rooftops in Rotterdam! 

    Namely  Lenny Kuhr (De Troubadour, 1969), Teach-In with Getty Kaspers (Ding-a-dong, 1975), Sandra Kim (J'aime La Vie, 1986), Helena Paparizou (My Number One, 2005), Lordi (Hard Rock Hallelujah, 2006) and Måns Zelmerlöw (Heroes, 2015) will be the ones to Rock the Roof at the upcoming contest next May. 

    The leganedary ESC champions will perform their winning songs across three unique arenas. The roofs of party venue Maassilo, Hotel New York, and the instantly iconic Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot museum, will be transformed into sky-high stages.

    Head of Show Gerben Bakker explains:

    “The Eurovision Song Contest is back after a year of absence. Reason enough to treat the millions of viewers to unique performances from three locations in the middle of the city. The title of this great act is "Rock the Roof" for a reason. By literally filming at great heights, we want to surprise Europe creatively and visually. In addition, I could not have wished for a better city than Rotterdam. Every shot in this city hits the spot. Rotterdam will not soon be forgotten.”

     

    The Grand final is set to hit our screens on May 22, 2021 at 21:00 CET live from Rotterdam.
