Het Grote Songfestivalfeest (English: The Big Songfestival Party) was a Dutch television concert programme starring artists of the Eurovision Song Contest from the past sixty-four years and a pre-event prior to the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which was to be held in Rotterdam prior to its cancellation. The concert took place on 15 December 2019 at the Ziggo Dome, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Tickets were on sale via Ticketmaster. The event was produced by PilotStudio in collaboration with the Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS, and was broadcast on 1 January 2020.[1][2]

Het Grote Songfestivalfeest was set to return for a second edition, taking place on 9 December 2021 at the Ziggo Dome.[3][4] However, in November 2021, it was postponed indefinitely due to new COVID-19 restrictions enacted by the Dutch government.[5]

Presenters[]

The show was originally planned to be hosted by Dutch Eurovision commentators Cornald Maas and Jan Smit, however the latter had to withdraw due to illness and was later replaced by one of his Eurovision 2020 co-hosts, Edsilia Rombley. Rombley, who represented the Netherlands in the 1998 and 2007 contests, also performed her entries during the concert.[6] Former Dutch spokesperson Emma Wortelboer and Tim Douwsma, and Junior Eurovision Song Contest commentator Buddy Vedder also appeared as presenters during the show to introduce some of the acts.

Performances[]

Thirty-one Eurovision acts from seventeen countries participated in the concert.

Withdrawn artists[]

The original list of the performers also included Willeke Alberti, the Dutch representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, who missed the show because of an illness.[7][8] Eurovision winners Finnish hard rock band Lordi (2006) and Russia's Dima Bilan (2008) were expected to perform, but later they cancelled their participation.[9] Helena Paparizou was also invited, but couldn't participate in person because of a scheduling clash with a live broadcast of The Voice of Greece. She sent a video message in which she sang the refrain of her 2005 winning song "My Number One".
