YES!!! They made the right choice after all.

The official page lists "Maastricht 2020" now.

It's either hacked or they just want to play with us and do damage control...

 

[Mainshow]

I seriously think it's damage control because the page for Maastricht 2020 got online 40 minutes afterwards! They probably realized that they have leaked important info by accident and didn't want to give away the official announcement... Instead, they chose to fool us around.

What a ridiculous move.

Eurovision 2020 in Rotterdam!

It appears on eurovision.tv on the page dedicated to the Netherlands. It seems that they leaked that info by accident. Scroll to Hosts!

Just checked and it now says Maastricht Are they messing with us?

Like posted above, I think that it's them trying to do some damage control. It feels strange that the Maastricht 2020 page got online 40 minutes after people noticed that Rotterdam appears as an official host city on the official page.

Well, let's check in another 40 minutes to see if it rotates again

[Realest]

Ridiculous, cant be takes seriously.

 

[Mainshow]

Now, it's completely gone and they don't list any 2020 host city on the official page.

I saw Rotterdam mentioned this afternoon so I just went to check Eurovision news now and I'm like oh...

Remember when Eurovision didn't used to be like Olympic bidding lol.

 

[Preuss]

It's Rotterdam

 

[0scar]

Well, congratulations to Rotterdam. I did prefer Maastricht but Ahoy is a good venue so.. it's fine

 

[0scar]

[Ana Raquel]

rotterdam for real

 

[Teaisloveable]

It could be Rotterdam, Or Anywhere...

Going to have this song in my head until May 2020 now

But I think that the EBU seriously needs to consider expanding the juries

Ohh no, sweetie. I think ebu should get rid of jurries. They never agree with public opinion/votes, each year there are huge discrepancies between jurry and telebote. What's their purpose anyway? To put Sweden in first place every year?

Um...
I mean, no, they don't have to agree with the public every single year. They're not there to be expected to fulfill your desires of having an entry placed high or not. They just score. That's exactly the job they have -- they're a second factor to the voting.

I wanted Arnhem to host, but of the final two Rotterdam is a good decision! I have only driven through Rotterdam but it looks a great city and will be a great host I'm sure

Good reveal video!

 

[AlekS]

The most obvious decision to me.
I've got friends from Rotterdam so I'm very tempted to go but this won't be the case, as always
