Speculate anything you want to see for the 2022 stage!

The preview pictures are so-so, but the concept is exciting, i like stages with actual fixed features, that aren't just an empty space in front of a giant screen.

Hopefully they'll be able to get all the elements working as planned in May, because the idea is excellent

The stage design and concept looks soo good. I especially love the water feature, it was one of my favourite things about 2014 but they didn't really use it a huge amount. The Italian Garden for the greenroom as well. 🙌 Looove it. It's all really starting to get exciting.

This is definitely a much different design compared to the previous years. I like it!

I love the design: It's a little bit unconventional after several of Florian Wieder's designs. The rotating sun and the waterfall feature offers a lot of unique stagings for 41 songs and seems more versatile than Rotterdam '21 or Kyiv '17 IMO. If I have to be nitpicky, I wonder why the island needs to have hexagons on it.

However, I'm also concerned about how ambitious the design looks.
1. The bridges seem pretty hazardous since it slopes down while curving. Will they install railings on them?
2. The strength of the overall structure, since the prototype's floor material looks so thin. Even if they're not LED, it's still concerning.
3. The waterfall. I hope they can find a way to make the water circulate. The designers look like they've considered this on the design, however.

The renderings of the stage look very promising. This year will provide a welcome change from the usual Wieder stage.
You can see that Eurovision is a lot more important to RAI these days than in 1991. :ROFLMAO:

The logo also looks tastefully done. The motto is appropriate and not quite as random and questionable as some of the mottoes in previous years.

The Rotterdam stage experience was really kinda bland. The LED screen and stage floor were flatter than the Netherlands themselves, but overall it didn't feel genuinely dutch. I would have added rotating hands of a windmill to make it look more interesting. Also the addition of water for some below-sealevel look an d feel, was a missed opportunity.

I miss the good old days where everything on the GF was related to the host country. Or at least a part. Staging 1991 Rome, Collosseum. Sweden 1992, Viking boat.
Or my alltime favourite: 1994, City skyline. Even the postcards are becoming more meh. They try to come up with funny ideas but I preferred simple picture postcards in which we could see some parts of the host country. I don’t need to see the artists doing whatever crazy stuff.
