Today marks the launch of “Eurovision in Concert 2025” in Amsterdam, where 30 Eurovision 2025 artists will perform alongside past contestants.
Today, the 16th edition of the Eurovision party “Eurovision in Concert” will take place at the “AFAS Live” arena in Amsterdam. The event will feature 30 participants from Eurovision 2025, which is set to take place next month in Basel, Switzerland. Additional performances by past contestants will also be part of the evening.
The event will be hosted by Dutch television presenter Cornald Maas, who has played an active role in the Dutch delegation in recent years and previously served as a Eurovision commentator. Maas will present the show alongside Stefania, Greece’s representative at Eurovision 2021, who also represented the Netherlands at Junior Eurovision 2016.
This annual party in Amsterdam first began in 2009 and has since grown into the largest Eurovision-related concert held before the main contest.
