Eurovision Song Contest

Het Grote Songfestivalfeest (Dutch pronunciation: [ət ˈxroːtə ˈsɔŋfɛstivɑlˌfeːst]; English: The Big Eurovision Party) is a Dutch television concert programme starring artists of the Eurovision Song Contest, produced by PilotStudio, and held at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. Originally commissioned for the occasion of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam prior to its cancellation, four editions of the show have been held, with a fifth set to be held in November 2025. Cornald Maas and Edsilia Rombley are the regular presenters of the programme. The show is broadcast in a number of European countries as supplementary Eurovision programming ahead of or during the contest weeks.

Presenters

[edit]

The first edition of the show in 2019 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.[1] Former Dutch spokespersons Emma Wortelboer and Tim Douwsma, as well as Junior Eurovision Song Contest commentator Buddy Vedder, also appeared as presenters during the show to introduce some of the acts. Maas and Rombley returned as hosts for the subsequent three editions,[2][3] and are joined by Tia Kofi in 2024.[4]
