The Netherlands: With Jeangu Macrooy in Rotterdam 16 May

 Jeangu Macrooy will represent his country at the competition in May in Rotterdam with “Grow”.

 Jeangu Macrooy was born in Suriname in 1993. Together with his twin brother, Xillan, they created a musical duo.

 Jeangu’s musical ambition turned out to be bigger than the music scene in his native Suriname, leading to his move to the Netherlands in 2014. There he met producer and composer Perquisite who signed him to his label, Unexpected Records. From that moment, Jeangu’s career in the Dutch music industry was on the fast track. He has since played several big Dutch festivals, is a recurring guest in TV shows and has been nominated twice for an Edison Award, the Dutch equivalent to the American Grammy Awards.

Eurovision 2020 stage 

The first images of the stage for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 are here! The design is inspired by the theme 'Open Up' and the typical, flat Dutch landscape. It also brings the Green Room back to the arena.

After a year of absence, the Green Room - where the artists gather after the performance - will return to the arena.

Stage designer Florian Wieder won the pitch for the stage design, in which both Dutch and foreign designers took part, this fall. Wieder: “The design shows the connection between the sky, the sea and the land. The horizon links these elements and that horizon will work as a window to open up the world of Eurovision 2020. The floor plan of the stage is inspired by the canals and bridges that connect land and water in the Netherlands. With this design, we want to bring the artists as close as possible to the audience.”

Earlier in his career, the German designer designed the stage of several editions of the MTV Awards, Emmy Awards and various other well-known international TV shows. The stage for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest will be created in the Netherlands and will be set up in Rotterdam Ahoy in the first weeks of April 2020.
