As we sometimes tend to forget, “Eurovision is (music) history”, and let’s be honest, there would be no Loreen (Swedish winner 2012 and 2023) without Lys Asia (first winner of Eurovision ever in 1956). In Amsterdam, the day before “Eurovision in Concert”, there is always the nostalgic Eurovision concert and party, “Amsterdam Calling!”, organized by the Dutch OGAE, and this year is no exception…

For everyone who is a true fan of the Eurovision Song Contest there is the annual concert and party, “Amsterdam Calling!”, that is always full of legendary Eurovision stars, so for people who truly want to have a Eurovision experience, this is the place to be in Amsterdam, the day before the biggest annual Eurovision concert and party, “Eurovision in Concert”.
