Denmark Confirms Details About Eurovision 2021 Selection Process

The cancellation of Eurovision 2020 due to the coronavirus, made some countries reconsidering their selection process toward Eurovision 2020.

Earlier today, The Danish Broadcaster DR has confirmed “Dansk Melodi Gand Prix 2021” as the selection process for Eurovision 2021.

DR welcomes Ben&Tan to participate in the national selection again in 2021.

For the moment, 13 countries confirmed that they will keep the representatives of Eurovision 2020 for Eurovision 2021. The countries are:
