Arnhem will be one of the cities who will formally present their bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 to NPO, NOS and AVROTROS. This afternoon council members voted on whether the bid should progress, with the majority of Councillors backing the plans. The bid has been praised by local politicians who see the Eurovision Song Contest as an opportunity to put Arnhem on the map. There has been some criticism from a number of political parties who questioned the lasting impact of the contest, as well as the affordability of the event. A motion to limit ticket prices was defeated as the matter is out of the control of the host city.
