Denmark Announces Host City


And it's Copenhagen! Not a surprise, considering that Copenhagen has been the city of choice for all three Eurovision Song Contests that Denmark has had the honor of hosting (in 1964, 2000, and 2014).

Some fans are disappointed in the uninspired choice. Early rumors predicted that the city of Herning would be the favorite, and another city, Horsens, proposed hosting Eurovision in an old prison. But the Danish producers of Eurovision have big plans for Copenhagen. The Contest will take place on a former shipyard called the B&W Hallerne. The whole area will be revamped into a "Eurovision Island," complete with shops and a state-of-the-art music arena.

The official slogan of Eurovision 2014 is "Join Us," and the Contest is scheduled to take place May 6, 8, and 10.
