After a long bid- and selection process, Düsseldorf was chosen as Host City of the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest! The final decision was approved by the song contest's governing body, the Reference Group.
he Semi-Finals are now set to take place on the 10th and 12th of May, the Final on Saturday the 14th of May, 2011. The decision was taken to avoid collision with major televised sports events taking place in late May.
NDR also confirmed that 2010 Eurovision Song Contest winner Lena will once again represent Germany next year, to defend her title. Details about the song selection will be announced in due time.
Only Lys Assia, the winner of the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956, and Corry Brokken came back the year after to defend their title. Other former winners, such as Johnny Logan, Carola, Charlotte Perelli and Niamh Kavanagh, waited for several years to return after a victory. Only Johnny Logan won the Eurovision Song Contest more than once; twice as an artist, once as song writer.
