It will happen on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel and will consist on two special shows that will go online on the same dates as the two semi-finals of the contest would go: 12 May and 14 May at 21h CEST.
The main goal of this special treat is to recognise and honour all of the 41 artists and songs in a non-competitive format. There will also be a running order associated determined by this year's semi-finals producers.
The big 5 and last year's winning country - the Netherlands - will not be forgotten. On 12 May, the special will feature the entries from Germany, Italy and the Netherlands while on the 14 May, it will be France, Spain and the United Kingdom to have the spotlight on them.
To keep it as commemorative as possible, Eurovision is also asking fans to get involved by sending clips of them dancing, singing or jumping to their favourite Eurovision 2020 songs for a special fan recap.
