On the 24th of November, dozens of young singers from all over Europe will take to the stage at Arena Gliwice in Poland. Polish broadcaster TVP is delighted to announce that Gliwice-Silesia will be the Host City of the 2019 Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
Following Roksana Węgiel’s spectacular victory for Poland at the 2018 contest in Minsk, Belarus, TVP won the bid to host this year’s competition. The 17th Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Arena Gliwice, one of the largest and most modern sports and entertainment venues in Poland, on Sunday 24 November. Arena Gliwice boasts incredible facilities and has hosted a number of different events such as concerts, sport competitions, family shows, fairs, conferences and many more.
Jon Ola Sand, the EBU’s Head of Live Events said: “We are delighted to announce that Gliwice-Silesia, will be the Host City of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019. The show in Minsk was a spectacular event and we are in no doubt that TVP will put on an equally brilliant show; riding high on their win last year. As well as producing an unbeatable bid, it is extra special to have last year’s winning country host the event, and we believe that the TVP team will invest the same passion, dedication and fun into planning the event for this November.”
