A 2020 contest was initially planned to take place in Zagreb, Croatia on 21 June to coincide with World Music Day,[1] however, it was postponed indefinitely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The future of the contest remained uncertain until 3 February 2022 when the Norwegian broadcaster NRK and later the Belgian broadcaster RTBF confirmed that the upcoming edition would be held in Montpellier, France on 23 July 2022.[3][4] The event took place during the annual summer festival, Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier,[3][4] and this was the first time that France had hosted the contest. The selected venue was the Corum, a building that houses both a conference centre and an opera house (Opéra Berlioz), and is located in the centre of the city in southern France. The last time that France hosted a Eurovision event was the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Paris.
