The Eurovision Song Contest 2000 was the 45th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 13 May 2000 at the Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) and presented by Kattis Ahlström and Anders Lundin, the contest was held in Sweden following the country's victory at the 1999 contest with the song "Take Me to Your Heaven" by Charlotte Nilsson. With an audience of 13,000 people present, the 2000 contest was the largest yet seen in its history.
