Eurovision 2023: Glasgow or Liverpool will host song contest

Apr 22,2022 4:45 pm

Either Glasgow or Liverpool will host next year's Eurovision Song Contest, after The Shortlist of cities in contention was cut from seven to two.

The Announcement means Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield have missed out on the chance to stage The Competition next May.

The Bbc said the two remaining cities, which both have Riverside Arena venues, had " The Strongest overall offer".

A final decision will be made " within weeks" the broadcaster said.

The UK was chosen to host the 2023 contest after organisers decided it could not be staged by this year's winner, Ukraine, because of the ongoing war. The UK's singer Sam Ryder was the runner-up this May.

A hotly-contested selection process saw 20 UK cities express an interest in hosting this year's show before that was narrowed down to seven, and now a final two.

The winning location will attract thousands of visitors and the attention of around 160 million TV viewers around The World .

The original seven shortlisted cities were scored on a set of criteria including:

Glasgow calling?

Glasgow was a bookies' favourite from the off, with its OVO Hydro venue having a capacity of 14,300.

The Arena would be a fitting setting in some ways after being filmed for the exterior of The Venue in Will Ferrell 's 2020 Netflix movie Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga .

And of course, Glasgow lass Lulu won the 1969 Contest with Boom Bang-a-Bang. She says it's

Fellow Glaswegian Scott Fitzgerald came second in 1988 when he was beaten to The Top spot by none other than Celine Dion .

has said The City " has all The Right ingredients to deliver a Eurovision The World will remember".

The City Centre venue is also next to exhibition centres that could be useful for facilities like a press centre, and has a nearby station and hotels. It has previously hosted BBC Sports Personality of the Year and events during the 2014 Commonwealth Games .

Or douze points to Liverpool?

The home of The Beatles has a rich musical history that attracts thousands of international visitors every year. Its past major events have included the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2008.

Sonia came second in The Contest back in 1993 with Better The Devil You Know. The City has also been represented by Jemini, who sadly got Nul Points in 2003.

, which is next to a conference centre and near the City Centre 's hotels and rail links.

Speaking earlier this year, " It's safe to say that Liverpool wouldn't be Liverpool without Music - and Music wouldn't be Music without Liverpool.

" No region in the UK has had more Number One hits - and nowhere can throw a party quite like us. I can think of nowhere more qualified, more experienced or more fitting to host the Eurovision. "

Eurovision organisers say a host venue should accommodate about 10,000 spectators, be within easy reach of an International Airport and have enough hotel accommodation for at least 2,000 delegates, journalists and ticket-buyers.

The Venue will be needed for preparations for six to eight weeks ahead of The Song contest, meaning The Host city will need to move concerts and events that are already in their schedules.

That could include the likes of Sir Elton John , who has concerts in Liverpool on 22 and 23 April, and the Magic Mike arena tour, which is booked for both cities in late April.

The UK has hosted Eurovision eight times - four times in London, and in Edinburgh, Brighton, Harrogate and Birmingham.

The former UK Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said when The Shortlist was revealed that the country was " determined to deliver a competition which reflects Ukraine's rich culture and creativity". Congratulating the shortlisted cities, She Said " no matter which one is chosen it will be a fantastic event to make both the UK and Ukraine proud".

The Bbc 's director of unscripted content Kate Phillips said: " We Are committed to delivering a truly unique Song Contest that celebrates wonderful Ukraine and champions British Music and creativity in all its diversity. "
