Yes,The Eurovision Song Contest is back for 2023 and having secured a number two entry in 2022 and with everything occurring in Ukraine, Liverpool eventually became the host city to put on the event.
It will be held at the M&S Bank Arena – King’s Dock – Pier Head – Liverpool from 9th -13th May 2023. The grand final will be the full spectacular showcase with a number of countries battling it out to win.
Eurovision Song Contest Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl welcomed the news:
‘Liverpool is the ideal place to host the 67th Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine.
The city is synonymous with music and Liverpool Arena exceeds all the requirements needed to stage a global event of this scale. We have been very impressed with the passion the city has shown in embracing the Contest and their inclusive ideas for placing last year’s winners, Ukraine, front and centre when thousands of fans visit this May.
This will be the first Eurovision Song Contest to be held in the UK in 25 years and, as we work with our Host Broadcaster, the BBC, to celebrate Ukraine’s victory, this unique production promises to be a very special one indeed.’
