Leeds is one of the favourites cities to host Eurovision 2023 and we are putting the case forward as to why the other UK destinations competing should be put out of their misery now.
As you’ll likely know, due to the ongoing Ukrainian conflict the country isn’t in a position to host next year’s competition. Instead, the honour falls to the UK and we have the opportunity to celebrate Sam Ryder coming second in this year’s event.
The Eurovision host city will be decided in the coming months with London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Sheffield joining Leeds in campaigning to be the competition’s venue. In order to be chosen to hold the competition, cities must demonstrate that they have a 10,000-seater venue and are located within close proximity to an international airport.
