Now, the Principality Stadium, fresh from hosting two nights with the Stereophonics, Tom Jones and more Welsh music acts, read our review here, have said they would 'relish' the opportunity to host the annual singing competition. The stadium said it would be the cherry on top of the past 20 years during which the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, U2 and many more top music acts have performed.
A spokesperson for the venue, which can hold 74,500 people said today: "We would relish the opportunity to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 here at Principality Stadium, Cardiff. We have a 20-year history of successfully hosting the biggest music artists and sporting events in the world; and to add Eurovision, the world's biggest and much-loved music competition to the list, would be the cherry on top of the last two decades."
