Staging the Eurovision Song Contest would cost Liverpool around £2m it is thought.
Last month, Liverpool Council confirmed it would throw its hat into the ring to host the annual music event after an announcement was made that Eurovision could be held in Britain due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Now it has been revealed how much the city would need to put on the pan-European show.
Cllr Harry Doyle, assistant mayor and cabinet member for culture and visitor economy, told a select committee earlier this week that the bidding process represented a “really exciting time” and the council was “absolutely going in full steam ahead.” Cllr Doyle confirmed the city had been in discussions with the BBC over a potential hosting of the song contest when it comes round next May.
