Eurovision 2023 host city in UK and date of grand final announced

The Eurovision 2023 host city in UK have been announced and the 67th Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Liverpool. The city won out over Glasgow after the final two were whittled down from seven.

The 2023 Host City should have been in Ukraine after Ukrainian entry Kalush Orchestra triumphed at the 2022 competition in Turin. But the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which produces the annual event, decided the show cannot be safely held in the country following Russia’s invasion.

The British entry, Spaceman by Sam Ryder, came second in the 2022 contest, so the UK was chosen. This will be the ninth time the UK will have hosted the competition, more than any other country.
