Belfast could be in with the chance of holding one of the biggest singing competitions in the world after it was announced that the UK will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the BBC have confirmed that the competition would be held in the United Kingdom on behalf of this year’s winners Ukraine due to safety concerns. As 2022 winners, Ukraine will still automatically qualify for the grand final and this year's logo will reflect the cooperation between the host country and this year’s winners.
Tim Davie, BBC Director-General, shed some light on where the Contest will be hosted. He said: "It is a matter of great regret that our colleagues and friends in Ukraine are not able to host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
