Belfast has been named as the ideal city to host next year’s Eurovision Song contest by all the competition winners from across the island of Ireland.
Ireland has won Eurovision a record seven wins, and today we can reveal these stars are backing Belfast to host this year’s winner Ukraine whose Kalush Orchestra won the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest with their song 'Stefania'.
It is estimated the visitors to Belfast and further afield would boost the economy by about £20million through booking hotel rooms, restaurants, cafes, bars, taxis and other jobs would be boosted including security, pedestrianisation of parts of the city and other preparations for the competition.
