Liverpool will discover whether or not the city has been shortlisted to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 this Friday.
As part of the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show on August 12, the station will make a formal announcement on what cities will be going forward as possible hosts. Liverpool made its bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 shortly after it was announced the United Kingdom would act as the host nation last month.
The shift comes after the Eurovision Broadcasting Union deemed Ukraine, last year's winners, as being incapable of hosting given the ongoing conflict in the country. Several Merseyside mayors and MPs have expressed their interest, including Mayor Joanne Anderson.
