The shortlist of cities in the running to host Eurovision 2023 will be revealed by the BBC this week. The contenders will be announced on Friday, August 12 on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.
The BBC has said that the UK city will be selected in a "two-stage process", against requirements that assess the city's "capacity and capability", reports BirminghamLive. Bristol is one of the cities that is bidding to host the contest, which has been relocated from 2022 winner Ukraine due to the ongoing war there.
During last month's Pride Day celebrations on The Downs, a video from Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees was played to festivalgoers before headliner Carly Rae Jepsen took to the stage, announcing Bristol's bid to act as a 'caretaker' for next year's competition at the city's brand new arena.
