The Beatles’ Hometown of Liverpool to Host 2023 Eurovision Song Contest for Ukraine – American Songwriter
Hometown of The Beatles, Elvis Costello, and Echo & the Bunnymen, Liverpool has been chosen to host the first Eurovision Song Contest to be held in the U.K. in 25 years.
Beating out the city of Glasgow, Scotland, the 67th Eurovision Song Contest will take place May 13, 2023, in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine, the winner of the 2022 competition, which was unable to host the forthcoming event due to the ongoing war.
“Liverpool is the ideal place to host the 67th Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine,” said Martin Österdahl, executive supervisor of Eurovision Song Contest, in a statement. “The city is synonymous with music and Liverpool Arena exceeds all the requirements needed to stage a global event of this scale. We have been very impressed with the passion the city has shown in embracing the Contest and their inclusive ideas for placing last year’s winners, Ukraine, front and center when thousands of fans visit next May. ”
