Which UK cities could host 2023 Eurovision Song Contest?

wished Eurovision could be in Ukraine, but "understands that in [the] circumstances this isn't possible".

It would be fitting in some ways after the OVO Hydro was used for the exterior of the venue in Will Ferrell's 2020 Netflix film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.: "If it's to be a UK city - I can't think of anywhere better, a great music city and fittingly home to a large Ukrainian community."

Salford in Greater Manchester also became the BBC's Eurovision HQ this year, with AJ Odudu delivering the UK scores from MediaCity.Leeds had hoped to be European Capital of Culture in 2023, but Brexit prevented UK cities from entering that particular contest. Undeterred, the city is ploughing on with staging a year of culture anyway.

This was the last place to host Eurovision in the UK, in 1998. It will have just had experienced hosting a major international event, following this summer's Commonwealth Games. It added: "We are therefore open to working with the UK government and other stakeholders to investigate the potential for hosting the Eurovision Song Contest.""Why wouldn't you put it somewhere that the whole world recognises as a music city?" asked Liverpool City Council's director of culture, Claire McColgan.

None I hope we can not afford it people will say

Paris.

Kyiv

Maybe look at Belfast

Kyiv and only Kyiv.

If it can’t be hosted in Ukraine then at least it should only be Ukrainian personalities presenting the show. I read a headline that James Corden could be hosting if held in UK. No! Because UK didn’t win.

Eden Project Cornwall should host it, cities get enough

Cardiff or somewhere in NI but not Scotland

Southend

Kiev,Ukraine won. It would show solidarity

Bognor Regis

London Liverpool Manchester. no towns or cities that voted brexit

Newry

I’m betting on Manchester.

Give it to Hull. They need something to give it a financial boost with tourism after labour council closed all the roads in and out to work on roads QQ

Lviv.

Host it at downing street, I hear they throw a helluva a bash there. They practiced and practiced until they got it perfect!

Rayne in Essex of course. Why? UKRayne.

So it has to be a city. Don't give a thought to any provincial towns, just any of the usual suspects. Just for once, how about the south west of England?

Banbury. Nice and central.

Peterborough cos it would help get rid of a farcical shower of shit

Brighton is the only choice.

Anywhere but London.

Edinburgh

Luton

SheffCouncil How about Sheffield? Or more lack of ambition from Sheffield City Council😔…

Eurovision should be at the Principality Stadium Cardiff. principalitysta VisitCardiff Eurovision2023

We’d need an Annex in Rwanda cos Patel will have half the contestants flown over there as soon as they arrive!

Sage Gateshead is an excellent venue

I would lead a national protest to prevent the UK pouring money away on a politicised farce that has heaped contempt on this country for decades.

St Davids

Moscow? its crap anyway; usually based on charity who gave the most. Who wants to be victim this year.

If wanting Ukrainian culture it will have to be a city with a big Ukrainian community so Nottingham, Bradford or Manchester would be the shouts. Personally would love Manchester, never hosted before and will have shiny new arena to host it

LIVERPOOL

Brighton, obviously: the gay city.

Who cares about Eurovision song contest? Political activity which for years has nothing to do with singing but singers ability to reflect relevant political or social opinion.

Perverse waste of money, the EC costs a fortune, a fortune I’m sure the Beeb could do without. Have it on zoom if they have to.

Coventry4Eurovision

City McCityface

Doesn't matter. It's now a political rally.

Logic is to take 2nd winner to use location. But it’s neighbour countries may want to host the event.

The O2 is crying out to host & ESC hasn't been in London since 1977. Glasgow would be good too as not been in Scotland since 1972. But Ukraine TV should organise it and host it on the nights. It's their show & not their fault Kyiv can't host next year.

Genuinely who cares? Covid killed tons. Ukraine is killing more. Inflation is a nightmare.

Kigali (Rwanda)

None hopefully

Kyiv.

Derby. The could host it at Pride Park, esepcially as there looks like it maybe unused. (DCFC fan btw)

Skegness.

Belfast of course

Glasgow

Nobody cares yo
