Liverpool was shortlisted alongside Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Glasgow to become the host city which was announced by the BBC back in August. Its been a long and painful wait to finally find out if the iconic contest was going to be hosted in our very own city.
The decision to host the contest in the UK instead of Ukraine who won Eurovision 2022 is due to the ongoing conflict between the country and Russia, the BBC stated that they have “glorious Ukraine at its heart” and that they are guaranteed to qualify to the competitions grand final.
