Liverpool to Host 2023 Eurovision Song Contest on Behalf of Ukraine
EBU and BBC announced Friday that Liverpool will host Eurovision 2023 for Ukraine.
As victors of the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, Ukraine will host the 2023 edition.
As Russia – which was prohibited from participating this year – continues to occupy the nation, its winning broadcaster UA: PBC will formally transfer over hosting obligations to the U.K.
"Playing where The Beatles began will be a highlight!" Friday's message from Kalush Orchestra.
We know Liverpool will be a welcoming host, and the organisers may give Eurovision 2023 a Ukrainian touch."
Liverpool is "the indisputable capital of pop music," says BBC Director-General Tim Davie.
