Scott Mills this morning announced the seven cities which are now on the short list to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.
Appearing on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 this morning he announced that Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield will be competing for the bid with the host city to be confirmed in the Autumn.
A statement from the BBC adds that the shortlisting process was ‘heavily weighted towards demonstrating past experience in hosting major international events, as well as being able to demonstrate their credentials in hosting a celebration of contemporary music.’
