UK to host Eurovision in 2023 on behalf of winners Ukraine

Eurovision fans are sharing their delight – and disappointment – after tickets for the 2023 competition went on sale.

The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place in Liverpool, after the UK stepped in to host the competition for reigning champions Ukraine.

Eurovision week kicks off on Monday 8 May, with semi-finals taking place on Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11 May. The grand final will then take place on Saturday 13 May.

Tickets went on sale on Tuesday (7 March) at midday for all three televised shows, as well as six previews. The events will be taking place at the ACC Liverpool arena.

Tickets for the final sold out in less than 34 minutes, with all the shows selling out in just over 90 minutes.

While the UK’s representative for 2023 is yet to be announced, singer Birdy – best known for her 2011 cover of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” – is currently the bookies’ favourite to represent the UK in Liverpool.

William Hill has Birdy at odds of 6/4, closely followed by pop star and John Wick 4 actor Rina Sawayama in second place at 5/2.
