Sveriges Television (SVT) announced on 24 May that their first choice as host arena for the Eurovision was the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm. However other cities and arenas would still be able to apply. After the Swedish win in Vienna, those making a bid have approximately three weeks to submit their offer to SVT. An announcement from the broadcaster regarding the venue is expected by mid summer.[5][6]
Format
The preliminary dates were announced at the Head of Delegations meeting, held on 16 March 2015 in Vienna. The semi-finals being on 10 and 12 May 2016, and the final on 14 May 2016.[7] These are subject to change depending on the host broadcaster.[8]
Presenters
On the night of Måns Zelmerlöw's win, he announced his interest in being one of the hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.[9] Zelmerlöw's previous TV hosting experience includes Melodifestivalen 2010, the Swedish selection for Eurovision Song Contest 2010,[10] and the popular Swedish sing-along show Allsång på Skansen.[11]
On 25 May, Christer Björkman told Expressen newspaper that Sanna Nielsen, Gina Dirawi and Petra Mede were also potential choices as hosts.[12]
On 1 June, Swedish newspaper Expressen revealed that SVT was considering actor Dolph Lundgren and Måns Zelmerlöw as duo hosts for ESC 2016.[13]
Provisional list of participants
The following countries have expressed their provisional interest in participating in the 2016 Contest, the official list of participants will be released by the EBU towards the end of 2015:
Other countries
For a country to be eligible for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, it needs have a broadcaster that is an active member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) which broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in full.[40] The EBU have issued invitations to participate in the 2016 Contest to all 56 active members.[40] Several countries have already announced their provisional participation so far. The following countries have so far announced their intention to participate in 2016:
Active EBU Members
Bosnia and Herzegovina – Financial difficulties for Bosnian broadcaster Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT) could rule the country out of the 2016 contest.[41]
Croatia – Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) has suggested that Croatia could return in 2016 and send the winner of The Voice – Najljepši glas Hrvatske, Nina Kraljić, as their entrant.[42]
Iceland – RÚV has confirmed that they have every intention of participating in the 2016 contest, but an official confirmation from the broadcaster has not been announced yet.[43]
Israel – Before the second semi-final of the 2015 contest, it was announced that a qualification and a good result in Vienna would probably lead to using the same mechanism of sending the winner of HaKokhav HaBa (Rising Star) to represent Israel in the 2016 contest. However, no official confirmation has been announced by the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA).[44]
Lithuania – Martynas Tyla, a producer of the Lithuanian delegation, urged Lithuanian composers and songwriters to begin working on a 2016 Lithuanian Eurovision song, however the Lithuanian broadcaster LRT has yet to reveal any plans on participation.[45]
Poland – TVP has included Eurovision in its broadcasting plan for 2016, but no formal notification has been made.[46]
Romania – Romanian singer Mihai Trăistariu, who represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, suggested his interest to represent Romania or other country in 2016. However, TVR has not yet confirmed its decision regarding participation in the Contest.[47]
San Marino – Veteran songwriter Ralph Siegel, responsible for several of the microstate's past entries, has expressed his desire to return in 2016. An official decision of the SMtv has not been announced yet.[48]
Associate EBU Members
Australia – The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) has confirmed its interest in participating after being invited as a one-time guest to compete at the 2015 Contest. Jon Ola Sand and the EBU stated in February 2015 that Australia can only return if they win the 2015 Contest and choose to jointly host the 2016 Contest with a European country.[49][50][51] It was revealed in May 2015 that Australia might become a permanent participant following some reports by Sand to the Swedish broadcaster.[52] SBS has said they are involved in more lobbying for future participation, but a formal decision on whether they will compete in 2016 contest or if they will withdraw has not been announced yet [53]
Require active EBU membership
Kosovo – Foreign Minister of Kosovo tweeted that his country (not recognised by fifteen states in Europe and still not an active member of the EBU) will participate in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest marking its debut to the contest. The tweet said that the foreign minister is confirming participating but cannot tell how.[54]
EBU Non-members
China – Chinese provincial television channel Hunan TV has confirmed its interest in participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. The EBU has responded saying "we are open and are always looking for new elements in each Eurovision Song Contest".[55]
