The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is the upcoming 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It is set to take place in the United Kingdom, after Ukraine, winner of the 2022 contest with the song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, was unable to meet the demands of hosting the event due to security concerns caused by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on behalf of the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC), the contest will consist of two semi-finals and a final in 2023.[1] It will be a record-extending ninth time that the United Kingdom hosts the contest, having last done so in Birmingham in 1998.

Location

Host country selection

The 2022 contest was won by Ukraine with the song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, and in accordance with Eurovision tradition, the EBU initially gave Ukraine the opportunity to organise the 2023 contest.[2][3] Ukraine had hosted the contest twice before, in 2005 and 2017, both times in Kyiv. However, in light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, speculation was raised that the country would not be capable of hosting the event.[4] Due to this, several countries expressed interest in hosting in the event that Ukraine could not, including Belgium,[5] Italy,[6] the Netherlands,[7] Poland,[8] Spain (which later withdrew its interest),[9] Sweden,[10] and the United Kingdom.[11] The last time the contest was not held in the previous year's winning country was in 1980.

On 16 May 2022, Mykola Chernotytskyi [uk], chairman of the Ukrainian participating broadcaster Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC), stated that they wish to host the contest in a peaceful Ukraine and hoped that the country would be able to guarantee the safety of all participants and their delegations during the event.[12] Chernotytskyi stated on 20 May that the broadcaster would begin discussions with the EBU regarding the hosting of the contest.[13][14]

Numerous Ukrainian politicians advocated for the contest to take place in Ukraine. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he hoped for the contest to one day take place in Mariupol.[15] Mykola Povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, stated on 26 May 2022 that Kyiv would be ready to host the contest if asked.[16] Ukrainian minister of culture Oleksandr Tkachenko stated on 3 June his intention to discuss conditional changes with the EBU in order to allow the contest to be held in the country.[17][18] Taras Melnychuk, representative of the Ukrainian government for the Verkhovna Rada, stated on 10 June that a committee was formed to aid the organisation of the contest.[19]

On 16 June 2022, UA:PBC and the Ukrainian government held a meeting with the EBU to discuss potential hosting options in Ukraine.[20][21] At the meeting, UA:PBC proposed Lviv, Zakarpattia and Kyiv as potential host locations.[22] The following day, the EBU announced that Ukraine would not be able to host the contest, following assessments with both UA:PBC and third-party specialists, and that discussions would begin with the BBC for potentially hosting in the United Kingdom.[23] The United Kingdom had finished in second place in the 2022 contest with the song "Space Man" by Sam Ryder.[24] In response, UA:PBC chairman Chernotytskyi and Ukrainian minister of culture Tkachenko, alongside former Ukrainian Eurovision winners Ruslana, Jamala and Oleh Psiuk of Kalush Orchestra, issued a joint statement requesting further talks with the EBU on hosting the event in Ukraine.[25][26] This stance was supported by British prime minister Boris Johnson,[27][28] the Polish broadcaster TVP, Polish deputy prime minister and minister of culture Piotr Gliński,[29] and British culture secretary Nadine Dorries.[30] A follow-up statement from the EBU on 23 June reaffirmed its decision to not host the event in Ukraine, highlighting the security considerations for doing so while also urging for the process of choosing the host country to not be politicised.[31]

On 25 July 2022, the EBU, UA:PBC and the BBC announced that the 2023 contest would be held in the United Kingdom, with the host city bidding process to commence in the same week.[32][33]

Simultaneous with the confirmation that the United Kingdom would host the contest on behalf of Ukraine, host broadcaster BBC launched the bidding process on 25 July 2022. The BBC stated that "any potential candidates must meet a set of minimum standards that demonstrate they have the capacity, capability, and experience to host an event of this scale and complexity."[34] The selection criteria for the host city in previous years have included: a venue capable of accommodating at least 10,000 spectators, a press centre for a maximum of 1,500 journalists, easy reachability to an international airport, and hotel accommodation for at least 2,000 delegates, journalists and spectators.[35]

During the first stage of the bidding process, the BBC received expressions of interest from 20 UK cities and towns, seven of which were shortlisted on 12 August 2022: Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and Sheffield.[36] These cities will go to the second stage, where they will have until 8 September to develop their bids in detail for evaluation by the BBC, who will also visit the cities throughout the month.[37][38] The chosen host city is expected to be announced by October.[38][39]

Entries

For the third year in a row, delegations have the option to use pre-recorded backing vocals, though each delegation can still use backing singers – whether on or off stage – or a combination of live and recorded backing vocals although it has been forbidden to lip sync to any vocals. However, all lead vocals performing the melody of the song must still be live.[73]

Further information: List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest

Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that would be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU regularly issues invitations of participation in the contest to all active members. Associate member Australia does not need an invitation for the 2023 contest, as it had previously been granted permission to participate at least until 2023.[111]

Active EBU members

  •  Andorra – On 26 May 2022, Dani Ortolà, content manager of Andorran broadcaster RTVA, confirmed that the country currently is unlikely to return to the contest in the short or medium term.[112] Andorra last took part in 2009.
  •  Croatia – In March 2021, it was confirmed that the Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) and the city of Opatija signed a three-year long contract regarding the organisation of HRT Music Days and Dora, the Croatian national selection, meaning both of these events would be held in the city annually until 2024.[113] An official confirmation of participation from HRT is pending.
  •  Luxembourg – On 2 August 2022, Luxembourgish broadcaster RTL confirmed that the country would not return in 2023, citing that the outlet "currently concentrates on news features rather than music and entertainment shows" and that Eurovision participation "would entail a financial strain on the broadcaster". Luxembourg last took part in 1993.[114]
  •  Monaco – On 22 November 2021, it was reported that part of the Monégasque state budget has been reserved for participation in the 2023 contest.[115] However, the plans were delayed because Monaco's new television channel, Monte-Carlo Riviera TV, is scheduled to launch around June to September 2023 instead of initially outlined period of late 2022.[116] Monaco last took part in 2006.
  •  North Macedonia – On 10 May 2022, Macedonian broadcaster MRT stated that due to the reporting on the Macedonian flag incident, which occurred prior to the 2022 contest, they are considering a withdrawal from the event in 2023.[117] In June 2022, MRT's editor of artistic and cultural programming and head of the Macedonian delegation, Meri Popova, proposed a series of recommendations to improve the country's future results in the contest, and MRT's programming council unanimously agreed to the proposals.[118] However, an official confirmation of participation in 2023 is still pending.
  •  Slovakia – On 10 June 2022, Slovak broadcaster RTVS confirmed that the country would not return to the contest in 2023, citing financial constraints and low viewing figures during their time in the contest.[119] Slovakia last took part in 2012.

Non-EBU members

  •  Kosovo – On 16 May 2022, the Director-General of Kosovan broadcaster RTK Shkumbin Ahmetxhekaj stated that the broadcaster is aiming to apply for EBU membership at the end of the year and confirmed that should RTK gain EBU membership, Kosovo would be able to participate in the contest.[120]
  •  Liechtenstein – On 9 August 2022, the Liechtensteiner broadcaster 1 FL TV confirmed that they are no longer aiming to apply for EBU membership, therefore indefinitely ruling out a debut in the contest.[121]
