The Eurovision Song Contest 2018 will be the 63rd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will take place for the first time in Portugal, at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, following Portugal at the 2017 contest in Kiev with the song "Amar pelos dois", performed by Salvador Sobral. The contest will consist of two semi-finals and a final scheduled to be held on 8, 10 and 12 May 2018.
Forty two countries will participate in the 2018 contest. Russia is going to return after withdrawing from the 2017 edition, following the ban of their representative from entering Ukraine, host country of 2017 contest. While, Macedonia withdrew largely due to the failing attemps of qualifying to the final and because of the participation cost, whilst they're going to return to the future after improving the way they select their entry.
