Eurovision.tv announced
on 25 July 2017 that the 63rd Eurovision Song Contest will take
place in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon on 8, 10, and 12 May 2018.
In May 2017,
Portuguese singer, Salvador Sobral, won the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv,
Ukraine. This meant that Portugal would host the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.
Lisbon, the City of
Convergence, will host two weeks of events in May 2018 leading to the grand
final in which 200 million viewers will see who wins the song contest. More
than 1,000 professionals, and more than 1,500 international journalists will be
involved with more than 40 countries competing. European countries (and a
couple of non-European countries) will soon start selecting their nominee
(individual or group) to represent their country in the world’s largest song
contest.
