Either Liverpool or Glasgow will host Eurovision 2023. The shortlist of cities has been cut from seven to just two today. The announcement means that Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, and Sheffield have been taken out of the running to host.

The competition is set to take place in May 2023. The UK will host after placing second in the competition this year, the highest spot the UK has earned in 20 years.
