Performances of Magic Mike, Celine Dion, and Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe live podcast tours set to take place in Manchester next May might have to be rescheduled if the city is chosen to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest.
This morning, August 10, BBC News reported that no major arena in the UK has a big enough gap in event listings to host the popular contest, as organisers have reportedly said venues must be available to producers six to eight weeks ahead of the show. On Friday, cities who have put themselves forward as potential hosts will find out if they have been shortlisted for the event.
Potential dates set out for the 2023 Eurovision shows range from April 25 for the first semi-final through till May 27 for the grand final, with three shows set to take place in the same week. If Manchester is chosen as the host city, the Manchester Evening News understands the AO Arena would be the most likely venue selected - as it meets the capacity requirements laid out by organisers.
