It has been through unusual circumstances that the UK has come to be in this position to even have a host city, after finishing as runners-up at the 2022 competition.
Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra beat out Sam Ryder for the top spot, but the EBU decided the show could not be safely held in the country following Russia’s invasion.
