Eurovision Song Contest 2023 - Liverpool

[Gasur]

Liverpool and Manchester are so close that you could feasibly stay in either city if Eurovision is held in one of them.

Generally you get put into a queue and when it's your turn you have a list of all of the available shows and an allotted amount of time to buy tickets to the ones you want. Last time I went, they had a traffic light system on the shows so you would know how likely getting a ticket would be for each. It's significantly easier, and cheaper, to get tickets to the rehearsals, but it's exactly the same show and honestly the fake votes are high key more entertaining than the actual ones.

Thanks that's so helpful.

Getting tickets for the semis is also easier than for the final.

Everyone tries to buy for final at first.

Family Shows rarely ever sell out and they're a lot cheaper. In Turin they were about half-full, and even the jury semis had some empty seats.

I see 1982 host city Harrogate did not make the shortlist.

I'm more concerned about accommodation. Hotels and rentals in the UK are expensive as it is and I'm not paying premium to stay in the outskirts of Liverpool...

Yeah I'm hoping/assuming if Glasgow gets it there will be trains and buses leaving the city after 11 so I can stay in Edinburgh with my sister!

Not entirely sure about trains but there are buses every hour during the night that are going to Edinburgh (as well as Edinburgh Airport).

I can tell you that the last train leaves Queen Street at 2345 and the first one in the morning is at 0600. Not sure how often the 900 runs during the night.

In Turin the city council extended last tram services from midnight to 2am so I expect they'd do similar in the UK host city.

Seeing the family show in the afternoon and watching the actual show on TV sounds perfect really

Was talking to my family and our bets were on Liverpool due to the musical heritage and Cilla Black connection. Plus 2023 will be 60s years since the Beatles first hit so surely a Paul McCartney feat Ukrainian Musicians half time show is a no brainer.

Did that in 2018 and 2021 and was perfect yes!

Is Noa Kirel still a maybe?

Is Noa Kirel still a maybe?

She's confirmed now.

Camille won’t do Eurovision 2023 because she isn’t ready for it yet (+ too busy) so we’re not getting a bop from Belgium guys.

So keep bopping to this:

Every song released from today on could potentially be a Eurovision song.

BBC has confirmed its working with TaP again on next year's UK entry:

For the 2023 Contest the BBC and BBC Studios will once again be collaborating with TaP Music, the global management and music publishing company behind some of the world’s most successful pop artists, such as Lana del Rey, Ellie Goulding, London Grammar, Dermot Kennedy and Mabel in order to choose a song and act that will represent the United Kingdom.

 

[vendredi]

After how her most recent album did, it's going to be Mabel isn't it?

Forty-song showdown: Malta Eurovision Song Contest expands for 2023 - https://wiwibloggs.com/2022/09/02/m...contest-2023-40-songs-4-quarterfinals/273278/

Is this really necessary? 2022 was an absolute slog to get through. I wish the PBS and the public weren't so opposed to the internal selections circa 2019-2021.
