About Eurovision Song Contest 2027
Bulgaria will stage the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 2027, earned by Dara's win at the 2026 final in Vienna. The contest is the largest live music event in the world, with around forty countries competing across two semi-finals and a Grand Final.
The host city is decided in August 2026. Sofia and Burgas are the frontrunners, as the two cities with arenas that meet Eurovision's capacity rules. The exact dates land with that decision, though the contest is always held across a week in mid-May.
Whichever city wins the bid, expect a Eurovision Village with free screenings and a city centre that runs on music for the full week.

FAQs about Eurovision Song Contest 2027
Common questions about Eurovision Song Contest 2027.
The host city is announced in August 2026. Sofia and Burgas are the two contenders, since both have arenas large enough under Eurovision's rules. Dates are confirmed at the same time.
Tickets usually go on sale a few weeks after the host city and venue are confirmed, through the official Eurovision ticketing partner. The May dates here are provisional until then.
Each live show, the two semi-finals and the Grand Final, plus their rehearsal previews, is ticketed separately. The Grand Final sells out first.
