WHAT HAPPENED
The Eurovision Song Contest 2027 will be held in Burgas, a port city on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, according to an announcement by organizers on Thursday. This will be the first time the music extravaganza is held in Bulgaria, which recently scored its first-ever victory in the contest. The event is scheduled to take place with semifinals on May 11 and 13, 2027, and the final on May 15.
Bulgaria's public TV broadcaster BNT and the European Broadcasting Union made the announcement, choosing Burgas over the country's capital city, Sofia, which also applied to host the event. Eurovision director Martin Green expressed enthusiasm for the choice, stating that Burgas will bring something special to Eurovision due to its dynamic and welcoming nature, as well as its strong musical and cultural identity. The city's selection follows Bulgaria's historic win in May, when singer Dara won with her song 'Bangaranga'.
This development is significant as it marks a milestone for Bulgaria, both in terms of hosting a major international event and following its first win in the Eurovision Song Contest. The choice of Burgas underscores the city's potential as a vibrant cultural hub.
