Eurovision 2017

At the heads of delegations meeting today in Stockholm, the provisional dates for next year's contest have been announced as 16, 18 & 20 May 2017.

More info & news from the conference here.

I bow to your speed sir, heading updating duties transferred, reluctantly, good luck.

Does this mean you'll be concentrating on the 2018 Commonwealth Games thread?

Eurovision 2017 will most likely be held in Ukraine after they won the 2016 contest with "1944" by Jamala.

The contest will take place on the 16th, 18th & 20th of May.

So far 5 countries have expressed their provisional interest in the competition. (May 15th)

Rob Snider has already usurped DVBCornwall.... you don't need to do the same. Leave the poor bloke alone.

He doesn't need violating twice!

We haven't even had Eurovision 2016 yet!

Yes but this news has already come about so why not?

I thought they didn't finalise the dates until the venue is known, and since the venue is always in the country that won the previous contest...

They don't. That's why they're preliminary dates.

That makes his link generator defunct!

We will be heading to UKRAINE for Eurovision 2017!!
