After the fulminant victory of Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest, the planning will be ongoing from today. And Lisbon seems to be the perfect city with the facilities a huge contest needs. The former EXPO area close to the sea has the MEO arena which can host up to 20.000 people.

After the fulminant victory of Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest, the planning will be ongoing from today. And Lisbon seems to be the perfect city with the facilities a huge contest needs. The former EXPO area close to the sea has the MEO arena which can host up to 20.000 people. 

The most possible dates are 8. - 10. - 12. May 2018

It is to be expected that Portugal is going crazy with big parties on the streets. After winning the European Football Championships 2016, Portugal is now the winner of music 2017. And it will be a great host of the ESC 2018. A long deserved victory. Congratulations.

About me:
As one of the founders of eurovisionlive.com I am responsible for the interviews with the singers and the editorial content. My passion for the Eurovision Song Contest exists since my early childhood. The exotic music, different cultures and languages have given a lot of inspiration to me. Since my very first ESC in Dublin 1994 I particularly appreciate the get together and friendship of all the nationalities and Riverdance was a thrill!
