After weeks of debates and such the host city of the Eurovision Song Contest in Austria will be in Vienna.
Quote:
The choice was approved by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU/EUROVISION).
"Vienna is the city of music and arts in the heart of Europe. Together we will do everything to assure a successful 60th Eurovision Song Contest." says Director General of ORF, Alexander Wrabetz.
"We are very pleased with ORF's decision to choose Vienna as the host city of the next Eurovision Song Contest," says Jon Ola Sand, Executive Supervision on behalf of the EBU. "We are confident the city has the experience, people and the facilities to host the world's foremost entertainment event. With the cooperation between Vienna, ORF and the EBU, I'm sure we'll see three amazing shows in May."
I'm not surprised, EBU and ORF went with the venue that could hold the most and the Wiener Stadhalle holds 16k, while Innsbruck and Graz are at around 11k.
