Conchita won the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen in 2014 with her entry Rise like a Phoenix, thus bringing the contest on Austrian soil for the second time in Eurovision history. Vienna will get the chance to host the event for the second time too.

The 2015 Eurovision Song Contest is scheduled to be held on 19, 21 and 23 of May at the Wiener Statdhalle in Vienna, Austria.
