RTP, the Portuguese national broadcaster has revealed that the 2018 Euroclub will be located on the waterfront at Lisbon’s fashionable and trendy Cais do Sodré district, whilst the venue is yet to confirmed.

The concept of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest depicts Portugal’s connection with oceans and seas and its maritime history and heritage.

RTP, the 2018 Eurovision host broadcaster, and the City of Lisbon will be hosting all the Eurovision events on the shores of the Tagus river, thus all the venues will be located on the waterfront very much in league with the contest’s theme and slogan: All Aboard!
