This momentous announcement marks a significant milestone for Bulgaria, as it prepares to welcome Europe’s biggest music event for the very first time.
Minister Miloshev expressed his delight at Burgas’s victory in the bidding process, highlighting that this opportunity extends beyond the city itself, becoming a significant platform for the entire nation. He emphasised the immense potential for cultural exchange, tourism, and international exposure that hosting the Eurovision Song Contest will bring to Bulgaria.
Miloshev stated:
This is a huge opportunity for all of Bulgaria, because every city, every space, every stage gives us the opportunity to show the power of our talent, of hospitality and of the great cultural potential we have, to the world and to Europe. The Ministry of Culture will be with all of you, we continue together.
The announcement confirms that the 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Burgas, with the Grand Final scheduled for Saturday, 15th May 2027, preceded by semi-finals on Tuesday, 11th May, and Thursday, 13th May. The state-of-the-art Arena Burgas is set to be the venue for all three live shows, welcoming thousands of fans and delegates.
Bulgaria earned the right to host the contest after DARA secured a historic victory at Eurovision 2026 in Vienna with her captivating song, ‘Bangaranga‘. The selection of Burgas, a vibrant city on the Black Sea coast, was a highly competitive process, ultimately chosen over other strong bids, including the capital Sofia.
The Minister’s congratulations underscore the national pride and excitement surrounding this upcoming event, promising an unforgettable experience that will showcase the best of Bulgarian culture and hospitality to a global audience.
