Eurovision 2018 winner Netta has finally broken her infamous streak of incorrect host city predictions, much to the delight and surprise of fans across Europe. After eight consecutive years of guessing the wrong city, her prediction for the Eurovision Song Contest 2027 has been confirmed as correct. The highly anticipated announcement reveals that Burgas, Bulgaria, will indeed host the next edition of the contest.
Since her victory in Lisbon in 2018, Netta Barzilai has cultivated a humorous tradition among Eurovision fans: predicting the host city for the upcoming contest. However, this tradition was largely known for its consistent inaccuracy, with Netta famously getting it wrong every single year.
For eight years, from 2019 through to 2026, her choices for the host city were always contradicted by the official announcements. For instance, she predicted Jerusalem for 2019 (Tel Aviv hosted), Amsterdam for 2021 (Rotterdam hosted), Rome for 2022 (Turin hosted), Manchester for 2023 (Liverpool hosted), Stockholm for 2024 (Malmö hosted), Geneva for 2025 (Basel hosted), and Innsbruck for 2026 (Vienna hosted).
This year, however, the long-running gag has taken an unexpected turn. Netta shared her prediction for Eurovision 2027 in a recent Instagram reel, confidently naming Burgas, Bulgaria, as her choice.

The news was met with the usual playful scepticism from fans, many of whom jokingly assumed Sofia would be the actual host city, following the pattern of Netta’s ‘anti-Midas touch’. Yet, yesterday, the official confirmation arrived: Burgas has indeed been selected to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2027!
This marks a historic moment for the Israeli superstar and a joyous occasion for the Eurovision community, as Netta’s ‘curse’ has finally been broken. The road to Eurovision 2027 in Burgas, Bulgaria, now officially begins, with fans eager to see what other surprises the next contest will bring.
