I think that every Bulgarian city has something to offer both in terms of culture and history, especially in terms of people and modern services. So let’s present ourselves with dignity. I think that Burgas is a really good choice. Let me emphasize, this is a choice of an international expert committee. I am putting an end to all speculation. I think that Burgas will succeed in representing Bulgaria with dignity.
The announcement of Burgas as the chosen city, with the Grand Final scheduled for May 15, 2027, at Arena Burgas, has been met with enthusiasm. Prime Minister Radev’s comments highlight the national pride associated with hosting Eurovision. He emphasised that Burgas possesses the necessary infrastructure and vibrant culture to ensure a memorable contest for both participants and viewers worldwide, having been chosen over other strong bids like Sofia due to its accommodation capacity, venue potential, and overall vision.
Bulgaria’s hosting of Eurovision 2027 marks a significant moment for the nation, showcasing its commitment to international cultural exchange and its capacity to manage large-scale events. This will be the first time Bulgaria hosts the Eurovision Song Contest.
