L… W… E…

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was the

67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It
took place in Liverpool, United Kingdom, after
Ukraine, winner of the 2022 contest with the
song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, was
unable to meet the demands of hosting the
event due to security concerns caused by the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. Organised by the
European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host
broadcaster the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) on behalf of the Public
Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA: PBC),
the contest was held at the Liverpool Arena,
and consisted of two semi-finals on 9 and 11
May, and the final on 13 May 2023. The three
live shows were presented by British singer
Alesha Dixon, British actress Hannah
Waddingham and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina,
with Irish television presenter Graham Norton
joining for the final.

"Tattoo"

2022 ← Eurovision Song Contest → 2024

Thirty-seven countries participated in the

contest, with Bulgaria, Montenegro and North
Macedonia ceasing their participation, mainly
due to the economic impact of the 2021–2023
global energy crisis.

The winner was Sweden with the song

"Tattoo", performed by Loreen and written by
her with five others. Loreen became the
second performer to win the contest twice; it
was also the seventh win for Sweden, tying
Ireland's record for the most victories in the
contest. Finland, Israel, Italy and Norway
rounded out the top five.
