A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said the city is a 'safe pair of hands' after hosting COP26 last November, while Aberdeen City Council has also thrown its hat in the ring.
Two of Scotland's largest cities confirmed they would be launching bids to host the Eurovision Song Contest next year. It comes as the European Broadcasting Union and the BBC confirmed the annual competition would be hosted in the UK.A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said the city is a "safe pair of hands" after hosting COP26 last November. While Aberdeen City Council says it has a "track record" in delivering international events.
"Time is now really short to organise the contest and, having recently hosted Cop, we know Glasgow is the safest of safe pairs of hands." A spokesperson for Aberdeen City Council said: "We were disappointed to learn that Eurovision 2023 cannot take place in Ukraine. Aberdeen has a track record of delivering major international events and now that the EBU has confirmed that the BBC will host the 2023 Eurovision song contest, we will look at the next steps in terms of the shortlisting process.
"We have the city, the people and infrastructure to support international events such as this and it would provide a major boost to the Aberdeen and Scottish economies and raise the city's profile with potential investors and visitors."
