Darlington launches shock bid to host Eurovision Song Contest in 2023

Darlington has launched a bid to host Eurovision Song Contest in 2023. Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen revealed the news during a scrutiny meeting on Wednesday afternoon. The UK will host the contest next year after organisers decided it could not be held in war-torn Ukraine. Glasgow is favourite to win, followed by Birmingham, Belfast and Liverpool. Newcastle confirmed its bid on Monday. The bidding process to decide which city will be host was launched last month. Sheffield, London, and Manchester confirmed they will put in an official bid. Darlington Arena is able to hold more than 25,000 spectators.
