Post any general news about the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest here.
I'm sure there won't be any for a while....
It's true that Kosovo will debut if a country who will win today recognises Kosovo?
I want to know the dates of Esc 2018 very soon!I don't know why but I can't wait!Hope for the first week of May!
RTP will have the first meeting to start preparing the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest tomorrow! The team has already decided that they want MEO Arena to host, it seems, and they want to confirm things with EBU so the arena will be selected,
They also said that RTP will already start working with sponsors to help carry the costs for the organization, which they say averages 30 million euros for the past few years.
I like how last year it took four months to choose a venue, whilst this year it's only been one day since the final and a venue already seems to be chosen.
I assume this is the only suitable indoor arena in Portugal so the choice is quite obviousI like how last year it took four months to choose a venue, whilst this year it's only been one day since the final and a venue already seems to be chosen.

At least another venue in Lisbon could host it, in terms of capacity, Campo Pequeno. But they don't stand a chance against MEO Arena.
On other cities I don't think there are indoor arenas big enough for Eurovision, but there could be stadiums with temporary roofs put over, like Lviv suggested this year, that could compete with MEO Arena, or maybe some sort of alternative type of venue that isn't primarily used as an arena for concerts, like B&W Hallerne. However, they would stand no chance against MEO Arena, so I don't think there is any point in making a competition this year, as long as MEO Arena is available!
