Eurovision 2023: Government pledges £10m towards Liverpool song contest

The money will go on operational costs like security and visas for the show, being held in Liverpool.

 However, I can tell you that the Eurovision Song Contest is an annual international music competition in which countries from Europe (and some outside of Europe) compete against each other by performing original songs on live television. The winning country hosts the following year's competition. The event is known for its extravagant performances, colorful costumes, and unique staging.

The Eurovision Song Contest has been running since 1956 and has become one of the most watched television events in the world, attracting millions of viewers every year. Each participating country selects their representative song and artist through a national competition, and then competes in the Eurovision semi-finals and final. The contest has launched the careers of many famous artists such as ABBA, Celine Dion, and Conchita Wurst.

 Liverpool is a city in the northwest of England and has a rich musical heritage, being the birthplace of The Beatles and home to many famous music venues. The city has previously bid to host the Eurovision Song Contest and the government's pledge of £10m towards the event is seen as a positive step towards making this a reality. Hosting the contest would bring significant economic benefits to Liverpool and provide a platform for showcasing the city's culture and music scene to a global audience.
