Burgas will stage Eurovision 2027 from May 11–15, with semifinals on May 11 and 13 and the final on May 15. The decision follows Bulgaria’s first Eurovision win this year and a competitive bid process that selected Burgas over Sofia, Varna and Plovdiv. Arena Burgas will host the event, marking Bulgaria’s first hosting and the contest’s first seaside venue.
AVROTROS has announced it will not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2027, saying the contest can no longer be considered neutral while a country involved in a large-scale military conflict is allowed to compete. The decision hands responsibility for Dutch representation to public broadcaster NPO and follows a wider boycott by five European broadcasters in 2026.
