BBC Radio 2 will announced the UK cities shortlisted to host Eurovision 2023 during its breakfast show on Friday morning. Several cities up and down the country are all set to take part in a competitive bidding process including Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield and London.
Glasgow is currently the bookies' favourite to host the event. Any city with a bid in must meet a certain criteria including being within easy reach of an international airport and having enough hotel accommodation for at least 2,000 delegates, journalists and spectators.
It must also have a venue which can accommodate about 10,000 spectators. Ukraine won this year's contest, but due to the current war over there, the country is unable to hold the event next year.
Eurovision megafan Craig Hill reckons it will take place at the Hydro, and has put himself up for hosting it. The kilted comic from East Kilbride is a regular audience member at Eurovision and was in Italy’s Turin when Ukraine won.
He said: "I really do think it’s going to be at the Hydro and it seems like all the fans do as well. I would host Eurovision in a shot! If it ends up there Glasgow will be a great host city!"
Like Glasgow, he has competition to be the TV host, with names in the running including Graham Norton, who has been commenting on Eurovision for the UK since 2009, Rylan Clark, This Morning's Alison Hammond and news presenter Huw Edwards saying he'd like to do it if it's in Cardiff.
