After Italy secured victory at Eurovision 2021 thanks to the performance of the rock band Måneskin, the city chosen to host the 66th edition of the contest, scheduled for May 10 to May 14, is Turin.

The competition will kick off next Tuesday with the first semi-final, followed by the second semi-final on Thursday. The grand final, slated to begin at 21:00 on Saturday, May 14, will spotlight Spain in its climactic moment.
