AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoEurovision 2027: Bulgaria’s Black Sea city Burgas has been officially picked to host the 71st Eurovision Song Contest, with the two semifinals on May 11 and 13, and the grand final on May 15 at Arena Burgas—beating Sofia after a “complex” evaluation of venues and logistics. Eurovision Rules Update: Organisers also tightened hosting eligibility: countries involved in an “armed conflict” or “sensitive geopolitical situation” (or any situation that materially affects security, safety or stability) can’t host the next year. Local Culture & Music: Ahead of the big stage, Burgas is already being framed as a music hub with plans for Eurovision Village and a Turquoise Carpet along the seafront. Arts & Culture Spotlight: BTA’s LIK magazine dedicates its August issue to St. John of Rila and Rila Monastery, marking 1,080 years since his death, with a presentation at the monastery library on Aug. 18. Music Festivals: Varna’s 35th International Jazz Festival runs Aug. 13–16, while Bansko’s Heart of the Balkans festival is Aug. 14–15 with free concerts in the town square.
