Since Conchita Wurst won Eurovision in May, her home country, Austria, will have the honors of hosting next year's competition. The cities of Innsbruck and Graz were considered for the position of host city, but it was announced today that the capital, Vienna, has been selected.
Vienna has a rich cultural history and is regarded as the "City of Music." It is home to many beautiful cathedrals, operas, museums, imperial palaces, and the world's oldest zoo. The Wiener Stadthallen was chosen as the official venue of the Contest. It has an approximate seating capacity of 16,000 and has hosted some of the biggest musical performers in the world, including Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and former Eurovision winner, Céline Dion.
Eurovision 2015 has been scheduled for the third week of May, with the two semifinals taking place on May 19 and 21, and the final on May 23. This is only the second time Austria will host the Contest, the first was also in Vienna, in 1967.
