For these 7 days the city will become the musical capital of the world. Preparation for hosting such a large-scale show takes a whole year. The budget for the competition is formed by the participating countries. The total amount will be announced after the Eurovision. However, it is clear that this year's show will be one of the most expensive ones in history.
The main emphasis is placed on security this year. The guests and participants of the competition should not feel threat. The recent events in Paris and Brussels have undermined the image of tourism in Europe.
Ivan has continued his rehearsals today, and afterwards the Eurovision organizers invited him to a small tour of Stockholm.
The main events of Eurovision will start on Sunday with the opening of the Eurovillage at the Royal Garden and the start of the Eurovision week in the City Hall.
