Hosts of Eurovision 2017 announced

For the first time in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest there will be three male hosts - Volodymyr Ostapchuk, Oleksandr Skichko and Timur Miroshnychenko - in Kyiv this year.

This team of hosts for Eurovision-2017 has been chosen by a complicated multiple-stage competition, according to the website of TV Channel "UA: Pershyi" ("UA: First").

"We did not set out looking for three young men but after being so impressed by them in the castings, we started to develop the idea of having these amazing young guys working together. They have a great chemistry, and its great because it has not been done before at Eurovision," Stuart Barlow, Show Producer of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, explained.

"Ukraine will become the first country to have three male hosts," Pavlo Hrytsak, Deputy of General Director of the UA: PBC, said.

The 2017 Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Kyiv, Ukraine, with Semi-Finals on May 9, 11 and the Grand Final on May 13. It will be the second time that Ukraine hosts the Eurovision Song Contest.
