Hiller\u00f8d could become the future home of Denmark\u2019s Eurovision selection show, with the city now in talks with broadcaster DR about hosting the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in either 2028 or 2029. This comes following reports that early discussions are underway as part of a long\u2011term plan tied to the city\u2019s expanding event infrastructure.<\/p>\n
At the centre of Hiller\u00f8d\u2019s interest is Royal Stage 2, a major extension of the existing Royal Stage arena. The new venue is scheduled for completion in 2027, and would offer increased capacity and upgraded technical facilities \u2013 key requirements for staging a live national final of DMGP\u2019s scale.<\/p>\n
According to the report, DR requires a 2 million kroner contribution as a condition for hosting the contest. Hiller\u00f8d\u2019s administration has therefore recommended allocating the amount to DR in the 2027 municipal budget, signalling the city\u2019s intent to position itself as a viable future host.<\/p>\n
DR has not yet confirmed any host cities beyond 2027, and no agreement with Hiller\u00f8d has been finalised. However, the broadcaster is reportedly open to considering the city once the new arena is operational.<\/p>\n
If selected, Hiller\u00f8d would join recent DMGP host cities including Herning, N\u00e6stved and Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
