According to the delegation's leader, each of the shortlisted host towns has what it takes to accommodate artists and fans from all across the World. The prerequisites of adequate arena capacity, hotel accommodations, and city framework were all taken into account. A final visit to each city was performed in order to determine the 10th edition's host city.
