Eurovision 2015: Vienna, Graz or Innsbruck to host

Still in the race are Austria's capital Vienna, Graz in the province of Styria and Tyrol's Innsbruck.

"After careful consideration of all applications, the ORF has decided to conduct further discussions with the City of Vienna and the operators of the Wiener Stadthalle, the city of Graz and the operators of the Stadthalle Graz and Innsbruck and the operators of the OlympiaWorld," ORF confirmed.

How long the current talks will take, has not yet been revealed.

This also means that the Schwechat airport (Lower Austria), the event site at Schwarzlsee (Styria), Carinthia with the Wörthersee Stadium and Burgenland with the Oberwart Exhibition Centre are no longer in the running to host the contest next year.
