So, this has been backed up for a long while as I haven't felt too confident with how short it is, but I think for a mini-timeline of a couple of updates, it is good. Plus I put too much effort into working out the scores in the usual YingBlanc way

The day after the victory of Sweden in 2015 in Eurovision by Måns Zelmerlöw, the Swedish Eurovision representatives at the national channel of Sveriges Television (from here on called SVT) announced their first choice of host venue is to be the 45k capacity Tele2 Arena. Despite this announcement, they were still open to bids from other cities and arenas to change their mind, and they would have till the 8th of June to do so.
A week before the deadline on the 8th of June, SVT further released their wants for a good venue for the massive continent-wide event. These included access to the venue for 4 to 6 weeks for preperations, as well as available press centers and hotels around the venue. Finally, the city had to be near a major commertial airport. After all of these, there was 6 cities available to host the competition; Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo, the 3 former host cities, and smaller dark-horse venues in Umea and Lulea to the far north, and a co-operation bid between Angelholm and Helsingborg, saddled by a major airport with two arenas vowing to share the responsibility.
As for the actual venues, Stockholm and Gothenburg saw the two largest amounts of arena bids, with the Ericsson Globe, Hovet Arena and the Tele2 Arena for Stockholm, holding from 45k to 8k capacity; and the Scandinavium, Frolundaborg Arena and the brand new Partille Arena, holding from 12k to 4k capacity. Mealwhile, Malmo proposed Malmo Arena once again, used in 2013 to host Eurovision, while the northern cities of Umea and Lulea proposed using the 5k T3 Center and the 6k Coop Norrbotten respectively. And finally, Angelholm and Helsingborg suggested a combination of the 5k Lindab Arena and the 4.7k Helsingborg Arena respectively, with each hosting one Semi-Final each, and the final being held in Lindab Arena with Helsingborg Arena airing it on a large screen live with a 3rd presenter there opposed to in the Green-room.
Finally, a week later on the 8th of July, SVT finally announced to the public the successful bid to host. The job of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest went to the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, a return to the venue since it's hosting of the 1985 contest.
