Finland earned the right to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki after heavy metal band Lordi's victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. 

It was the first time the Contest had been held in Finland. A budget of €13 million was presented for arranging the contest. Other bids to host the contest came from Espoo, Turku and Tampere. The hosts were Finnish television personality Jaana Pelkonen and Finnish musician, stage performer and actor Mikko Leppilampi.
