Hard to tell from my side how much they can spend. Last time I checked, Azerbaijan suffered from heavy inflation, so I don't know if the state is willing to take the burden to invest much into the project, although where is oil there is multi-millionaires. Perhaps they will have less problems with the hosting than I assume. We'll see.

The costs, that's one of the main things, costs, time and technics. The problem here is, there is need for much more time for rehearsals and soundcheck for more than 40 acts in the worst case, with all the technical issues. They can't even get a good overall sound for the event, if you remember the competition. Some countries would be able to do a decent job, others not. I can understand the fear of the hosts.
