In the city, indoor sporting arena Bosch-Halle will host the contest with a capacity of 9,060 people.

Format[]
ORF officially opened the submission period to participate on 1 May 2017, which closed on 1 June. On 5 June 2017, ORF announced that they had received a total of 398 entries with many artists having sent more than one song; this also marked the highest submission number. ORF then stated that multiple panels of professionals would shortlist the amount to 100, where new panels would shortlist to 25. All panels would then join together to shortlist the 25 songs to the eight competing entries. Despite the shortlisting process details, ORF stated on 24 June 2017 that 474 entries were actually received, but the number had been shorted down by now. On 7 July 2017, ORF revealed that they had handpicked six of these songs to compete in the current edition, with the rest saved for "the future".
Due to the controversy inflicted from the previous edition, ORF decided to not include any returning singers for the first time ever in the history of the competition. However, this angered some returnees who submitted a song, which led ORF to give "at least one" spot in the next edition to a returnee.
