You've already bulk-ordered the booze and European-themed snacks - and the more adventurous will quite possibly have even planned their costumes. But if there's one thing every Eurovision evening needs, it's a liveblog to document proceedings and provide insightful analysis (read: weak jokes).
So we'll be here from 8pm on Saturday night to provide a little extra entertainment – more entertainment? how can that even be possible? – and provide essential catch-up services for the moments you inexplicably lose concentration or have to nip to the loo. Put on your most spangly outfit, choose your country to support and join us here live on Saturday night.
In the meantime, you might want to swot up on which country is likely to provide the evening's star turn. You'll find Stuart Heritage's thoughts on the first semi-final just over here, and Peter Robinson's take on the second batch of contestants right here. And if it's really all about the ludicrous costumes, we've helpfully assembled a picture gallery from the dress rehearsals.
See you Saturday from 8pm!
