Twenty-five Eurovision finalists to compete for title in grand final

  • The Eurovision Song Contest grand final is scheduled for tonight in Vienna, Austria, featuring 25 finalist countries competing for the title.
  • The UK's contestant, Look Mum No Computer (Sam Battle), will perform his song 'Eins, Zwei, Drei' and aims to improve the nation's recent track record, despite the UK being a “big five” country with a guaranteed spot.
  • Australia's entry, pop star Delta Goodrem with her song 'Eclipse', is currently the second favourite to win, hoping to secure the country's first ever Eurovision victory.
  • Other prominent contestants include Israel's delegate, favourite-to-win Finland, Greece, and Bulgaria's DARA, who will all be vying for the top spot.
  • Viewers in the UK can tune into the final on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 8pm, with Graham Norton providing his customary commentary from Vienna.
