It's Eurovision 2026! Evening all, and welcome to this year's Eurovision song contest grand final liveblog. After five years working backstage at actual Eurovision, I am back on my liveblog sofa to guide you through tonight's Viennese whirlwind of glitter, drama, and pyrotechnics.
As an added bonus, your usual host Martin Belam is inside the Wiener Stadthalle watching tonight's show live, bringing us invaluable sparkly-boots-on-the-ground insight into what is actually going big in the arena, as opposed to what Eurofans are angrily typing in all caps online.
Are you ready? Kick-off is at 9pm, so grab snacks, drinks, and any emotional support sequins you may need, and strap in for a long but hopefully joyful night of Eurovision nonsense.
Yaaaaas Eurofans. We are so back.
