Saturday night is getting a glittery twist as Europe gets ready to tune into one of its most beloved traditions—the Eurovision Song Contest.
From living rooms across the UK to packed viewing parties in cafes and pubs, millions are gearing up to watch 26 countries compete for that iconic glass microphone, with this year’s grand finale taking place in Basel, Switzerland.
UK Girl Group Remember Monday Steps Into the Spotlight
Representing the UK this year is the Hampshire-based girl group Remember Monday, made up of Lauren Byrne, Charlotte Steele, and Holly-Anne Hull.
Their track, What The Hell Just Happened?, has earned them the honor of being the UK’s first all-female group in the competition since 1999.
However, things haven’t been totally upbeat leading into tonight’s performance.
Bookmakers are forecasting a tough night for the trio, with predictions placing them on the lower end of the scoreboard.
Still, Eurovision is known for its surprises—anything can happen once those public votes roll in.
The Stage Is Set in Basel for a Glittering Show
This year’s contest is being hosted at the iconic St Jakobshalle arena in Basel.
Viewers can catch the action live on BBC One starting at 8pm BST, with returning hosts Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker, and Sandra Studer guiding audiences through the evening.
Brugger and Studer also helmed the semi-finals earlier this week, keeping the energy high as countries fought for a place in tonight’s show.
Graham Norton Returns—Despite a Recent Shoulder Surgery
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Eurovision night without Graham Norton’s witty commentary.
The 62-year-old presenter is back in his familiar BBC booth despite recently undergoing shoulder surgery.
Speaking with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2, Norton joked about his recovery, saying, “This is my left shoulder’s first appearance on radio.
It’s less than two weeks old. It feels a bit new, it’s a little owie, but forgive me—I’m on many, many medications right now!”
He didn’t share the details of the injury, but fans are just glad to have him back, sling and all.
Could Celine Dion Make a Surprise Appearance?
Adding to the buzz is speculation that international superstar Celine Dion might take the stage.
The Canadian singer famously won Eurovision in 1988 representing Switzerland, and with this year’s event being hosted on Swiss soil, fans are hopeful she’ll make a surprise return.
While there’s been no confirmation yet, the Eurovision stage has always welcomed big surprises—and this one would be legendary.

With acts from across Europe pulling out all the stops, the question remains: who will walk away with the trophy and eternal Eurovision glory?
