Upcoming Competition Details

The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be aired on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

This year, there has been controversy as over 70 former Eurovision participants signed a letter aiming to ban Israel from the contest.

The letter asserts that Israel’s participation in the 2024 publication marked it as “the most politicized, chaotic, and unpleasant in the history of the competition.”

It also charges the Canal with being “an accomplice in the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the long-standing apartheid regime and military occupation against the entire Palestinian people,” claiming that the ECU “normalizes and legitimizes its crimes.”

The Irish broadcaster RTÉ has also called for a discussion on Israel’s participation in the contest.

Remember on Monday recently spoke with NME about the competition in this year’s song contest in Basel, noting that the “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen had a significant influence on their “chaotic” song “What the hell has just happened?”

The trio, consisting of Laren Burn, Holly-Enn Hall, and Charlotte Steal, is the first girl group to represent the UK since those who placed 12th in 1999. Great Britain has only made the top ten three times.

“On the Internet, there were many people saying, ‘I don’t know how a country so sour-driving will go to Eurovision.’ And, obviously, we just had to sit there and be silent,” Burn remarked.

Style added: “In a sense, this assumption helped us because we were so excited and proud of a song that we simply could not wait for people to hear it.”

Estonian representative Tommy Cache also recently discussed with NME the inspiration behind his controversial song “Espresso McKoyato” and his hopes for victory.
