For nearly 70 years, Eurovision has put on an incredible live music extravaganza that allows countries from all corners of Europe (and beyond) to showcase their vocal talents. A diverse and eclectic mix of musical styles are often performed during the song contest, which enables viewers to get a taste of the countless cultures that can be found across the continent.
This year's Eurovision final will be taking place on Saturday, May 14 in Turin, Italy, and will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 8pm BST. This year's UK entry is Sam Ryder, an Essex TikTok sensation who hopes to wow the crowd and bring home the Eurovision trophy with his song 'Space Man'.
Over the years, Eurovision has been a great source of entertainment, simultaneously making viewers laugh, cry, and gasp at the musical delights that the contest provides. There have been some truly groundbreaking moments, from performers who represent the underrepresented, to unforgettable dance routines. In celebration of this weekend's final, here are just seven of Eurovision's most memorable moments and contestants.
