The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is set to be one to remember, with the UK hosting the event - on behalf of last year’s winners Ukraine - for the first time in 25 years.
Thirty seven countries from all over Europe (and Australia) will be competing to take home the trophy at this year’s event, but only 26 will make it through to the Grand Final on May 13.
France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom - also known as the ‘big five’ - all automatically get a place in the final as they make the biggest financial contributions to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
