The Grand Final of Eurovision will kick off in Liverpool at 8pm tonight (May 13) as 26 performers look to take the crown. Since beginning in 1956, the annual event has featured some iconic artists such as Celine Dion.
The first Eurovision Song Contest was held in Lugano, Switzerland. It was won by Switzerland's entrant for the tournament, Lys Assia.
Then, in 1974, legendary Swedish group ABBA found international fame by winning the competition with Waterloo. It was then the turn of Canadian power-ballad vocalist Celine in 1988.
