After two closely run semi-finals, the music event of the year is once again finally upon us, as Liverpool plays host to the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Fans at home have already been treated to two semi-finals earlier this week, which saw 32 performers battle it out for one of just 20 available spaces in tonight’s Grand Final, Saturday 13 May.
The 20 qualifying acts will now duke it out alongside automatic qualifiers France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ukraine and the UK in order to be crowned this year’s Eurovision winner.
But of course, Eurovision isn’t just about the competing acts, as a special surprise interval performance is also due to take place as the votes are counted, with last year’s runner up Sam Ryder set to take to the stage.
Graham Norton will also be returning to present and commentate this year’s show, with assistance fromAlesha Dixon,Hannah Waddingham and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina.
As things kick off at 8pm on BBC One, OK! will be with fans every step of the way as we live blog the Grand Final to see which talented act will take home the coveted Eurovision win for 2023.
Fans embrace the Eurovision spirit ahead of the final
Fans from all over the world have been getting into the party mood as the countdown to the show officially got underway on Saturday evening.
Dressed in their most colourful outfits, many descended on Liverpool, even despite the rail strikes, in order to experience the musical extravaganza live in person.
However, fans who weren’t lucky enough to bag a ticket, didn’t let that stop them from getting into the Eurovision mood, as people from across Europe (and even beyond!) have staged their own Eurovision parties at home in anticipation of tonight’s grand final.
