or you could stay in the Titanic and we all know what happens there. Their prices have already doubled since the announcement and who wants to fight over a lifeboat after the show?

My Uncle Frank reckons he might be able to get a couple of folk through the turnstiles at the Arena but it'll be twenty pound notes, minimum of five and you might have to watch from the gantry.

It is very much "Ukraine's party at our place", with the BBC and Ukrainian TV agreeing to put Ukrainian culture and presenters front and centre.

No songs selected yet......but there are plans already getting finalised. Don't you worry. I'll be updating this thread as I did last year when I can.
 
Ukraine's selection programme is live on YouTube now. It's taking place in a bomb shelter, location kept secret, for security reasons.

(Those are not my curtains, this is a rented house, I do what I can)

We have our first song for next year. Chosen tonight in a bomb shelter during a 4½ hour live television programme.

Ukraine 🇺🇦
TVORCHI
"Heart of Steel"


 
We have a second entry confirmed after a four -day festival concluding with a four+ hour final.

Albania 🇦🇱
Albina dhe Familja Kelmendi
"Duje"


 
Fair play to Lydon for having a go, although I must admit when I first read the headline I thought it was former two time winner Jonny LOGAN coming back!
 
(asking for a friend ). Has anyone applied for tickets and got any news. Mrs Tag seems to think very few tickets will go to public and will all be corporate or comps.

They're not on sale yet are they? You have to register to be notified but according to their site they're not on sale.

There are a number of shows including including the big night itself.

 
I've just sat through 2 hours of The Late Late Show and can now confirm we have our next chosen song for Liverpool.


Ireland 🇮🇪
Wild Youth
"We Are One"


 
It was a busy Saturday night for Eurovision related selection programmes. Let's summarise.

Jingle-y indie-pop in the British style for Slovenia.....
Schlager electronic pop silliness from Norway......
And bound to divide opinion like so much Marmite on toast, it's three minutes of undiluted, unfiltered, authentic flamenco from Spain......


Slovenia 🇸🇮
Joker Out
"Carpe Diem"





Norway 🇳🇴
Allesandra
"Queen of Kings"



Spain 🇪🇸
Blanco Paloma
"Eaea"

 
And slowly, slowly, the songs keep getting announced. Another one.


Czechia 🇨🇿
Vesna
"My Sister's Crown"


 
It's been a very busy night of selection programmes so let's summarise as best as I can.

I believe this has SUBTLE MESSAGING RELATING TO CERTAIN EVENTS though it's rather subdued and quiet so do be aware of that.

(It's three minutes of talking directly to the ex-Yu community and heaven only knows if this will do anything more widely)

Croatia 🇭🇷
Let 3
"Mama ŠČ"



I have no idea what has happened in Bucharest on this day.


Romania 🇷🇴
Theodor Andrei
"D.G.T. (Off and On)"

 
It's a piano-led ballad which doesn't involve her playing the piano. Not sure if this has the spark required to really do great numbers on the night.

Estonia 🇪🇪
Alika
"Bridges"





There's a corner of Eurovision which is trying to keep the flame of contemporary/modern songs alive. This is a great little electro/pop number which could feed into the current trend for taking 80s vibes into our day and age.

Denmark 🇩🇰
Reiley
"Breaking My Heart"


 
Another attempt to sound closer to this year than the last decade, Latvia has gone for rock-ish and it might just work.

Latvia 🇱🇻
Sudden Lights
"Aijā"

 
A boyband walks into a reality show's auditions process and this is the best they can do. I've got a sneaking suspicion about this.

Malta 🇲🇹
The Busker
"Dance (Our Own Party)"
