It’s Eurovision time again and following Germany’s win in 2010 with Satellite sung by Lena this year’s contest takes place in Dusseldorf. The Eurovision is the world’s biggest song contest and every year an estimated 125 million viewers tune in.
Since 2008, the Eurovision Song Contest consists of three live shows, aired prime-time to millions of homes across Europe. During two semi-finals, viewers and juries across Europe determine which countries will be represented in the final.
The final will be covered live on RTÉ One on Saturday 14 May from 8.00pm.
This year the show is presented by Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers and Stefan Raab with Marty Whelan providing commentary for Irish viewers.
