What time is the Eurovision Song Contest on?

Saturday 23 May sees the staging of the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria, with 27 countries battling it out in the Grand Final to be crowned 2015’s winner.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 Grand Final will be live on BBC One from 8pm, and will be hosted by the first ever all-female presenting line-up, Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer. 

They’ll be joined by last year’s winner Conchita Wurst, who romped to victory last year for Austria with emotional ballad Rise Like A Phoenix. Conchita will be backstage in the Green Room chatting to the contestants as they face the agonising wait to see if they have done enough to take home the Grand Prix.

On commentating duties for the UK from the back of the Wiener Stahthalle in Vienna will be chat show host and Radio 2 presenter Graham Norton, who’s been offering his own unique spin on the sights and sounds of the Eurovision stage since 2009, when he took over from legendary Terry Wogan.

Reading out the UK's voting results on behalf of the British public will be none other than glamorous superstar chef and domestic goddess Nigella Lawson.

Representing the UK this year is electro-swing duo Electro Velvet – aka Bianca Nicholas and Alex Larke – with their entry I’m Still In Love With You.

Electro Velvet automatically qualified for the Grand Final as the UK is part of the “Big 5” – the broadcasters who make the largest financial contribution toward the cost of staging the show – along with France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Last year’s winners Austria get a free pass, of course, and as a special guest to mark the 60th Eurovision Song Contest, Australia are set to take the stage for the first time, represented by Australian Idol winner and Number 1 artist Guy Sebastian. The extraordinary inclusion of Australia is in recognition of the Contest’s huge fanbase Down Under.

The other 20 contestants in tonight’s live show took part in two semi-finals, on Tuesday and Thursday, with 10 from each show qualifying for a Grand Final place.

Don’t miss it! The Eurovision Song Contest starts at 8pm tonight (Saturday 23 May) on BBC One!
