Full list of all countries taking part in Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and their songs
The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is set to be one to remember, with the UK hosting the event - on behalf of last year’s winners Ukraine - for the first time in 25 years.
France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom - also known as the ‘big five’ - all automatically get a place in the final as they make the biggest financial contributions to the European Broadcasting Union .Last year’s winners Ukraine, who are unable to host this year’s event due to the ongoing Russian invasion, also get an automatic spot in the final.
This year’s entries feature Sweden’s Loreen, who won for her home country back in 2012 with ‘Euphoria’, a neon ballroom and rap fusion from Finland’s Käärijä, a story of sisterhood from Czech folk band Vesna, and an ode to Edgar Allan Poe in the form of Austria’s Teya & Salena.
