UK act Mae Muller is hoping to continue the success of last year’s UK entry Sam Ryder and will finally take to the Eurovision stage in the grand final tonight in Liverpool
The UK’s Mae Muller has said she is “ready to get this show on the road” ahead of today's Eurovision final, after it emerged Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky had been barred from addressing the event.
Twenty-six acts will perform at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool to an expected global audience of 160 million viewers, according to the BBC, after the UK agreed to host the contest on behalf of war-torn Ukraine. It comes after the European Broadcasting Union , which produces the event, said it had declined Mr Zelensky’s request to speak on Saturday over fears it could politicise the contest.
The move prompted criticism from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his predecessor Boris Johnson, among other figures.Liverpool City Region mayor Steve Rotheram has said he will speak to both the Ukrainian ambassador and the mayor of Lviv, who are both in the city for the final, “to discuss what we can do to provide a platform” for Mr Zelensky.
