The world’s largest live music event has reached its glitter-drenched conclusion with the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest

The Swedish entry for the 2025 contest in Basel, Switzerland has been the frontrunner since March with their jaunty pop song and staging with lumberjack dancers who rip off their gear and risk a wardrobe malfunction as they bounce around the stage in post-sauna towels. It’s peak Eurovision.

In a blaze of laser lights, artists from 26 countries were preparing to rip the roof off at Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest final, the world's biggest live music television event.
