The UK is hosting the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of last year’s winners Ukraine, with 160 million people set to watch the show worldwide. The competition will take place at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena.

There will also be a number of free events in Liverpool to continue the Eurovision party, including EuroFest. This two-week cultural takeover, starting from May 1, will see UK and Ukrainian artists collaborate on new commissions located across the city centre.
