Ahead of Eurovision over in Liverpool this month we give our pick of some of the entries to watch out for. And if you haven’t got a ticket for the big night, you can get involved at one of the fan zones in the area, there’ll never be a dull moment…
Mae Muller | I Wrote a Song | UK
The UK’s pick for Eurovision this year is Mae Muller performing I Wrote a Song. With the UK’s stellar result in the competition last year, we can hope that this year will be an equally impressive performance, especially with the competition taking place on our home turf. This up-tempo break-up song entered
the UK top 40 at number 30, making it a promising contender for this year’s competition.
Tvorchi | Heart of Steel | Ukraine
Heart of Steel is joint host Ukraine’s entry this year, coming from duo act Tvorchi. The pair wrote the song to reflect the resilience of Ukraine’s people throughout the war with Russia, and even added a verse in Ukrainian after they won the Eurovision spot, following a televised competition from inside a bomb shelter. Far from being overly sentimental, the song packs a punch, is full of swagger, and has a good chance of being this year’s winner.
Noa Kirel | Unicorn | Israel
Noa Kirel was the first artist picked for Eurovision this year after being internally selected by Israeli broadcaster KAN back in July 2022. Her song Unicorn is an anthem of self-empowerment and features some lyrics in Hebrew. Noa can be seen showing off some impressive dance moves in the official music video for the song and we can only hope that we’ll get to see these live during the semi-finals (and hopefully finals!)

Loreen | Tattoo | Sweden
Sweden’s entry is the current bookmakers’ favourite for this years’ winner, but that doesn’t mean it’s a pure thing. The song’s current odds are down to its popularity – it entered the Swedish charts right at number one after it debuted at Melodifestivalen and has swept across mainland Europe since. The performance was so successful that it doubles as the song’s official music video, featuring some spectacular lighting that we can only hope will be replicated in Liverpool.
If this rundown has got you raring to watch Eurovision, then you’re in luck because a massive watch party will be taking place in Cheetham Hill food market GRUB on 13th May. You can catch the final live, surrounded by free-flowing drinks and Eurovision inspired eats. GRUB will be using this party to fundraise for Ukraine, with tombola, donation points, pay-per karaoke, and several more fun fundraising activities taking place throughout the evening.
