Eurovision Song Contest
Saturday, May 13, 3 – 6 pm
In the Members Lounge
Europe’s favorite television show streaming live via the internet on the Club’s new 85-inch TV!
If you grew up in Europe there’s no need to explain. Before American Idol there was Eurovision. Since 1956, the Contest has been broadcast every year and is one of television’s longest running music shows. It is one of the most watched non-sporting events in the world. Featuring kitschy costumes and every style of music, love it or hate it the Contest represents a broad cross section of European culture unmatched by any other event.
- 37 countries participate in Eurovision 2023; 25 in the Grand Final.
- Two semi-finals are held leading up to Saturday’s Grand Final.
- Five countries are automatic pre-qualified for the Grand Final: France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom.
- Each country will have two sets of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 and 12 points to give: One set for each country’s jury, and one set for each country’s televoting. Televoters and national juries have equal weight in the voting.
Last year’s winner Ukraine is not able to host this year, for obvious reasons, so the Contest is hosted by the U.K. (Liverpool).
