Eurovision – the most glittery, flamboyant and downright bonkers singing competition on the planet – is back for another year this May. After a win for Switzerland in 2024, this year’s Euro-pop extravaganza is being held in the city of Basel, with all-female trio Remember Monday repping the UK.
While you can always enjoy the grand final and Graham Norton’s delightfully snarky commentary from the comfort of your own sofa, there are plenty of viewing parties going on across the city offering the perfect excuse to don a sequined bodysuit and boogie to some of the campest tunes ever created.
Like last year, though, it appears that many go-to venues have chosen not to host parties this year, whether on account of Israel’s participation or the competition’s new ban on Pride flags, with the likes of the Clapham Grand and Dalston’s Rio Cinema not hosting screenings this year.
