See the final play out on the silver screen and hear its cheesy bangers in surround sound as cinemas across the city partake in CinemaLive’s ultimate viewing party. London cinemas showing the event include Hackney Picturehouse and Everyman branches in Kings Cross Maida Vale and Broadgate. Singalongs encouraged, fancy dress preferred.
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’s expected that several of London’s favourite pro-Europop venues will be boycotting the competition on account of Israel’s participation. In 2024, they included the Clapham Grand and Dalston’s Rio Cinema.
