The Eurovision Song Contest was started in 1956 after World War II to promote unity and test new live broadcast technology. It has become a fun and feel-good pop music festival that attracts hundreds of millions of people around the world. Member states have increased from seven to nearly 40, including non-European countries such as Israel and Australia.
Known for songs ranging from hymns to the downright ridiculous, combined with elaborate costumes and spectacular staging.
It is also the launching pad for the careers of many mainstream artists, including ABBA, Canadian singer Celine Dion (who represented Switzerland in 1988), and Italian rock band Maneskin in 2021. Last year’s winner, Swedish songstress Loreen, is one of them. Only two people have won this contest twice.
