It’s time for the 68th annual Eurovision Song Contest! The international competition will bring together artists from 37 countries to perform original songs accompanied by fun and flashy performances. This year’s Eurovision theme is “The Eurovision Lights,” which the organization defines as, “a concept based on simple linear gradients, inspired by the vertical lines that permeate both the Northern lights and sound equalizers.” Some of the names on the lineup this year include U.K. entry Olly Alexander of the band Years & Years, Windows95Man from Finland (last year’s runner up), Baby Lasagna, Nemo, the Swiss entry with a ballad/rap/dance mashup that had audiences buzzing during qualifying.
