From Ballads to Bank Transfers: Why Eurovision and International Connections Still Steal the Show
While you dust off your Eurovision 2024 scorecard to check how the countries ranked, one thing’s for sure: Eurovision continues to bring people together like no other event. Whether you're comparing the wildest outfits or rewatching your favorites on YouTube, the Eurovision Song Contest is a yearly celebration of unity, sequins, and sometimes… surprisingly catchy tunes.
Every May, Europe turns up the volume, grabs the glitter, and settles in for one of the continent’s most iconic traditions: Eurovision. Since 1956, the contest has been bringing together countries from across Europe – and beyond – to celebrate music, culture, and a little friendly competition.
But Eurovision is about more than just key changes and pyrotechnics. It’s about connection. Families and friends cheering for their home country from opposite sides of the globe. Expats tuning in from afar. A shared moment that brings people closer, wherever they live.
Sound familiar? We think so too.
A quick look back at Eurovision
It all started in Switzerland, when just seven countries took part in the first Eurovision Song Contest. Fast-forward nearly 70 years, and the show now draws in over 40 nations and millions of viewers around the world.
Over the years, we’ve had the highs (Sweden’s many wins, Ukraine’s powerful entries) and the lows (yes, the infamous nul points). From Eurovision favourites like Loreen and Måneskin to offbeat acts that become viral legends, the contest never fails to surprise.
Still wondering who won Eurovision 2024? Spoiler alert: it’s never just about the winner. It's about the chaos, the camaraderie, and the joy of everyone shouting “12 points!” at their screen.
Eurovision 2025: what’s next?
So, when is Eurovision 2025? And what time does Eurovision start? It’s a bit early for the full Eurovision running order, but fans are already eyeing up the Eurovision Big 5 and making guesses about the next breakout act.
And with Eurovision tickets in high demand year after year, now’s the time to start planning for your next glitter-fuelled viewing party.
Wherever you're tuning in from, one thing’s guaranteed: Eurovision makes the continent feel a little more connected — even if half the audience is arguing about key changes and staging.
