The time has come!
It is officially Eurovision day! The first of the semi-finals commence tonight (Tuesday 13th May) as the first 15 entrants all take to the stage to perform their hearts out in a bid to qualify for the grand final later this week.
They won't be the only ones on stage either, with Spain, Italy and Switzerland all performing as part of the introduction of the Big Five and host country performing at the semi-finals.
Kicking things off in Basel is Iceland's entry, VÆB with their "electro-pop sea shanty" Róa. Other entrants performing tonight are KAJ, with their song Bara Bada Bastu - which is the most-streamed song in the competition according to new research.
Streaming data from Spotify has revealed that KAJ's song has generated over twice as many streams as the second most-streamed entry. And with Sweden a favourite to win already, could this performance take them to the final?
For audiences in the UK, the contest kick starts on Tuesday 13th May at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer, featuring commentary from Rylan and Scott Mills.
