Liverpool will soon be welcoming the world for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

Muller will also be embarking on a UK tour this winter, heading to six venues across the UK and Ireland this November.
But before that she’ll be taking to the stage in Liverpool on Saturday night (13th May) in the Grand Final of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest.
As for what fans can expect from her performance, she teased: "You can expect some sass! It's going to be fun and a big party."
