The band were victorious with their song ‘Stefania’ in last year’s Eurovision Song Contest, which was held in Italy.

They are due to return to this year’s event which is due to take place at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool from May 9-13. Mae Muller is representing the United Kingdom with ‘I Wrote A Song’, which the singer recently performed live for the first time.

Tickets to attend the Eurovision Grand Final in person sold out in just 36 minutes. Organisers later said demand was “super high”, but encouraged unlucky fans to take part in the many “Eurovision activities and parties around Liverpool” on the night.

The UK is staging this year’s Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine following Kalush Orchestra’s victory in 2022. An extra 3,000 tickets are set to be made available for displaced Ukrainians living in the United Kingdom.
