Eurovision Finale Under Boycott Shadow: Vienna’s Eurovision 2026 grand final is tonight, but the glitter comes with protests—five broadcasters (Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland, Slovenia) are boycotting over Israel’s participation amid the Gaza war. UK’s Longshot Spotlight: The UK’s entry, experimental YouTuber Look Mum No Computer (Sam Battle), is performing after being widely dismissed by odds, while Graham Norton says his retirement from hosting depends on whether he can “hold” through the gruelling broadcast. Nordic Momentum: Finland’s Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen are the betting frontrunners, with Greece and Cyprus also pushing hard in the final running order. Helsinki Watch: A separate emergency drone scare in Uusimaa has been lifted, with authorities saying no drones entered Finland. Ice Hockey Buzz: Switzerland kicked off the worlds by beating defending champion USA 3-1, while Finland opened with a 3-1 win over Germany.
