Eurovision Village schedule and timetable on Friday and Saturday with Fleur East, Conchita Wurst, and the Vengaboys

Celebrations for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest are in full swing in Liverpool.

The contest kicked off on Tuesday night with the first semi-final to determine which acts would make it through to the grand finale. The second semi-final took place last night.

The final will be taking place on Saturday night at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena with 26 countries competing to win the trophy. But those unable to secure themselves tickets to the big event will still be able to celebrate the night thanks to the nearby Eurovision Village, located at Pier Head.
