Fans of Eurovision who weren’t able to grab a ticket to the grand final are in luck, as the event is being broadcasted live nationally.
The special occasion marks the first time Eurovision has ever been shown live in UK cinemas in 5.1 surround sound.
The move is in a bid to give everyone who missed out on tickets to watch the dazzling competition in an immersive setting and to allow them to come together and be ‘united by music’.
