| Om 17 February 2026 the BBC confirmed that the United Kingdom had again selected its act and entry for the Eurovision Song Contest through an internal selection process. Look Mum No Computer was chosen to be the United Kingdom’s 2026 representative following a search led - as in 2025 - by UK Eurovision Project Director and music industry figure, David May and Andrew Cartmell - Executive Producer, BBC Studios North and Head of Delegation for the United Kingdom. The announcement was made on BBC Radio 2’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show. Look Mum No Computer - Kent-based Sam Battle - is described by the BBC as “a multi-talented solo artist, experimental singer/songwriter, live electronics performer and composer, [and] inventor of unique musical machines”. Before focussing on his solo career, Battle was the front man of indie band Zibra, which performed at Glastonbury in 2015. He launched a YouTube channel in 2013, and released his first single - "Groundhog Day" - in 2019. The title of the song destined to be the United Kingdom’s entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 was revealed as “Eins, Zwei, Drei” on BBC Radio 2’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on 2 March 2026 and received its first official play on the same programme on 6 March 2026. The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will take place at the Wiener Stadthalle, Vienna, on Saturday 16 May 2026 with the Semi-Finals taking place on Tuesday 12 and Thursday 14 May 2026. |
