You don't have to be in Europe to watch the extravagant performances at Eurovision 2016. The 61st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will be held at the Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. Petra Mede and Måns Zelmerlöw will host the musical evening where 26 singers from their respective European countries will compete to win the trophy — a classic microphone made of solid glass.

After two rounds of the semi-finals, 26 songs made their way to the final where the singer will try to impress fans from around 42 tele-voting countries. Fifty percent of the fate of these singers has already been sealed by the professional jury during the dress rehearsal held on 13 May.
