UK's Look Mum No Computer Rehearses for Eurovision Semi-Final in Vienna
The United Kingdom's Eurovision entrant, Look Mum No Computer (Sam Battle), participated in a dress rehearsal for the second semi-final of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. Performing his song 'Eins, Zwei, Drei,' Battle wore a pink boiler suit and played synthesizers while accompanied by dancers dressed in computer-themed costumes. The rehearsal took place at the Wiener Stadthalle ahead of the live semi-final. Other notable performers included Cyprus’s Antigoni Buxton, who sang 'Jalla' amidst stage flames, and Australia’s Delta Goodrem, who performed 'Eclipse' with a harpist and piano. Host nation Austria was represented by singer Cosmo. The event occurred against a backdrop of controversy, as Israel’s entry, Noam Bettan, faced booing from the audience during the previous semi-final amid protests regarding the conflict in Gaza. Several countries, including Ireland and Spain, boycotted the contest in protest. Despite the mixed reception, Israel qualified for the final alongside nations such as Sweden, Greece, and Moldova. The UK, as one of the 'Big Four' financial contributors, automatically qualifies for the Saturday final.
