The internet is full of Eurovision sites. Many of them are doing the exact same thing at the exact same time, often with the exact same press release and a slightly different headline. Still, there are a few worth your clicks. Here are some of the better places to waste a perfectly decent afternoon.
Diggiloo Thrush – https://www.diggiloo.net/
No longer updating, but still an absolute treasure chest for lyrics, translations and Eurovision trivia. If you want to know what somebody was actually singing about in 1978, this is still your friend.
Eurovision Apocalypse – https://eurovisionapocalypse.blogspot.com/
Roy D Hacksaw remains gloriously weird, gloriously rude and gloriously himself. Not for those seeking balance, restraint or inner peace.
ESC Buzz – https://escbuzz.com/
A handy Eurovision news aggregator pulling headlines from across the fan media universe. Useful when you want the big picture without opening twelve tabs and immediately regretting it.
ESC Go! – https://www.escgo.com/
Part news site, part chat haunt, part long-running Eurovision corner of the internet. Still going, still chatting, still full of people who have opinions about things from 1993.
Eurovision Ireland – https://eurovisionireland.net/
Busy, friendly and still updated at a frightening rate. Strong on fan community, interviews, previews and all the surrounding chaos.
Eurovision World – https://eurovisionworld.com/
A very useful one-stop shop for odds, calendars, songs, results and all the useful practical bits. If you just want facts, schedules and numbers, this is one of the best in the game.
ESCToday – https://esctoday.com/
One of the old guard and still very much alive. It has had more reinventions than some former contestants, but it remains a solid source for news and contest updates.
Eurovision.com – https://www.eurovision.com/
The official site. Essential for rules, line-ups, tickets, press info and the stuff everyone else is reacting to five minutes later. Not exactly spicy, but that is not really the brief.
Eurovoix – https://eurovoix.com/
Fast, comprehensive and permanently caffeinated. If you need to know everything that has happened, might happen or has been rumoured by a broadcaster’s second cousin, they are usually on it.
ESCXTRA – https://escxtra.com/
A long-standing fan site with news, features, live event coverage and enough enthusiasm to power a medium-sized nation.
ESC Insight – https://escinsight.com/
Less frantic headline-chasing, more proper commentary, features and podcasts. Good when you want someone to stand back, think for a second and then say something interesting.
ESCplus – https://www.esc-plus.com/
A slick, busy site with daily coverage, interviews, galleries and one of the handier Eurovision calendars around. Worth bookmarking if you like your fan media with a bit of polish.
Reddit Eurovision – https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/
A surprisingly useful hive mind. Yes, it is still Reddit, so brace yourself accordingly, but for fast-moving developments, fan reaction and obscure detail, it is often ahead of the pack.
Wiwibloggs on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/wiwibloggs
The Wiwibloggs website itself appears to have shuffled off, but the brand is still active on YouTube and socials. If you want interviews, reactions and plenty of on-the-ground fan content, this is now the better link to use.
Official Eurovision YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/EurovisionSongContest
You will need this sooner or later. Full performances, official uploads, backstage bits and a lot of very shiny thumbnails.
My Eurovision Scoreboard – https://www.myeurovisionscoreboard.com/
Not a news site, but still one of the handiest fan tools around if you enjoy ranking songs, comparing lists and proving to strangers that your taste is impeccable.
And yes, there are many others. Some are excellent. Some are chaotic. Some appear to have been built in 2004 and never emotionally recovered. Such is the Eurovision internet.
