Everything that took place during the grand final of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest:

  • Dara from Bulgaria was crowned the grand winner of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, held in Vienna. She performed the song Bangaranga and received 516 points.
  • “Bangaranga” was created by an international songwriting team. Alongside Dara herself, the song was co-written by acclaimed Greek composer and producer Dimitris Kontopoulos, award-winning Romanian hitmaker Monoir, and Norwegian songwriter Anne Judith Stokke Wik, known for her successful collaborations in the K-Pop industry.
  • The top five was completed by Israel (which was booed when it temporarily moved into 1st place), Romania, Australia, and Italy.
  • Akylas, performing the song Ferto, received 220 points from juries and the public vote, finishing in 10th place — significantly lower than bookmakers and predictions had expected.
