Experimental musician Look Mum No Computer to represent UK at Eurovision 2026 with German-infused song
Sam Battle, known as Look Mum No Computer, will represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna in 2026 with his song 'Eins, Zwei, Drei'. This track features German lyrics and playful references to classic British desserts, all created using his homemade Kosmo synthesizer. Battle, a YouTuber famous for building instruments from Furbies and Game Boys, was selected from five artists during a showcase for the BBC’s Eurovision team, which included Andrew Cartmell and David May. The performance, choreographed by Swedish Fredrik Rydman—who worked with the 2024 winner Nemo—promises a lively mix of catchy hooks and gritty sounds. Despite recent Eurovision struggles, Battle focuses on authenticity and aims to promote unity among European nations amidst recent controversies.
