We’re getting ready for EuroMania in the run up to the Eurovision Song Contest onHits Radio Pride, which is taking place in Liverpool over the next week. Not only is it May, we've all got our fingers crossed for our Mae!
We'll have radio presenters from right across Europe taking over and reflecting their country's dream to be crowned winner of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest. Each show will have an incredible Pride playlist including this year's hopeful winning songs and a stack of legendary Euro-throwbacks.
On Saturday morning, Fleur East, James and Matt will be sending you on an incredible European getaway to a previous Eurovision winning destination, all thanks to our mates at Lidl. Make sure you're listening Saturday morning from 9am to play our new game Fleur East’s European Quiz-ine!

Also on Saturday morning, the team will be joined by some of the biggest names at Eurovision, broadcasting from the top of the legendary Radio City Tower in Liverpool overlooking the city as Europe comes to Liverpool.
They’ll be chatting to our UK 2022 superstar Sam Ryder and our 2023 hopeful Mae Muller plus the team will be taking a tour on the Mersey by Pedalo with the Greek entry Victor Vernicos (yes, really!).
Then, make sure you’re listening all day Sunday, where we'll re-live the action from the night before with all 26 finalists, and of course, celebrate the country that takes the title home with them.
