Look Mum No Computer has been announced as the UK’s Eurovision 2026 act by the BBC. He will represent the United Kingdom at the contest’s 70th edition, to be held in May in Vienna, Austria. The BBC will reveal the song he will perform at a later date.

Artist Reaction and Announcement

Sam Battle, known by his stage name Look Mum No Computer , said the opportunity was “completely bonkers” and a “wonderful and wild journey”. A longtime Eurovision fan, Battle called it “an absolute honour” to “fly the flag for the UK”. He vowed to bring “every ounce of [his] creativity” to the stage. The artist even joked, “I hope Eurovision is ready to get synthesised!”. BBC entertainment chief Kalpna Patel-Knight praised his selection, calling him a “truly unforgettable artist” with a “bold vision” and “distinctly British wit”.

About Look Mum No Computer (Sam Battle)

Look Mum No Computer is an electronic music artist, experimental singer-songwriter. He is an inventor of unique musical instruments. Battle has toured across the UK and Europe with custom-built synthesizers, showcasing a DIY electronic music style. He has also built a large online following, with 1.4 million combined subscribers on social media and over 85 million video views of his musical inventions. His eccentric creations range from an organ made of Furby toys to a flame-throwing keyboard and even a Star Wars droid orchestra. This innovative approach has made him a notable figure in the experimental music community.

“Modern Gas” is NOT the Eurovision Song.

Eurovision 2026: UK Track Record and Hopes

In recent years, the United Kingdom’s Eurovision results have been mixed. Sam Ryder’s performance in 2022 earned the UK an impressive 2nd place finish, but the following year Mae Muller ended 25th (second-to-last) in 2023. The UK has not won Eurovision since 1997, so fans are eager for a turnaround. Many expect Look Mum No Computer’s imaginative, high-energy performance to give the UK a fresh edge. His use of homemade synthesizers and quirky gadgets could deliver a memorable show in Vienna. UK fans hope that this unconventional UK Eurovision act will captivate the international audience and improve the nation’s Eurovision fortunes.
