UK’s Look Mum No Computer Readies DIY ‘Eins, Zwei, Drei’ Staging for Eurovision

DIY spectacle paired with a German hook signals a risk-taking UK strategy.

Overview

  • Sam Battle, performing as Look Mum No Computer, will represent the UK in Vienna with Eins, Zwei, Drei after finalising a self-built stage of oversized synth panels and custom electronics.
  • Rehearsal clips show dancers in green with furry TV heads, and the European Broadcasting Union called the staging a supersized version of the song’s eccentric music video.
  • Battle said he chose German counting because years spent working and playing shows in Germany inspired the track, addressing debate over the foreign-language chorus.
  • He said he wants viewers to feel happiness, curiosity, and wonderment, as he juggles Eurovision prep with life as a new dad.
  • Vienna hosts the contest’s 70th edition this week with live BBC coverage, and choreographer Fredrik Rydman is shaping the UK performance.
