The UK has entered the Eurovision Song Contest again this year and you might be wondering who will represent the country on the big stage.
Each year, countries across the world enter artists with exciting new songs and performances with the aim of winning the Eurovision trophy.
Look Mum No Computer will represent the UK at the 2026 competition, but who is he and when will he perform? Here’s what we know.
Who is the UK’s 2026 Eurovision act Look Mum No Computer?
Look Mum No Computer is a YouTube star, whose real name is Sam Battle.
Since beginning his YouTube career in 2013, the Lincolnshire-born musician has amassed more than 85 million views and 1.4 million combined subscribers and followers across his various social accounts.
He has become known for his videos about making and playing unusual electronic music equipment, having made an organ out of Furby toys, fused a synthesiser with a Raleigh Chopper bicycle, and made a triple oscillator synthesiser out of Nintendo Game Boy video game consoles.
Battle said he wanted to compete in Eurovision, having had happy memories of watching it with his mother as a child.
He said: “The first memory (of Eurovision) was when I was about five years old with my mum watching it, and I can’t remember any of the performances, but I just remember the feeling of like them all in the green room at the back.
How many of these shocking Eurovision entries do you remember?
“With a bit of smiles, bit of apprehension, just looking at the scores like they were sort of waiting for the flights at Heathrow kind of thing, I thought that was a really nice place, and I thought that would be cool to sit there, like they’re all just looking there, nobody’s really chatting.
“They’re all just sat there together, but focusing on the job at hand, and that’s like a nice social situation for a weirdo like me that can sit there.”
When will Look Mum No Computer perform at Eurovision 2026?
Look Mum No Computer is representing the UK at the contest and performed during Thursday’s semi-final (May 14).
He will also perform at Eurovision's Grand Final on Saturday, May 16.
The artist previously revealed he has built most of the staging himself for his performance, including “mega synthesiser” panels.
