British electronic musician and YouTube personality Look Mum No Computer, real name Sam Battle, has been announced as the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. The Kent-based artist, known for his inventive synthesiser-driven music and quirky online presence, was revealed on BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills Breakfast Show on Tuesday, February 17.
Scott Mills described the upcoming song as a blend of influences including Basshunter, Blur, Pet Shop Boys, and the Human League, calling it 'very British' and noting a 'massive sing-along moment'. The track is yet to be released, with a premiere date to be confirmed.
Battle expressed his excitement, saying: 'I find it completely bonkers to be jumping on this wonderful and wild journey. I have always been a massive Eurovision fan... getting to join that legacy and fly the flag for the UK is an absolute honour.' He previously fronted indie-rock band ZIBRA, performing at Glastonbury in 2015, before pursuing a solo career focused on electronic music.
The selection process was overseen by UK Eurovision project director David May and BBC Studios North executive producer Andrew Cartmell. The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will take place in Vienna on Saturday, May 16, and will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
