BASEL, Switzerland -- Ukraine’s musicians can’t escape war, even at the Eurovision Song Contest. Rock band Ziferblat were in Basel, Switzerland to represent their country when they learned the home of backing singer Khrystyna Starykova in a frontline region of eastern Ukraine had been destroyed by Russian shelling.

KAJ, a Finnish trio, will represent Sweden in the annual contest with their song, “Bara Bada Bastu,” a catchy ode to sweating out one's stresses.

This year's Eurovision Grand Final will be taking place on Saturday 17 May with millions of people watching in the UK and all over the world. So, we want to know what you and your friends/family are planning to do to mark the occasion?
