Eurovision Shockwave: Bulgaria’s Dara wins Eurovision 2026 with “Bangaranga” after a week of protests and a five-nation boycott, while the UK’s Look Mum No Computer finishes bottom with “nul points” — a result that’s already sparked fresh debate about voting, staging, and the contest’s handling of politics. Live Music Funding Push: Britain’s LIVE Music Venue Trust model is echoed in Australia, where NSW groups back a proposed $1 ticket levy for major venues to support struggling grassroots scenes. Loss in the Spotlight: Dr Hook frontman Dennis Locorriere dies at 76 after kidney disease, leaving hits like “Sylvia’s Mother” and “A Little Bit More” as his legacy. Local Culture, Big Feel: In Scotland, Celtic v Hearts saw disorder after the final whistle, with police reporting arrests and injuries as the SPFL condemned a pitch invasion. On Stage This Week: Brass and Irish traditional shows land in the UK, from film-theme brass at St Mary’s to The Irish House Party at The Haymarket.
