Look Mum No Computer Selected as UK Representative for Eurovision 2026

Electronic music artist and inventor Sam Battle, known by his stage name Look Mum No Computer, has been selected to represent the United Kingdom at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. Battle, who began his music career in 2014 as the frontman of the indie rock band Zibra and performed at Glastonbury in 2015, has since developed a reputation as a solo artist and creator of unique musical instruments. Expressing excitement about his new role, he described it as an honor and a dream come true, having been a long-time fan of Eurovision and its celebration of musical diversity. The song he will perform has not yet been publicly revealed, but BBC Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills described it as a blend of various iconic styles, combining elements reminiscent of Basshunter, Blur, Pet Shop Boys, The Human League, and even a touch of punk and theatrical influences, creating a distinctive anthem for the contest. This approach represents a departure from the UK’s historically safer and more conventional Eurovision entries, signaling a bold attempt to bring innovation and excitement to the competition. Look Mum No Computer’s participation reflects both the UK’s desire to experiment musically and Battle’s unique creative vision.
