Eurovision Song Contest 1960

The Eurovision Song Contest 1960 was the fifth Eurovision and was held on March 25, 1960 in the United Kingdom. With Katie Boyle as the presenter, the contest was won by Jacqueline Boyer who represented France, with her song "Tom Piilibi".

Even tough the Netherlands had won the contest in 1959, they decided that hosting the event twice in a short space of time was not a good idea so handed the honour to the United Kingdom to host the event.

Interval Act

There was no interval act in 1960.
