It's almost time! Conchita Wurst and Spain's sexy contestant Edurne Garcia lead the way at dress rehearsals ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest final
This year's Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place on Saturday evening and the competition, now in its 60th year, is set to be bigger than ever.
Last year's triumphant champion Conchita Wurst led the way at the all-important dress rehearsals for the show in Vienna, Austria, on Friday, taking to the stage to prepare for the grand finale.
The bearded Austrian cross-dresser, who won last year's Eurovision in Copenhagen, Denmark with her song Rise Like a Phoenix, looked sensational as she readied herself for another big show.

A superstar! Conchita Wurst - last year's Eurovision Song Contest winner - graced the stage on Friday evening at Vienna's Wiener Stadhalle arena for the last dress rehearsals ahead of Saturday's final
Wearing a slick black jumpsuit with a cape-style front and a huge billowing golden cape attached to the back, hers will be a show worth watching as she performs her mega-hit once again, a year later.
A change of costume saw her cut a fine figure in a hot pink jumpsuit in a similar style, with a peplum detail on the waistline.
Friday was the last chance for the acts from the countries taking part to prepare themselves for the fight of their lives at the all-singing, all-dancing show.
And this year's Spanish entrant Edurne Garcia is certainly going to get things heated up at the Wiener Stadhalle arena in the Austrian capital, which is the location for all things Eurovison on Saturday evening.

Sexy addition: This year's entrant for Spain is Edurne Garcia, who is no doubt going to get things heated up with her powerful and racy performance of her song Amanecer
Energetic show: The 29-year-old beauty - who has been voted by readers of FHM as the sexiest woman in Spain - got to grips with a topless male backing dancer
She has been dubbed the 'sexiest Eurovision contestant ever', and her rehearsal hinted that the title might just be fitting for the gorgeous blonde, who is hoping to win the title for Spain with her song Amanecer.
With her glossy mane of toulsed blonde hair, flawless bronzed skin and model figure, Edurne has a certain something that will help get her more than just 'nil points'.
The 29-year-old girlfriend of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is guaranteed to have the crowd glued to her racy performance as she belts out the 'heartbreak' anthem.

Wow! Hers isn't just a 'stand up and hit the mic' kind of performance
Stripping off: She took to the stage in a red ensemble, before stripping off to reveal her sparkly, barely-there gold number underneath
The blonde stunner, who has been dating the 24-year-old sportsman since meeting him at a charity gig in 2010, was voted the sexiest woman of the year in Spain by the readers of FHM.
And on Friday she showed off her figure in a dazzling gold gown with plenty of leg on show as she performed her powerful song just 24 hours before the big night.
Hers also appears to be a rather energetic set, as she danced around the stage and at one point was lifted high in the air by a male backing dancer, after stripping herself out of a long red dress to reveal the racy gold number underneath.
The UK will be represented by pop duo Electro Velvet, made up of Alex Larke and Bianca Nicholas, who will perform Still In Love With You.

A funky show: The duo's song is jazzy, funky and has a notable electro musical tilt
The two stars also took to the stage at the dress rehearsal to give one last bash at perfecting their routine for their jazz-style, poptastic number that they hope will finally bring in some much-needed votes for the UK.
The hopefuls from the other finalist countries - including Albania, Lithuania, Serbia, Greece and Sweden - joined them for the dress rehearsals on the eve of the world's favourite musical comptition.
And clearly raring to go was Australian singer Guy Sebastian, who is representing the country as they make their first ever appearance at the Europe-based contest.

He stands a chance: Despite not being a European country, Guy's song Tonight Again could win him the title for this year's contest
Australia is making its debut at Eurovison, invited as a wild card due to its strong fan base, and Guy is one of the bookmakers' favorites.
The singer is touted as being among the top five contestants along with entries from Sweden, Italy, Russia and Estonia.
But all 27 nations contesting the top spot Saturday after surviving the elimination rounds have at least a theoretical chance of walking away the winner.

Delayed TV broadcasts of Eurovision contests have been shown for 30 years in Australia and Eurovision parties are common there. This year it will be shown live in Australia's early morning hours, along with audiences elsewhere.
Organizers expect a television audience of about 200 million to tune in globally to the spectacle taking place in Vienna's sprawling arena, which has been outfitted with the latest stage and light technology for the one-off event.
Huge public viewing screens have also been set up in key locations throughout the city for those brave enough to ignore Saturday's predicted cold and windy showers.
Double act: Norway's Morland & Debrah Scarlett were thrilled to have made it through to the finale, and hopped up on stage on Friday for one last rehearsal of A Monster Like Me

Taking the plunge: Elhaida Dani of Albania donned a racy black full dress as she wet her whistle performing I'm Alive
The winner will be decided by votes weighed equally between those from a jury and those called in by viewers. To eliminate the population advantages of larger nations, viewers cannot cast ballots for their own country.
The annual competition is supposed to be removed from politics, and fittingly, this year's theme is 'Building Bridges.'
The event will be hosted by Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer, with last year's winner - Conchita - taking over the Green Room.
The Eurovision Song Contest will air on BBC One at 8pm on Saturday, narrated by Graham Norton and, for the first time ever, will have TV chef Nigella Lawson reading the results of the vote for the UK.
Going all-out: Serbia's contestant Bojana Stamenov looked ready and raring to go as she belted out Beauty Never Lies
