The Eurovision Song Contest 1989 was the 34th edition held on 6 May 1989 at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne, Switzerland following Celine Dion's victory in Dublin the previous year. It was hosted by Lolita Morena and Jacques Deschenaux. An estimated 600 million viewers across Europe watched the contest, also airing in Canada and Japan for the first time. Cyprus returned after a year's absence, and all 21 nations from 1988 returned to compete for the 1989 Grand Prix.
