The final line-up for Britain’s Got Talent 2026 has been officially confirmed following an electrifying conclusion to the semi-final rounds. Tonight’s (May 23) semi-final featured a dramatic Golden Buzzer moment that sealed the last spot in the much-anticipated live final.
In a rare unanimous decision, the judging panel awarded the coveted Golden Buzzer to Somerset-based drone artists Celestial. Their spellbinding performance lit up the night sky above Greenwich Park and the Thames, showcasing an awe-inspiring display of glowing drones that formed magnificent shapes—an enormous dragon, elephant, and dolphin. The judges described the act as “breathtaking,” making the choice to send Celestial straight to the final an easy one.
Alongside Celestial, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir also clinched a place in the final after winning the public vote. Originally formed to promote Jeremy Clarkson’s beer brand, the choir captivated audiences with their stirring rendition of Bastille’s “Pompeii,” earning a standing ovation.
