Thinla to represent Laos at Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026

The Lao artist was confirmed as the country's representative on Sunday, ahead of the national selection Sieng Lao: The One.

The two-night show will take place on Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 September, but rather than choosing the artist, viewers will now be helping decide which song Thinla takes to Bangkok.

The potential entries will be revealed in the coming days, with fans in Laos and around the world able to have their say.

Formerly known as Thinlamphone, Thinla is a Lao singer whose music combines traditional Morlum with pop, R&B and dance influences.

She has previously toured the United States and represented Laos at the Round Festival in Busan, South Korea. Thinla has also performed at major regional events including the 44th and 45th ASEAN Summits.

Her selection gives Laos an established performer for its first appearance on the Eurovision Asia stage, while Sieng Lao: The One will determine exactly what she performs.

Some familiar faces from Eurovision and Eurovision - Australia Decides will be taking to the stage for The Songs of John Farnham: A Living Legend - The Celebration Concert this month.

The one-night-only concert will celebrate the music and legacy of Australian icon John Farnham, bringing together more than 120 Australian and international artists and musicians at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 20 September.

Among the huge line-up are artists with strong Eurovision connections: Céline Dion, Jessica Mauboy, Vanessa Amorosi, Mitch Tambo, Mark Vincent and Hans.

Eurovision 1988 winner Céline Dion will take part in the concert through a remote performance.

Céline has covered John Farnham's hit You're The Voice during her shows in Australia.

Jessica Mauboy will be well known to Eurovision fans, having represented Australia at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon.

She finished 20th in the Grand Final with her powerful ballad We Got Love and has remained one of Australia's biggest pop stars.

Vanessa Amorosi and Mitch Tambo will also be familiar names to Australia Decides fans.

Both competed at Eurovision – Australia Decides 2020, with Vanessa performing Lessons of Love and Mitch performing Together. Vanessa finished third overall, while Mitch placed fifth.

Mark Vincent from the inaugural Australia Decides in 2019 will also take to the stage.

The concert line-up also includes Hans, who Eurovision fans will remember from his memorable Eurovision medley at Australia Decides 2019 and was most recently a Eurovision jury member for Australia this year.

The celebration takes place at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Sunday 20 September, with the concert beginning at 7pm.

There is still limited ticket availability for those wanting to experience the event live, although fans should move quickly as the concert has been in huge demand.

For fans who can't make it to Melbourne, there's another option.

The concert will be broadcast live into HOYTS cinemas across Australia, giving audiences the chance to experience the celebration on the big screen as it happens.

The annual OGAE Second Chance Contest sees each official fan club select a song that didn't win their national final battle it out in a Eurovision style contest to find the most popular entry that didn't make it to the Contest this year.

The competition has been running since 1987 and Sweden won it last year thanks to Klara Hammarström and her entry On and On and On. It was Norway's fourth title. OGAE Sweden therefore get to host the contest this year.

Australia does not have an entry as we did not host a national final in 2026 and instead internally selected Delta Goodrem.

Thirteen Aussievision team members have gone through all the entries and voted for our favourites in the ususal Eurovision points system.

This is our top 10.

Here are the remaining of our rankings:
11. Bulgaria: Dara – Curse (36 points)
12. Serbia: Zejna – Jugoslavija (28 points)
13. Albania: Sheila – Zemra e tokës (24 points)  14. Estonia: Nöep – Days like this (23 points) 15. Luxembourg: Steve Castile – Sweet tooth (17 points) 16. Spain: Tony Grox and Lucycalys – T amaré (14 points)
17. Greece: Zaf – Astieo (14 points)
18. Portugal: Dinis Mota – Jurei (12 points)

#eurovision #eurovisionasia

Carmelle’s Sobra-Sobra has emerged as one of the fan favourites ahead of the Philippines’ first Eurovision Asia selection, but behind the song is a beautiful queer connection to Australia

One of the song’s writers, Nica del Rosario @nicadelrosario, travelled to Sydney in 2022 to marry her partner Justine Peña.

They did this so they could legally marry in Australia, something they could not do at home in the Philippines.

Nica and Justine tied the knot in Sydney in August 2022, with photos from the ceremony showing the couple overlooking Sydney Harbour.

But while the wedding was a joyful occasion, Justine spoke before the ceremony about the difficult reality that awaited them when they returned home.

“When I sign any legal documents back home, I’ll still have to mark myself as ‘single.’”

Justine described it as a “sad reality”, but said they remained hopeful that one day Philippine law would change.

“For now, we’ll keep fighting by loving freely and openly.”

Six months after their legal wedding in Australia, Nica and Justine celebrated their marriage again in the Philippines.

Around 150 family members and friends attended their February 2023 ceremony in Cavite, including former Philippines vice president Leni Robredo.

Nica has been writing and producing Filipino pop music for more than a decade, including co-writing @justsarahgph Sarah Geronimo’s massive hit Tala.

More recently, Nica has become closely associated with BINI, writing songs including Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi and Karera.

She is also an artist in her own right and became particularly prominent during the 2022 Philippine presidential election through Rosas, associated with Leni Robredo’s campaign.

Nica has also been open about her queer identity, with her relationship with Justine and her music becoming part of her advocacy for LGBTQIA+ equality.

Four years after marrying in Sydney, Nica is one of the writers behind a song that could make another piece of Philippine history.

Alongside Mat Olavides, Nica wrote Carmelle’s Sobra-Sobra, one of the songs competing at Philippine Selection Night.

This Sunday, the Philippines will choose its first Eurovision Asia representative, and viewers outside the country will have a say too.

Australia is home to one of the world’s largest Filipino communities, with deep connections across music, sport, culture and Eurovision itself.

For Aussievision’s own Paul Basilio, that connection is also personal, growing up in Melbourne with both Filipino and Australian heritage.

So who will the Philippines choose? Australia may just help decide. 🇵🇭🇦🇺 #eurovisionasia

Now that Canada has revealed how it will select its artist for Eurovision 2027, we thought it was the perfect time to look at 10 artists we’d love to see represent the country.

Canada has revealed its Eurovision 2027 selection process, with CBC/Radio-Canada first choosing an artist before developing their Eurovision song. Artists can apply from 31 August to 9 September, with a shortlist later put to a public vote and music industry jury.

The winning artist will then work with industry professionals to create Canada’s song and staging for its Eurovision debut in Bulgaria.

A couple of months ago, we asked Eurovision fans on our Instagram and the Aussievision team for their dream picks to represent Canada, and these 10 names stood out as exciting possibilities.

This is, of course, just a wish list, and the eventual Canadian representative could be someone entirely different.
But if these fan suggestions prove anything, it’s that Canada has an incredibly deep pool of talent to choose from.

Whoever earns the honour of becoming the country’s first Eurovision act won’t just be competing for a result - they’ll be making history.

Who would you like to see represent Canada at Eurovision 2027? Let us know your dream pick in the comments.

Following the sad news of Dolly Parton’s passing at the age of 80, we’re looking back at two of her special connections to the Eurovision world.

Dolly recorded Jolene in 2022 with Eurovision 1974 star Olivia Newton-John in what became Olivia’s final studio recording.

Then in 2024, she teamed up with Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin for a very different rock version of the same iconic song.

Two Eurovision generations, connected by one extraordinary artist.

Rest in Peace Dolly Parton.

Ten Aussievision team members have heard all 10 songs and scored them Eurovision-style, from 12 points down to 1. Rankings are made on personal taste, not a prediction on how the songs will place on the night.
