Television news website, TV Tonight, has revealed that an Australian Eurovision artist announcement maybe sooner than we think.

In their interview with SBS Channel Manager Natalie Edgar, she revealed a lot of the exciting programming news for SBS and SBS Viceland in 2026.

Naturally, the discussion turned to Eurovision, where Natalie noted the return to the Austrian capital for Eurovision 2026.

"We’ve been broadcasting Eurovision for over 40 years. And of course, Australia competed in Eurovision for the very first time in Vienna in 2015 so it feels like a nice kind of circle back to where it all began for us,” she told them.

She gave some hints about the artist, saying not only that they would be announced "very soon" but also sharing a few more details.

“I signed an NDA, but I’ve gotta tell you, it’s really good. I think everyone will be happy.”

TV Tonight raised the topic of Dami Im coming back for another tilt which Natalie responding:

“Look, I think you’ll be surprised pleasantly surprised. Let me say that.”

In mid-December, Dami Im did discuss returning with the Confessions of a Reality Star podcast, saying:

“Now, I don’t know if I want to do it again. I mean, if someone’s like, ‘Dami, please do it again next year,’ I’d be like, oh, I’d have to say yes," she said.

"But at the moment I’m just like, I’m not sure about that. It requires so much energy and focus… and I have two little children. So it’s hard to just be laser-focused on something like Eurovision.”

When does Australia normally announce their artist?

In the last three years of internal announcements, the dates have been:

21 February 2023: Voyager announced for Eurovision 2023

6 March 2024: Electric Fields announced for Eurovision 2024

26 February 2025: Go-Jo announced for Eurovision 2025.

So we may have a few more weeks to go.

Eurovision winner Loreen set to release highly anticipated studio album WILDFIRE on 27 March 2026!

Taken from Loreen's online store:

"WILDFIRE is the long-awaited new studio album from Loreen, set for release on 27th March. Marking her first full studio album in nearly a decade, WILDFIRE is a powerful and intimate body of work that explores emotion, perception and inner transformation, a record that allows the full emotional spectrum to exist, from vulnerability and pain to freedom, love and truth.

The album features the global phenomenon “Tattoo”, alongside fan-favorite “Is It Love” and the transcendent new single “Feels Like Heaven”, co-written with Sia. Together, the tracks reflect Loreen’s unique ability to fuse raw emotional honesty with cinematic pop, creating music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Loreen is the only female artist to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice and has amassed over 9 billion streams worldwide. “Tattoo” topped radio airplay and singles charts in five countries, further cementing her status as one of the most distinctive and influential voices in modern pop. With WILDFIRE, Loreen returns with an album that is fearless, expansive and profoundly human."

Moldova: @satoshicahul wins Selecția Națională 2026!!!

Satoshi gained 12 points from the Moldovan jury, international jury and public televote, a full clean sweep!

In a red-hot edition of Moldovan national final Selecția națională Satoshi proved victorious, earning his spot at Eurovision 2026 with the song Viva, Moldova!

Vlad Sabajuc known by his stage name Satoshi is a 27-year-old singer-songwriter hailing from Cahul, Moldova. He's been steadily gaining momentum across Moldova and Romania, collaborating with the likes of Irina Rimes, Carla's Dreams and Guess Who - staples of the local music industry.

Viva, Moldova! is an ode to his home country and is packed with references to local culture, music and people underneath the otherwise simple pop veneer. The entry received the largest in-house crowd response and stood out for its energetic but well-executed staging with the best hook of the night.

This year's edition of Selecția Națională saw a dramatic-increase in song quality, staging and visual design following their withdrawal in 2025. Fans were also delighted to see Eurovision royalty Jamala, Paula Seling and Natalia Gordienko grace the stage as performers but also as jurors.

Overnight, Australian time, it was announced that Junior Eurovision 2008 winners Bzikebi will represent Georgia at Eurovision 2026.

The trio, who were each just 10 years old when they won Junior Eurovision for their country in 2008, have been selected by broadcaster GPB to represent Georgia at Vienna 2026.

The song that they'll compete with in May will be released at a later date.

The group, made up of Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Tatulashvili and Mariam Kikuashvili, found themselves back in the spotlight at Junior Eurovision 2025.

Held in Tbilisi after Georgia's fourth victory in 2024, the OG champs were reunited to perform as one of the interval acts. And their performance of new song We Don't Sleep caused quite the 'buzzzz' online, with many Song Contest sleuths wondering if this was a sign that the band might finally be making a much-anticipated transition to the Eurovision Song Contest.

One of the most memorable Junior Eurovision winners throughout the Contest's 23-year history, Bzikebi made a lasting impression thanks to their catchy bee-themed bop Bzz.., which they performed in a made-up language while buzzing around the stage in their shiny black and yellow outfits!

Following their win in Limassol, Cyprus, the group returned to Georgia and released their album Zabuzei, which was a hit with youngsters across the nation.

This isn't the first time Georgia has sent a Junior Eurovision winner to the Eurovision Song Contest!

Back at Liverpool 2023, the country was represented by Iru, who had brought Georgia its second Junior win in 2011 as a member of the girl group Candy.

The latest episode of the Aussievision podcast is out. We run through the semi-final draw and look ahead to the national finals in Moldova and Malta, including some of the top chances. Listen via Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts!

After a three-year non-qualification streak, Malta made a triumphant return to the Eurovision Song Contest final in Basel last year, with Miriana Conte and her fan-favourite Eurovision entry Serving.

Now, aiming to qualify for the Eurovision Grand Final for the second year in a row, Maltese broadcaster TVM has unveiled the eighteen songs competing in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) 2026, all hoping to become the country’s next Eurovision representative in Vienna.

Twelve members of the Aussievision team have listened to all eighteen entries and scored them Eurovision-style, from 12 points down to 1.

This is our top 10. Check out the article on our website for comments from the team.

The semi-final of MESC 2026 is being held on Thursday 15 January 2026 (Friday morning for Australia), where 12 songs will qualify to the MESC 2026 final from 18 semi-finalists.

The final of MESC 2026 is being held on Saturday 17 January 2026 (Sunday morning for Australia) at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta' Qali, where the winner will be decided by a 50/50 split of jury and public votes.
