The second half of the artists performed this morning during the five hour show - here are the provisional Top 5 results consisting of radio jury (50%) and televoting (50%) from this evening.

Top 5 Results:

Sayf – Tu Mi Piaci Tanto
Serena Brancale – Qui Con Me

Newcomers’ Final

The winner was Nicolò Filippucci with the entry Laguna. Runner-up was Angelica Bove with Mattone.

The newcomer final is a pretty good indicator for upcoming Italian talent, so I expect we will see more from Nicolò Filippucci very soon!

The date for the Australian Eurovision artist and song announcement has been revealed as Monday 2 March (Australian time).

We've waited long enough and we now have a date!

Australia's Eurovision artist will be announced at 5:00am Monday 2 March, Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time.

This will be Sunday 1 March at 19:00 CET for our European friends.

This approach isn't out of the blue, it is consistent with the approach in recent years of an early morning announcement.

Although the timing is early for Aussies, it's prime time for the European audience (and voters).

Additionally, it plays into the predictable news cycle of Australian media, particularly TV.

Our artists have regularly appeared on our biggest morning TV shows over the years, with that coverage continuing into our prime time news coverage.

We will have to wait until Monday, Australian time, to see who the artist is and what the song is, despite many rumours.

This weekend, Germany will select their home entry for Eurovision 2026, and an Australian Eurovision songwriter is in the running.

@louisschoorl, a Dutch-born Australian songwriter and producer, co-wrote the song When I'm with you which is in the running to represent Germany this year.

Louis has worked with many huge Aussie acts from 5 Seconds of Summer, Jessica Mauboy, Dami Im, Guy Sebastian and Delta Goodrem, just to name a few.

He has also co-written two Eurovision entries.

The German national final Das deutsche Finale 2026 takes place Saturday night (Sunday morning for Australia), where the winner will be decided by a 100% televote in a Superfinal of three entries, which are selected from 100% jury.

Louis co-wrote the song When I'm with you, for the artist Malous Lovis, along with Malou and Chelcee Grimes.

The song was produced in France, which he also co-produced with Chelcee.

Louis' Eurovision journey began in 2015, when he contributed to Tonight Again, Australia’s first competitive Eurovision entry, performed by Guy Sebastian in Vienna.

The song went on to finish an impressive fifth place, marking a strong debut for Australia on the Eurovision stage.

A few years later Louis would go on to co-write his second Eurovision song this time for Sweden.

Back in 2018 Louis co-wrote Benjamin Ingrosso's Eurovision entry, Dance You Off.

The song finished in 7th place at the Eurovision Grand Final in Lisbon.

Eurovision - Australia Decides entries

Louis later returned to the Eurovision spotlight as a co-writer of Can We Make Heaven by Diana Rouvas, selected for Eurovision – Australia Decides 2020.

Diana ultimately placed seventh in the national final.

Two years later, he once again made his mark, co-writing Little Fires with Jaguar Jonze and PJ Harding for Australia Decides 2022.

Jaguar Jonze’s fiery performance earned her the jury win on the Gold Coast and a third-place finish overall.

The 2026 Winter Olympics came to a close this morning (Australian time) with the Closing Ceremony held at the iconic Arena di Verona.

The Opening Ceremony had already featured a Eurovision classic sung by Mariah Carey, Eurovision host Laura Pausini performing the national anthem, and Sanremo star Ghali appeared.

The Closing Ceremony was no doubt going to feature some link to Eurovision.

Italian DJ and producer Gabry Ponte, who represented San Marino, got the party started at Verona Arena.

Gabry, who took San Marino to the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final with Tutta l'Italia, performed the 1999 hit Blue (Da Ba Dee).

It was part of a special tribute to the volunteers of the Milano-Cortina Games.

Before his Eurovision days, Gabry was best known for being a founding member of the Eurodance group Eiffel 65, the act behind the song.

After departing Eiffel 65 in the mid-2000s, Ponte launched a successful solo career, producing high-energy EDM tracks and collaborating with international artists across Europe.

He went on to have countless hits in Italy and across Europe.

Italian megastar and Eurovision 2022 artist Achille Lauro also took to the Verona Arena.

He performed his Sanremo 2025 song Incoscienti Giovani.

Achille Lauro has competed multiple times at the Sanremo Music Festival, including with Rolls Royce (2019), Me ne frego (2020), Domenica (2022) and Incoscienti giovani (2025). Several of his singles have reached the top five of the Italian charts, and his 2021 album Lauro debuted at No.1 in Italy.

In 2022, he represented San Marino at the Eurovision Song Contest with Stripper after winning Una Voce per San Marino.

He competed in the second semi-final in Turin but didn't qualify for the final.

The 2026 Winter Olympics came to a close this morning (Australian time) with the Closing Ceremony held at the iconic Arena di Verona.

The Opening Ceremony had already featured a Eurovision classic sung by Mariah Carey, Eurovision host Laura Pausini performing the national anthem, and Sanremo star Ghali appeared.

The Closing Ceremony was no doubt going to feature some link to Eurovision.

Italian DJ and producer Gabry Ponte, who represented San Marino, got the party started at Verona Arena.

Gabry, who took San Marino to the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final with Tutta l'Italia, performed the 1999 hit Blue (Da Ba Dee).

It was part of a special tribute to the volunteers of the Milano-Cortina Games.

Before his Eurovision days, Gabry was best known for being a founding member of the Eurodance group Eiffel 65, the act behind the song.

After departing Eiffel 65 in the mid-2000s, Ponte launched a successful solo career, producing high-energy EDM tracks and collaborating with international artists across Europe.

He went on to have countless hits in Italy and across Europe.

Italian megastar and Eurovision 2022 artist Achille Lauro also took to the Verona Arena.

He performed his Sanremo 2025 song Incoscienti Giovani.

Achille Lauro has competed multiple times at the Sanremo Music Festival, including with Rolls Royce (2019), Me ne frego (2020), Domenica (2022) and Incoscienti giovani (2025). Several of his singles have reached the top five of the Italian charts, and his 2021 album Lauro debuted at No.1 in Italy.

Australian magazine Woman’s Day has made unconfirmed reports that Delta Goodrem will compete at Eurovision in Vienna.

The 23 February edition of Woman’s Day (already out in stores) is reporting that Delta Goodrem will be announced as Australia’s representative for Eurovision 2026.

Under the headline “Delta’s Heading to Eurovision!”, the magazine writes that “insiders reveal that the songbird, 41, will be announced as Australia’s big hope in the coming weeks, jetting off to Vienna, Austria, in May to represent her country for the 70th anniversary of the show.”

The publication adds that a source said: “Delta sees it as the perfect way to break into the coveted European market and has been telling friends she’s really excited to represent Australia.

It also claims Delta “has been secretly working on her routine and ‘already has ideas of what direction her performance would take’.”

Delta has long been rumoured as a potential Eurovision contender.

She topped our fan survey for the second straight year as the artist readers most want to see represent Australia.

Dami Im also endorsed Delta for Australia when she recently ruled herself out of competing.

She is scheduled to perform in Fiji from 20–26 April 2026, leaving time to travel to Vienna for rehearsals in early May if selected.

At this stage, neither SBS nor Delta has officially confirmed the report.

As always with pre-selection speculation, until an announcement is made, it remains speculation.

We’ve compiled an updated list of who could and who won’t be representing Australia at Eurovision 2026.

With the announcement of who will be representing Australia at Eurovision 2026 expected any day now, we run through an extensive list of artists who we think are possible contenders based on suggestions from fans.

Back in June last year we came up with a top 10 list of Aussie artists who fans want to see represent Australia.

More recently we asked our followers who they would have on top of their wish list.

Based on those suggestions, we run through all the artists based on availability and past expressions of interest and also list artists who we believe are unlikely to be available in May 2026 due to touring and other commitments.

Cosmó will represent Austria at Eurovision 2026 after winning the host country's national selection Vienna Calling - Wer singt für Österreich?

The youngest contestant in the Austrian national selection, Cosmó performed the song Tanzchein.

The show was hosted by Alice Tumler and Cesár Sampson who hosted Eurovision 2015 and represented Austria at Eurovision 2018 respectively. Incumbent Eurovision winner JJ was in attendance and performed his latest single Shapeshifter as the interval act.

12 acts competed for the title, including Julia by Julia Steen which was co-written by Australian singer-songwriter Danielle Lamb.

After each acts performed they were provided feedback by a three person panel. Initially this panel was due to be made up of Austrian actress Caroline Athanasiadis, German comedian Elton and 2019 Swiss Eurovision entrant Luca Hänni. However Elton and Luca were unable to make it to Vienna due to extreme snow conditions. They were replaced by Eric Papilaya, who represented Austria at Eurovision 2007, and JJ.

The result was decided 50% by a 44 person jury and 50% by televote. Notable members of the jury included Jamala, who won Eurovision 2016, and Michael Schulte who represented Germany at Eurovision in 2018.

First the results of the jury were announced. The jury awarded:

1 point to Philip Piller - Das Leben ist Kunst
2 points to Anna-Sophie - Superhuman
3 points to Reverend Stomp - Mescalero Ranger
4 points to Bamlak Werner - We Are Not Just One Thing
5 points to Frevd - Riddle
6 points to Julia Steen - Julia
7 points to Nikotin - Unsterblich
8 points to Kayla Krystin - I brenn
10 points to Cosmó - Tanzchein
12 points to Lena Schaur - Painted Reality

Sidrit Voskhi and David Kurt received 0 points from the jury.

The top three acts of the combined jury and televote were then announced in a random order. They were:

Cosmó - Tanzchein
Lena Schaur - Painted Reality
Bamlak Werner - We Are Not Just One Thing

Austria as the host country automatically qualifies to the Eurovision Grand Final which will be held on May 16.

Belgian broadcaster RTBF has this evening announced that Essyla will be their representative at Eurovision 2026, where she will perform the song Dancing on the Ice.

Essyla is the stage name of Alice Van Eesbeeck, a 29-year-old singer-songwriter hailing from Perwez in Belgium's Wallonia region. The name "Essyla" was formed by reversing the syllables of her first name in real life, "Alice".

Like many Eurovision contestants, Essyla came to prominence in her native Belgium on The Voice Belgique, where she participated on Season 9 of the long-running talent show. Coached by Typh Barrow, Essyla (then performing under her real name) made it all the way to the grand final, where she ultimately finished as runner-up to Eurovision 2022 contestant Jérémie Makiese.

In the years since The Voice, she has released a number of singles exploring a wide variety of musical genres, including jazz, rock, folk and funk. Female empowerment is a recurring theme in Essyla's work, as she explores how a young woman can come into her own power in the modern age.

Australia’s 2025 Eurovision entry has secured a spot on Spotify’s latest Australian Music Global Impact List, marking another milestone for local music on the world stage.

Expanded to a Top 50 for the first time, Spotify’s 2025 Australian Music Global Impact ranking highlights the homegrown tracks making the biggest waves beyond Australia’s borders.

@heyimgojo’s Milkshake Man landed at No. 48, placing him alongside international heavyweights such as Sia, Tones and I, The Kid Laroi, 5 Seconds of Summer and Tame Impala.

While Milkshake Man narrowly missed out on a place in the Eurovision Grand Final — finishing 11th, just 10 points shy of qualification — the track quickly found momentum on streaming platforms.

In May 2025, the song surged onto Spotify’s Viral Songs and Daily Top Songs charts, with Milkshake Man charting in 33 countries across Europe and even in neighbouring non-Eurovision nation New Zealand.

As of February 2026, Milkshake Man has amassed more than 14 million streams, making it Go-Jo’s second most-streamed track on Spotify.

With numbers like that, his inclusion on Spotify’s Global Impact List feels less like a surprise — and more like confirmation.
