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."

Released in exclusive vinyl and CD formats.

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.

Last month, Eurovision royalty @damiim spoke to the @confessionsofarealitystar Podcast reflecting on her journey from The X Factor to the Eurovision stage.

During the chat, Dami opened up about her time at the Contest, her thoughts on a potential return, and revealed an exciting collaboration planned to mark the 10th anniversary of her iconic Eurovision entry, Sound of Silence.

When asked how she plans to celebrate a decade since representing Australia at Eurovision, Dami shared the big news:

“10 years next year. That I find hard to believe, but 10 years on next year. I am releasing — I am working on a collaboration with Electric Fields to do a new version of Sound of Silence. I am so excited about this. This is going to be so cool. It’s so fun. It’s been the best.”
She went on to explain why Electric Fields were the perfect fit for the re-release:

“They’ve got their own such unique sound and flavour. To have Sound of Silence injected with what they’ve got… will make it so special.”

Earlier this week, Dami also teased “big things” to come during a Q&A on her social media, confirming that celebrations for the song’s milestone anniversary were well underway.

The collaboration with @electricfields_music now forms a key part of what she has planned for fans.

During the podcast, Dami also revealed thoughts about Eurovision she had never publicly shared before, particularly around the idea of returning to the Contest.

American superstar Madonna has covered a classic song from an Italian artist competing in this year's Sanremo Music Festival.

Madonna released the cover of the song La bambola as part of a campaign with Dolce and Gabbana.

The song (which translates to 'The Doll') was originally performed by Patty Pravo in 1968. It went No.1 in Italy and charted across Europe and South America.

This saw her become a legend on the Italian music scene, making her debut at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1970 finishing 5th.

She has since competed a total of 10 times, with her 11th appearance to be at this year's Festival.

The winner of Sanremo has first pick to represent the nation at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Patty last competed in 2019, finishing 21st, but did place 6th in 2016, her best result since her debut.

With Madonna's cover and Patty's entry into Sanremo this year, many are suggesting we could see the American as a guest act at the Festival.

Madonna (in)famously sang at the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, while many other famous artists such as Whitney Houston, One Direction, Queen, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue have appeared at Sanremo.

It's the electronic duo's first live performance for 2026, and they'll be joined by Punjabi soul and jazz artist Parvyn and local DJ Lyndelle Wilkinson.

Sunset Sounds is a long-running free and all-ages event in the City of Stonnington in Melbourne's inner east and gives visitors a chance to enjoy a picnic and dance the afternoon away in an idyllic parklands setting.

Electric Fields were runners-up in the inaugural edition of SBS' former Eurovision selection contest Australia Decides in 2019, nudged out by Kate Miller-Heidke.

SBS then picked them to be our representative at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden with their song One Mikali (One Blood). They finished 11th in semi-final one, narrowly missing qualification for the grand final by six points.

Meanwhile, @mitchtambo, who competed in the 2020 edition of Australia Decides, is headlining Glen Eira City Council's outdoor event Under The Stars at Packer Park, Carnegie on Saturday 21 February.

Tambo finished fifth with his song Together in the 2020 contest, which was won by Montaigne.

A proud Gamilaraay man, he's since become known for his covers of major Australian hits in language, including John Farnham's You're The Voice and Icehouse's Great Southern Land.

The world music star will be performing alongside Central Coast-based female indie folk trio Little Quirks, and like Sunset Sounds, fans can come along with a picnic or grab some snacks from the food trucks on site.

Overnight the Icelandic broadcaster RÚV has cancelled Söngvakeppnin 2026.

As reported by RÚV:

RÚV will not be holding a traditional singing competition this year. This is according to RÚV's program director. It has not been decided what will replace it.

"There will be no traditional singing competition. It is clear and was actually planned in December and what will replace it is under consideration," says Eva Georgs. Ásudóttir, RÚV's program director.

"We will do our best to offer a good program instead of the singing competition," she adds.

"It is clear that the song contest in the format that has existed since we participated in Eurovision will not be held. The prerequisites for a traditional song contest are broken by our not participating in Eurovision, what will be done next has not been decided," she adds.

Eurovision royalty @damiim took to her Instagram where she held a Q&A chat answering questions from fans about Eurovision, upcoming tours and more.

One of the big questions Dami got asked was whether she would compete at Eurovision again. She responded:

"I get asked this a lot. I have tried to compete again, things happened, a lot of things happened and it didn't work out. Next year is 10 years anniversary of Sound of Silence so big things are coming, big things are coming! Not next year this year!!"

In 2016 Dami achieved Australia's best result ever at Eurovision with Sound of Silence where she won the jury vote and finished overall as the runner-up behind Jamala from Ukraine.

At Eurovision - Australia Decides 2020 Dami Im made a huge announcement on stage, after performing a duet with Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw, that she will be competing in next year's Australian national final where she would get to compete with the chance of representing Australia at Eurovision.

Unfortunately that didn't eventuate due to the Covid-pandemic which lead to the Eurovision Song Contest being cancelled for the first time in it's history and then Australia Decides not being held the following year.

Even though Dami didn’t directly answer the question of whether she is returning to Eurovision anytime soon, it does sound like she has something big in store for the 10th anniversary of Sound of Silence. We will have to wait and see…

Dami also confirmed that she will be performing in Amsterdam for Het Grote Songfestivalfeest 2026 held in the Netherlands.

Asked whether she had a European tour planned, she said:

"I am playing in Amsterdam on November 13th this year, which is very exciting. I am planning on adding some more European dates around then. So, let me know which city you would like me to play in."

Dami will officially be the third Aussie Eurovision representative to perform at the annual event after Guy Sebastian performed in Amsterdam in 2024 and Sheldon Riley in 2023.

During the Q&A Dami also revealed that she has a new jazz-inspired single set for release in two weeks called Sight of You.
