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.

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.

It’s Valentine’s Day but where is the love in Eurovision? Since 2021 there has only been four entries with love (or related) in the song title. This compares to a high of 24 between 2011 and 2015.

During the day in Europe — and overnight here in Australia — news broke that the first-ever Eurovision live tour concerts have been “postponed”, with all currently scheduled dates now cancelled.

The Eurovision live tour had been planned as a major celebration of the Contest’s 70th anniversary, set to travel to ten cities across Europe. The arena shows promised to unite some of the most beloved performers in Eurovision history, alongside a selection of stars from the 2026 contest.

Seven Eurovision icons had initially been confirmed for the tour, representing winners, cult heroes and fan favourites from across the decades.

The first artists announced included Johnny Logan, Helena Paparizou, Katrina Leskanich, Lordi, Verka Serduchka, Alessandra, and Australia’s own Guy Sebastian.

Martin Green, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, released a statement regarding the news:

“We regret to announce that we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour 2026.

We have encountered unforeseen challenges that despite the best efforts of our team, the producers, and promoters we have been unable to resolve.

To the thousands of fans who bought tickets, thank you, we will ensure you will be refunded in full as soon as possible.

We look forward to relaunching the Live Tour when we can ensure the world class experience that our fans expect.

Our focus remains on delivering an incredible Eurovision Song Contest in May.

The 70th anniversary shows will be celebrated with 35 amazing artists performing to record sell-out audiences in Vienna and hundreds of millions watching around the world.”

Australia's Liberal Party is facing a leadership vote tomorrow.

This got us at Aussievision thinking - what connections do Liberal leaders and deputy leaders have with Eurovision?

The answer - surprisingly, there are a few! Sadly, though neither Angus Taylor nor Sussan Ley seem to have connections, 1970s punk rock doesn't seem to be a common genre at Eurovision.

However, several other Liberal Party leaders and deputies have connections to Eurovision.

Tony Abbott, Australia's 28th Prime Minister, who led the Liberal Party from 2009 to 2015, made remarks in solidarity with Ukraine's Eurovision win in 2016.

In an interview with Sky News just after Eurovision 2016, Mr Abbott was asked for his thoughts on Australia's Dami Im finishing second to Ukraine's Jamala.

Mr Abbott stated, "I have a lot of goodwill for the Ukraine, I think ... Ukraine has suffered a lot over the last couple of decades and I think they're currently suffering at the hands of a bully ... So if [winning Eurovision] helps their morale I think [Australia] should be prepared to accept second place."

Malcolm Turnbull, who deposed Mr Abbott as both Prime Minister and Liberal leader in September 2015, also commented on Eurovision 2016.

From his official Twitter account, Mr Turnbull congratulated both Dami and Jamala on their Eurovision success.

He wrote: "Congrats [Dami] on winning the jury vote in the [Eurovision] final and to [Jamala] for winning the contest."

Julie Bishop, who served as Liberal deputy leader from 2007 to 2018, has several Eurovision connections.

In 2015, as Foreign Minister, she tweeted "Exciting news! [Australia] to compete on global stage [Eurovision] 2015."

Three years later she went further posting a video on Twitter in support of Jessica Mauboy representing Australia at Eurovision 2018.

In 2018, Ms Bishop also met Malta's Eurovision entrant that year Christabelle, when the latter performed her Eurovision entry Taboo at British Parliament.
