The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are about to begin and Eurovision and Sanremo stars have already been part of the action.

From late November the Olympic torch made its way from Greece to Italy in early December.

Carrying the flame in various locations across Italy have been many familiar names to Eurovision and Sanremo fans.

Achille Lauro

The Italian singer represented San Marino at Eurovision with Stripper.

He has also competed at Sanremo four times, with his best place being 7th in 2025 with Incoscienti giovani.

He carried the torch on the first day of its journey in Italy, and in true Achille Lauro style, right in front of the Colosseum.

Noemi

On the same day Achille Lauro carried the torch, so did Sanremo star Noemi.

She has competed at the Festival nine times, with her best result 3rd in 2012.

Al Bano

Al Bano competed at Eurovision twice for Italy in 1976 and 1985.

His 1976 entry with wife Romina Power We'll Live it All Again finished 7th, while his 1985 entry (also with Power) Magic Oh Magic also finished 7th.

He carried the torch in Florence on the 6th day of the relay in Italy.

Arisa

Arisa has competed in the Sanremo Music Festival five times, winning the title in 2014 with Contravento.

However, in those years the winner of Sanremo wasn't offered the Eurovision Song Contest placement. Instead Emma Marrone was chosen internally.

Arisa is due to compete in this year's Sanremo Music Festival.

The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony takes place on Friday 5 February in Europe (Saturday 6 February). Coverage of Channel 9 in Australia.

Dara will represent Bulgaria at Eurovision 2026!!

The second of three shows to select Bulgaria's Eurovision entry for 2026 has wrapped up, and we now know that Dara will be heading to Vienna in May.

Eight finalists performed one of their previously released songs - different to the one they performed in the semi-final - in the hope of securing the chance to represent Bulgaria at Eurovision.

Also taking to the stage were two artists already set to represent their countries this year: Alis from Albania performed his song Nân, and AIDAN from Malta performed his song Bella. We also saw performances from Bulgarian artists Nevena Tsoneva and Ivo Dimchev, as well as Eldar of Ell & Nikki who achieved the win for Azerbaijan in 2011 with the song Running Scared.

The results were decided by a five-person jury who awarded each song 1-5 points, as well as online voting that gave 8 points to their favourite all the way down to 1 point for the least favourite.

Dara won both the jury and online voting, coming out on top with a total of 30 points. Rounding out the top 3 were Mihaela Marinova with 26 points, and Mona with 23 points.

The song that Dara will perform at Eurovision is set to be decided at the final show on Saturday 28 February.

Australia's 2025 Eurovision contestant Go-Jo has released his latest single Supersonic.

The track was first performed in July 2024 at Watt en Schlick Festival, and later teased as a potential new single on his socials in November of the same year.

During his Australian and European tours in 2025 Go-Jo continued to tease the release of the song with performances of Supersonic, including at James Blunt's Back to Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour this past October, where he was Blunt's supporting act.

The single follows his recent releases of Appetite, a collaboration with fellow Eurovision alum Erika Vikman in October, and Merry Christmas from Australia, a festive song in collaboration with singer-songwriter Salem Ilese in November.

Supersonic is available for download and streaming on all online music platforms.

The Eurovision Song Contest has announced the first lineup of legendary performers set to appear on its official 70th anniversary Live Tour in 2026.

Seven Eurovision icons have been confirmed, representing winners, cult heroes, and fan favourites from across the contest’s history.

The initial artists announced are Johnny Logan, Helena Paparizou, Katrina, Lordi, Verka Serduchka, Alessandra, and Australia’s Guy Sebastian.

Australia’s Eurovision pioneer returns

Two-time Eurovision Song Contest winner Loreen made her debut on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World as an extra-special guest judge.

She was joined on the judging panel by the UK’s long-time Eurovision commentator Graham Norton, alongside the illustrious Michelle Visage and, of course, the world's most famous drag queen, RuPaul.

The contestant line-up for the series features queens from the UK competing against international stars from the United States, Thailand, Canada, Germany, Sweden, the Philippines and Mexico.

The runway theme for episode one was “For Queen and Country – Home Nation Looks”, with contestants lip-syncing on the runway before presenting outfits inspired by their countries of origin.

This was not Loreen’s first appearance in the Drag Race universe. In 2023, the Eurovision icon served as a guest judge on Drag Race Sverige. She appeared in episode five, Dragodifestivalen, where she watched the bottom queens battle it out in a lip-sync to her 2012 Eurovision-winning anthem Euphoria.

Australia's 2023 Eurovision representatives @voyagerau are taking more heartwarming steps back into the live arena - announcing two shows for European fans in late July.

The band have played limited shows since front man Danny Estrin was diagnosed with terminal cancer in September 2023, mere months after their Eurovision appearance and the release of their eighth studio album Fearless In Love.

Fresh from their appearance at the Perth leg of the Froff And Fury festival last weekend, the band have now confirmed two shows dubbed 'Through the Storms and the Stars' in Tilburg, Netherlands and in London, UK.

In a post on their Facebook page, the band are promising "a unique live experience that goes beyond a traditional concert - blending performance and storytelling."

Danny said: “Every show I get to play with Voyager from now on is so special - to be able to do something so intimate and interactive as these two concerts is not only a celebration of music, but also a beautiful opportunity to share stories, laughs and tears with our amazing fans."

The new European shows will take place before Voyager play the Radar Festival in Manchester, UK, which also features other great Aussie heavy acts Thy Art Is Murder and Northlane. The band are playing on the final day of the three-day festival on Sunday, August 2.

After narrowly missing out to Sheldon Riley in the final year of SBS' old public selection show Australia Decides in 2022, Voyager were internally selected to represent Australia at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, UK. They finished 9th in the grand final with their track Promise.

Tickets and VIP upgrades for Voyager's newly announced Europe shows will go on general sale on Friday 30 January.

With national final season going strong, Ukraine is close to selecting their entry to head over to Vienna through the selection process, Vidbir 2026.

The show has been used to determine Ukraine’s representative to Eurovision since 2016, with Vidbir’s first winner, Jamala’s 1944, ending up as the winner of Eurovision later that year.

Vidbir will be a one-shot national final where a professional jury and public voting will choose the next Ukrainian representative for Vienna in a single grand final show.

Six Aussievision team members have heard all ten songs 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.

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.

Earlier in the month Dami revealed that "big things are coming" in celebration of the 10th anniversary release of Sound of Silence which finished in second place at Eurovision back in 2016.

It remains as Australia's best result in the Contest!

Dami is working on a re-release of Sound of Silence with Eurovision 2024 artists Electric Fields.

There is definitely a lot in store for the Darmi Army, the name of her fandom, this year.

Dami will be touring nationally from this June.

She will be embarking on her Stormy Weather Tour, get tickets from her website at damiim.com/tour

Sight of You is available for download and streaming on all online music platforms.

Denmark’s national broadcaster DR has officially unveiled the lineup of artists set to compete in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026, marking the beginning of the country’s annual search for its next Eurovision representative.

The full lineup consists of eight acts, representing a diverse cross-section of Denmark’s current music scene. The songs can be streamed on the official Dansk Melodi Grand Prix YouTube channel.

Artists and song titles:

Emil Otto - Copenhagen Noir
Ericka Jane - Death Of Me
Lasse Skriver - Roaring Heart
Late Runner - Can U Feel It?
Myrkur - Touch My Love And Die
Sander Sanchez - Two Spirits
Sissal - Infinity
Søren Torpegaard Lund - Før vi går hjem

Among the most notable participants is Sissal, who represented Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 with Hallucination, successfully returning the nation to the Grand Final for the first time since 2019. Her decision to compete again makes her the first Danish Eurovision act in four decades to attempt back-to-back appearances since Hot Eyes in the 1980s.

Also confirmed is Lasse Skriver, a rising pop artist who gained national recognition through his participation in X Factor Denmark.

The final will take place at 20:00CET on 14 February 2026 at Arena Nord in Frederikshavn, hosted by Sara Bro and actor Alex Høgh Andersen.

The winner will be determined by taking the three highest-scoring songs forward to the superfinal. Voting then restarts from zero, with a combined 50% public vote and 50% jury vote determining Denmark’s representative for Eurovision 2026.

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.
