Georgia: Bzikebi chosen as Eurovision 2026 representative

Georgia’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 has now been confirmed. The Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) announced that the pop trio Bzikebi will represent the country at the contest in Vienna in May 2026. Their song will be released soon.

Back in 2008, Bzikebi snagged Georgia its first Junior Eurovision victory with Bzz... performing in a made-up language.

The group consist of Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Tatulashvili and Mariam Kikuashvili. Since their 2008 victory, Bzikebi have remained active in the music industry. After their Junior Eurovision success they released an album called Zabuzei that was popular with young fans in Georgia. More recently, the trio reunited to perform as an interval act at Junior Eurovision 2025 in Tbilisi, where they debuted a new song called We Don’t Sleep, which sparked speculation about their return to the Eurovision stage before GPB’s official announcement.

Georgia is the most successful country in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Since debuting in 2007, Georgia has gone on to claim four victories, more than any other participating country. This is not the first time Georgia has sent a Junior Eurovision winner, as in 2023, Iru represented Georgia, who won Junior Eurovision in 2011 as a member of the group Candy.
