Luxembourgish broadcaster RTL today announced the full list of artists and songs competing in next year's Luxembourg Song Contest - the third edition of the national final formal for the Grand Duchy.

In a change to the format of the competition, there will be eight artists competing in 2026 - one more than this year. The artists were selected following a competitive audition process featuring an international jury.

The eight artists who will compete to represent Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna are:

1. Irem

2. Steve Castile

3. Hugo One

4. ShiroKuro

5. Eva Marija

6. Andrew the Martian

7. Daryss

8. Luzac

Eagle-eyed fans will recognise one returnee among the announced list of names, with Luzac making a second attempt to represent his country after finishing third at this year's Luxembourgish national final with his song Je danse.

The lineup also represents the cultural diversity present in Luxembourg, with Eva Marija having family connections to Slovenia while Andrew the Martian was born in Portugal.

The songs for the Luxembourg Song Contest will be released in December. It is currently unknown whether artists will be performing their own songs, or whether (as in past years) certain artists will be paired up with songwriters to create an act for Eurovision.

Luxembourg returned to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024 after more than 30 years' absence, and have used the Luxembourg Song Contest to select their act each year since their return. They were represented in 2025 by Laura Thorne, whose song La poupée monte le son finished 22nd in the Grand Final with 47 points.
