Whether you'd like to know who's performing at the Eurovision Village and Euro-Club today, or which special dedicated Eurovision events are taking place around this year's host city, read on to find out more!



Today's events at the Eurofan Cafés


Today, Crossfields, Australia's Eurofan Café, is hosting a Music & Breakfast event. Come down this morning for a cuppa, a bite to eat, and music to start your day right!


Here are the events taking place today at other nations' Eurofan Cafés across Vienna:


  • There'll be double the fun and double the events today at Café Landtmann, the United Kingdom and San Marino's Eurofan Café. The café will start the morning with a Music & Breakfast event from 7:30am to 11:30am, finishing the day with a Drinks & DJ Sounds event from 6pm to midnight.

  • Café Goldegg, Luxembourg and Portugal's Eurofan Café, is giving fans another chance to "sing like a star" with karaoke, voting and prizes from 4pm to 5pm.

  • G'schamster Diener, Finland's Eurofan Café, is holding a Record Hit Parade event tonight from 6pm.

  • Kaffee Kunze, Switzerland's Eurofan Café, will keep the party going late into the night, hosting a Wonderland Coffee event from 8pm to 2am.



Eurovision Village


Today's theme at the Eurovision Village is "Wild Dances Freaky Friday". This day will be all about celebrating the quirkiest Eurovision performances over the Contest's 70-year history.


This evening's Eurovision Village events will kick off at 6pm with singalongs featuring Ö3 presenter Sylvia Graf and DJ Manuel, followed by Muk Musical with students from the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna.


Next, brands and designers from 12 participating Eurovision countries will turn the Eurovision Village stage into a catwalk with Fashion For Europe, a fashion show running from approximately 9pm tonight.



Eurofan House


Here is the full lineup of Eurovision 2026 artists scheduled to visit Eurofan House today:


  • 12pm: Erika Vikman (Finland 2025)

  • 1pm: Tamara Zivkovic (Montenegro 2026)

  • 2pm: Who is going to win Eurovision 2026?


Entry is free, and no tickets are required to visit Eurofan House, but it is strongly recommended to arrive early to avoid disappointment.


The Wien Museum is also offering a guided tour in English today titled ESC - Vienna becomes a Metropolis from 2:30pm - 3:30pm. Tickets are only available at the information desk in the lobby.



WL x Sing Along


From 4pm - 10pm, the Eurovision Tram will be parked at Karlsplatz, in front of the Otto Wagner Pavilions, to host the final Sing Along live event of the week.


The tram will transform into a karaoke stage for fans to sing along to Eurovision classics and hits, with a focus on fun, community, and the shared Eurovision experience. Admission is free!



Singalong at the Vienna Volksoper


The Vienna Volksoper invites you to a grand Eurovision Song Contest sing-along in front of the opera house for the final time this week in the lead-up to the final - free for everyone! Tonight's sing-along will take place at 6pm.


Supported by the Volksoper Choir, the greatest Eurovision hits of the last seven decades will take you on a journey from the 1950s to today, from Domenico Modugno's Nel blu dipinto di blu (Volare) and Udo Jürgens' timeless Merci, Chérie to ABBA's Waterloo, Dschinghis Khan, Johnny Logan's Hold Me Now, and many more hits.


There will be commentary and lyrics to follow along, so that all amateur singers, Eurovision fans, and vocal talents can participate with enthusiasm. Because even more than listening together, singing together brings us closer to people who, at first glance, seem completely different from us. And isn't that precisely what the Eurovision Song Contest, which this year has the motto "United by Music," is all about?


A motto that has always been true at the Volksoper: people from over 30 nations, both on and off stage, make it the perfect match when the world comes to Vienna to celebrate this unique musical event.



Ottakringer Brewery Disco Night


The Ottakringer Brewery is getting the Eurovision party started with their Disco Night! Get ready to dance to Eurovision classics, pop hits, and experience guaranteed sing-along moments on a 700 square-metre dancefloor with multiple DJs and great vibes all night long!


Tickets are €29, find out more and get your tickets here.



Euro-Club


Tonight's Euro-Club theme is Euro Justice Night, where fans can come and cheer for some of the acts who didn't quite make it to Eurovision. Appropriately, the guest list is a national final extravaganza as artists from three different countries' national selections will get their chance to shine on the Euro-Club stage!


The lineup will include performances from the following artists:


  • Kristy Spiteri (MESC 2025)

  • SILKE (MGP 2026)

  • Sinikka Monte (UMK 2026)


Euro-Club will also host Ally Bandido, DJ Henrik, DJ Linus, DJ Momo, DJ Gravitybeat, Ibuuu DJ, Sasha Balkan, and Sinner G tonight.
