Eurovision 2026 on a crisis: Are we really United by Music? | Ep.11

Episode 11: A Pivotal Week for Eurovision — EBU Decisions, Withdrawals & 2026 National Finals

In this episode, we break down one of the most important weeks Eurovision has seen in years.

We begin with the EBU General Assembly results, the rule changes that were approved, and the decision not to vote on Israel’s participation, followed by a historical flashback to ESC 1970 and why many fans are drawing parallels today.
We then analyze the EBU’s official statement, Martin Green’s response, and Israel’s diplomatic push behind securing its place in the contest.

From there, we move to all the latest updates from around Europe:
• Latvia’s Supernova 2026 standout entries
• Eesti Laul 2026 surprises and early reactions
• Festivali i Këngës 64 highlights
• Melodifestivalen 2026 full lineup
• MESC 2026 Maltese contestants
• Dora 2026 competing artists
• Serbia’s PZE 2026 lineup reveal
• Vidbir 2026 9 finalists
• Bulgaria’s 3-stage selection format for 2026
