Dutch 90,615 Posted Sunday at 11:39 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:39 AM (edited) Welcome to the thread for Eurovision Song Contest 2026, which will be held in 🇦🇹 Austria! Thanks to JJ’s Eurovision win with his song “Wasted Love” and Austrias 3rd win, 11 years after the legend Conchita Wurst won, we are heading one country eastward to the land of Sissi, opera and what not. This thread was created in the spirit of the Swedish king @Bellatrix who opened a thread for Eurovision every year but also @Max which is the biggest Austrian Eurovision fan on GGD. Let the pre-season fun begin!

CautiousLurker 18,948 Posted Sunday at 11:44 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:44 AM I had to Google 'what year is it' because of this thread, this is abuse Men are naturally more dominating, aggressive, and logical thinking because we have balls. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 21,675 Posted Sunday at 11:47 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:47 AM (edited) Graz already expressed interest in hosting it. Well at least some politician from their local social party https://www.instagram.com/p/DJycH-6Iyv6/?igsh=MTFxZ3AzeTUzMHdiZg== Edited Sunday at 11:47 AM by Max Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch 90,615 Posted Sunday at 12:02 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 12:02 PM So how many countries will withdraw? I feel like Azerbaijan is a goner for sure and Montenegro likely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just call it for what it is. They ruined the contest together with the EBU having 0 spine and changing the whole contest just for them to participate. Muting the crowd to hide the boos, which resulted in very boring performances for the others... No press conferences so Israel won't get "risky" questions... Disqualifying Joost when Israel was being awful BTS. Feeing Spain for telling the truth while Israel said awful stuff about Ireland in 2024 and wrong stuff about Armenia this year. The list is LONG and I won't shut up about it any longer. 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,373 Posted Sunday at 12:32 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:32 PM (edited) It’s probably gonna be in Vienna again. It’s the easiest to reach for Most fans and can definitely handle the amount of tourists coming to See the show. Innsbruck would be cool but I don’t think theyre gonna go for an alpine vibe twice in a row. And since an opera Song won they will probably want to promote Vienna‘s opera and classical music scene.

princedeeblebleble 1,359 Posted Sunday at 01:15 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:15 PM Until they stop bullshiting I couldn't care enough where they are hosting. They are so tone deaf to what's happening to the world and taking away what it used to stand for by banning certian (pride) flags and being silent about the whole situation about Israel, while they had ZERO issues banning Russia. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually banned Russia only because other broadcasters were withdrawing if they stayed in. EBU never had a spine. Broadcasters NEED todo the same again. Enough is enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch 90,615 Posted Sunday at 01:21 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:21 PM I need Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria back. It's becoming too much of a west European show right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
