"Eurovision 2026 will be held in Vienna, Austria, after Austrian singer JJ won last year with his operatic ballad, 'Wasted Love'. The contest will feature 35 countries and culminate with a live show in the Wiener Stadthalle on Saturday, 16 May."
"The mascot for Eurovision 2026 is a fluffy, pink and purple being named Auri, described as a 'colourful ambassador who conveys openness, respect, and the joy of togetherness.' Auri gives off strong bisexual vibes and has a slightly bear-ish appearance."
"Several countries have withdrawn from this year's contest because Israel's participation was allowed, despite the war in Gaza. Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain will be boycotting, marking the largest number of boycotting countries in the contest's history since 1970."
"For 2026, the UK are pinning their hopes on Look Mum No Computer's 'Eins, Zwei, Drei', which is already making history as the first song in UK Eurovision history to not be sung entirely in English."

The UK hopes to succeed with Look Mum No Computer's song, while Finland is favored to win. Auri, the new mascot, symbolizes openness and joy, embodying a colorful and inclusive spirit.
