Eurovision 2026: This year's contestants tease their songs
The 70th Eurovision Song Contest will see acts from 35 countries vie for the continent’s pop crown. This year's event is taking place in Vienna in May, after their representative JJ won the competition in 2025. Founded in 1956, Eurovision is historically a feelgood extravaganza known for songs that range from anthemic to extremely silly, often with elaborate costumes and spectacular staging. However this year five countries — Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain — are boycotting because Israel was allowed to take part. Speaking to AP ahead of the 2026 contest, some of this year's participants teach us about their countries and how to dance to their songs.
