The Greek website “Eurovisionfun” and local radio stations are hosting the annual pre-Eurovision party tonight (Thursday) in Thessaloniki. The completely sold-out event will feature a massive lineup of Eurovision 2026 stars, including a huge last-minute surprise!
The Greek Eurovision website Eurovisionfun is hosting, for the third consecutive year, its annual pre‑party “Eurovision Party SKG” in collaboration with local radio stations Zoo Radio and Transistor. The party will take place tonight (Thursday, 12 March) at the “WE” club in Thessaloniki and is described as the biggest Eurovision event in Greece.
Following the huge success of the previous two editions, excitement this year is at its peak: more than 1,000 Eurovision fans have secured their spots, and the organisers have announced that all tickets for the event have been completely sold out. The evening, which starts at 20:30 and will feature live performances, DJ sets and a Eurovision atmosphere late into the night, will be hosted by Irene Kakouri and Giorgos Velintsiais.
The Euromix team, who already had their tickets and planned to fly out to cover the party on site as we did last year, have unfortunately had to stay home this time. Due to the current situation in the Middle East and numerous flight cancellations, we were unable to travel to Thessaloniki, but we are sending our friends in Greece a big hug and our best wishes for an unforgettable night.

Greece at Eurovision 2026
“Ferto” (in English: “Bring it”) performed by Akylas will represent Greece in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2026 in Vienna. The song, co-written by Akylas and Teo Pouzbouris, embodies ambition and desire for greatness.
The song presents a manifesto of boundless ambition and an uncompromising desire to reach the top. The lyrics describe a character driven by inner fire and hunger for success – someone unwilling to settle for a small step forward, but instead demands it all: fame, money, power, and influence. The repeated call of “bring it” sharpens the feeling of a constant demand for more, as though the world itself is required to yield to the speaker’s aspirations.
Currently, Greece is ranked 4th in the betting tables ahead of Eurovision 2026.
Eurovision 2026: This will be Greece’s 46th participation in Eurovision. Greece joined the competition in 1974 and achieved its best result in Eurovision 2005 when singer Helena Paparizou won first place with the song “My Number One”.
