Could Spain and Additional Countries Still Return?
Most Eurovision experts and fans were expecting a notable increase in participation, with estimates ranging between 37 and 39 countries. However, the final figure stands at 36 following Czechia’s withdrawal, the cancellation of the Netherlands’ return, and ongoing boycotts from Ireland and Iceland over Israel’s participation.
On the other hand, Spain, Hungary, and Slovenia may still potentially join the lineup, as the EBU has granted national broadcasters RTVE, MTVA, and RTVSLO an extension until December to make a final decision on their participation.
Bulgaria in Eurovision 2026
“Bangaranga” is the song performed by the singer DARA, which represented Bulgaria in Vienna, Austria. DARA won the contest and got 516 points in the final. The song was written and composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos and Cristian Tarcea. While this is the performer’s first Eurovision entry, it marks the 15th song in the contest for composer Dimitris Kontopoulos. The song is performed entirely in English.
Eurovision 2027: The 71st Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Bulgaria, following the country’s historic win with the song “BAGARANGA” performed by DARA. This will be the first time the contest is hosted in Bulgaria.
