About the event
The Eurovision Song Contest is the European Broadcasting Union's annual live music competition, first staged in Lugano in 1956 with seven countries. What began as a television experiment now turns national selections, original songs, jury votes and public voting into one shared week of semi-finals and a grand final. Its scale is measurable: the 2026 edition was the 70th Contest, reached 131 million people across 35 TV markets, and followed a 2025 edition that reached 166 million. For a viewer, that means a reliable live-TV ritual with a new cast every year; for a traveller, it means a temporary city-wide programme built around the arena, delegations and fans.
