As tensions continue to mount over a growing number of countries threatening to drop out of next year’s Eurovision Song Contest should Israel be kept on the line-up, France and Australia have both confirmed they’ll be heading to Vienna next May.
Australia’s Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) has stated it intends to broadcast Eurovision 2026 “regardless of whether the EBU [European Broadcasting Union, which organises the competition] allows Israel to participate or not,” with the broadcaster highlighting in a statement that it will continue its tradition of celebrating “diversity and inclusion with all Australians.”
