Budget papers from the Canadian government have revealed they are exploring participation in Eurovision.

The papers, tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne read:

“The government will explore modernising CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate to strengthen independence, and is working with CBC/Radio Canada to explore participation in Eurovision.”

Eurovision Canada?

In 2022, the EBU announced that the Eurovision Canada contest would be coming in 2023.

The competition was to be similar to the now-defunct American Song Contest.

Executive Supervisior of the Eurovision Song Contest, Martin Österdahl gave reasons for the decision at the time.

“It is time for Canada to join the party and become a player in this worldwide spectacle,” he said.

“The love of music is universal and the celebration of music’s different genres and styles transcends boundaries, uniting people in a way that no other art form can.

“We are excited to have found the best partners to offer another version of this joyful phenomenon to new fans and to share this remarkable competition with the Canadian people.”

The competition has yet to take place.

More countries returning

The news comes after Bulgaria, Moldova and Romania annoucned their return to Eurovision while many other nations like Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain threaten to withdraw over Israel.

Next year’s Contest is also the 70th edition in Vienna. The 2015 Contest was the 60th year of Eurovision, which was used as a reason to invite Australia as a special guest.

Australia had been broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest every year since 1983 sending commentary teams since 2009.

Canada’s CBC channel is an Associate Member of the EBU but currently do not broadcast the contest.

Ahead of the third edition of Luxembourg Song Contest happening on 24 January, broadcaster RTL has announced the eight artists that will be taking part.

Only two editions have taken place so far, but that's not stopped Luxembourg Song Contest from becoming appointment viewing for Eurovision fans everywhere; all eager for an evening of sparkling entertainment on a cold and dark Saturday in winter!

And so for the third consecutive January, all eyes will no doubt be on the Grand Duchy to see what broadcaster RTL has in store for the 2026 edition of the Contest; a show which has so far proven to not just be a superb showcase of the Luxembourg music scene, but also in parts a celebration of the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, too.

On Thursday 30 October, RTL announced that a total of eight finalists have been selected to compete in the upcoming edition of Luxembourg at Song Contest after a highly competitive audition process was hosted by the broadcaster earlier in the month.

An international jury, made up of professionals and creatives from the Eurovision Song Contest-adjacent world, was on the hunt for the song that could represent Luxembourg at Vienna 2026. Out of the 83 compositions submitted, the jury selected eight that will now get to take the stage at the Rockhal on Saturday 24 January 2026

The eight songs competing will be released to streaming platforms in December. But before then, you can get acquainted with the eight acts that are going to be performing them!

Australian Eurovision commentator and drag icon @courtneyact has released a joyful new children’s book titled Confetti and the Rainbow Garden — a celebration of curiosity, creativity, family, identity, and the wonders of nature.

Illustrated by award-winning artist Dylan Finney, the picture book is designed to inspire acceptance and independence in children aged 3 and up.

At the heart of the story is Confetti, a young anthropomorphic wattle spending the holidays with five cousins at their Nan’s house. There, they discover a magical backyard overflowing with native Australian plants and flowers. As Confetti explores, they wonder who they’ll grow up to be — a wistful waratah, a lorikeet-loving grevillea, or maybe a playful fern?

The release arrives at a time when Drag Queen Story Time events have faced criticism, despite their role in offering young audiences empowering representation of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Courtney has been at the centre of this conversation before — her appearance on ABC’s beloved children’s program Play School back in 2022 drew backlash from a conservative senator, who described the segment as “child grooming.”

In a passionate response published in The Sydney Morning Herald, Courtney wrote:

“Showing straight kids queer content won’t turn them queer. Your queer kids will be queer regardless of whether you show them examples or talk to them about it. It just depends on how much shame you want them to carry into their lives.”

Alongside her advocacy, Courtney has become a beloved figure within Australia’s Eurovision world. She joined SBS’s broadcasting team in 2024 as backstage correspondent, bringing fans exclusive behind-the-scenes access with charisma and heart. In 2025, she stepped up to co-host the live Eurovision broadcasts from Basel, Switzerland, alongside Tony Armstrong, a duo quickly embraced by audiences.

And she isn’t done yet — as recently as September, Courtney expressed her desire to represent Australia on the Eurovision stage in the near future.

Confetti and the Rainbow Garden is available now through inclusive bookstores and via Booktopia, offering limited signed copies.

For months Australia's own "Milkshake Man", @heyimgojo, has been teasing that he is releasing a song with a Eurovision artist and now the mystery is over!

Go-Jo has collaborated with Finnish Eurovision star @erikavikman for the song Appetite.

Appetite is co-written by Go-Jo along with some of the @wearesheppard crew, George and Amy Sheppard and Jason Bovino.

Sheppard competed at Eurovision - Australia Decides in 2019 with their smash hit On my Way which finished third and has amassed over 37 million streams on Spotify.

This year the Brisbane band co-wrote Go-Jo's iconic Eurovision entry for Australia, Milkshake Man.

In a recent interview with Go-Jo we asked him about his next song and this mystery collaboration: "It’s a very exciting song that definitely lives in a similar world to Milkshake Man. It’s chaotic, full of energy, and I’m so proud of the collaborator who joined me on it," he said.

"They’re an amazing performer with twice as much energy as me, and an amazing person inside and out. The track is fun, sexy, and completely wild. I think people are going to be blown away."

Go-Jo and Erika spent time together before Eurovision.

In an interview with Curiosity on YouTube, Go-Jo revealed that he was meeting the Finnish star.

"I am going to Finland and we are going to catch up," he said.

"We are going to get some filming stuff done together and maybe even make a song."

Erika joined Go-Jo at his Paris gig while he was on tour, where they both performed Appetite together. After the main set was done the pair performed the song several times to film the music video.

The music video is still set to be released at a future date.

The Finnish star included Appetite as part of her set list during her own recent tour in Europe.

Appetite is available for download and streaming on all online music platforms at midnight.

Both anniversaries symbolise Hungary's enduring pursuit of freedom and democracy.

Today @keggs87 makes the case for why @privatefunction69 should represent Australia at Eurovision 2026!

Private Function are a punk and pub rock band from Melbourne who formed in 2016.

Their current lineup includes front man Chris Penney, bassist Milla Holland, drummer Aidan McDonald, lead guitarist Anthony Biancofiore and rhythm guitarist Lauren Hester, along with occasional keyboardist and percussionist James Macleod.

They have become known for their high energy, rowdy live shows, larrikin humour and eye-raising marketing stunts.

For their debut album in 2019, they used the same title and artwork as Metallica's divisive and mostly unpopular 2003 album St. Anger.

Upon releasing their fourth album ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ earlier this year, they put on sale a limited edition vinyl variant, which was scented like Gwyneth Paltrow's infamous vagina candle.

Most of their tracks have spoofy titles playing on the aforementioned larrikin humour, or focus on Aussie slang and lifestyle.

Their most well known tracks include I Wish Australia Had Its Guns Again, Albury Wodonga, Justavinageez, Dial Before You Dig, White Lady Funerals, Passion Pop, Bad Day To Be A Beer and F**k Me Dead.

I'll be real - a band whose back catalogue has tracks including I Wish Australia Had Its Guns Again is obviously not going to be the most PC-friendly choice for an international pop song contest - even though the song topic is a satirical take on Australia and US's differences with gun laws.

But much like Go-Jo this year, Private Function have a bit of a 'novelty' factor to them that is endearing and draws eyeballs.

Think Iceland's Hatari and their industrial metal from 2019, albeit with some tongue in cheek, and a thrashy punk rock sound.

Anyone who has seen their live shows knows how off the chain they can be. It's been too long since we've seen some real rock star moves at Eurovision, like Lordi's drummer throwing his drumsticks into the crowd in 2006, or a (kinda half-assed) crowd surf from the bass player in Hungary's AWS in 2019.

Australian singer @bobiandonovofficial, who has heritage from North Macedonia, met with the broadcaster to pitch his representation, ESC Discord revealed.

As we reported in July, the former Junior Eurovision artist had made his intentions clear in telling publication Слободен Печат (Sloboden Pechat),

"No matter where music has taken me, whether in America, Australia or Europe, I have never forgotten my home," he said.

"Macedonia is in my blood. As an artist, I have grown a lot and now I feel ready to bring something strong back to the country that raised me. Eurovision seems to me like the perfect opportunity to connect with the people and give something valuable."

The meeting notes mention that Bobi presented his case, including his achievements, promotional campaign details and even where and how the music video could be shot.

He also claimed he had agreed funding via an Australian Government body responsible for authors and composers to provide financial support and media coverage if he was selected.

Following the reports, Bobi took to Instagram to provide an update:

"Eurovision 2026 would've been amazing, but after speaking with MRT, it looks like everything's moving towards 2027 - and honestly, it feels right. This gives me time to build it properly and make it unforgettable."

North Macedonia hasn't competed at Eurovision since 2022, although it's looking more promising that they will make a return.

Could Bobi follow in the footsteps of many other Australians competing at Eurovision for other nations? We'd love to see it!

Eurovision 2022 runner-up @samhairwolfryder has released his second studio album Heartland.

The 13-track release is the follow-up to his 2022 debut album There's Nothing But Space, Man!, which entered the UK charts at number 1 and is certified Gold.

Before participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Sam Ryder rose to fame on TikTok, where he began posting his viral music covers during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

He caught the the attention of famous musicians such as Elton John, Sia, Justin Bieber, and Alicia Keys. By the end of 2020, he was the most-followed UK artist on the platform, signing a record contract with Parlophone.

When White Lies, the lead single from his new album Heartland, was released, Sam Ryder spoke to Official Charts about his journey into the next chapter of his music career as an independent artist, following his departure from his record label after a successful Eurovision tilt.

"It’s going back to where the foundations were laid," he explained.

"I have so much to thank the major system for – I truly mean that with my whole heart.

"What we did when we were picked up for Eurovision, talking of building worlds, I knew I had to build a world that would work for Eurovision."

He continued: "Creating that world – the jumpsuits, everything like that – was necessary because I was a massive fan of that institution and I knew in my gut how to approach it.

"I knew how to build something that’d feel larger than life on that stage. But Eurovision was only a chapter of the book, and now we’re building a new world for this next record."

Speaking about Heartland in a press release, Sam Ryder said:

"This record is a collection of songs attempting to convey the feeling of the last couple of years. The wish is to find a connection with you no matter where you are in the world, whether it’s flying high or feeling like you’re the only ship out on the ocean."

Heartland is available to stream now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming services.

Eurovision 2022 runner-up @samhairwolfryder has released his second studio album Heartland.

The 13-track release is the follow-up to his 2022 debut album There's Nothing But Space, Man!, which entered the UK charts at number 1 and is certified Gold.

Before participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Sam Ryder rose to fame on TikTok, where he began posting his viral music covers during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

He caught the the attention of famous musicians such as Elton John, Sia, Justin Bieber, and Alicia Keys. By the end of 2020, he was the most-followed UK artist on the platform, signing a record contract with Parlophone.

When White Lies, the lead single from his new album Heartland, was released, Sam Ryder spoke to Official Charts about his journey into the next chapter of his music career as an independent artist, following his departure from his record label after a successful Eurovision tilt.

"It’s going back to where the foundations were laid," he explained.

"I have so much to thank the major system for – I truly mean that with my whole heart.

"What we did when we were picked up for Eurovision, talking of building worlds, I knew I had to build a world that would work for Eurovision."
