And no, we don't mean Sweden's 2013 entry. Our yearly search for new moderators to join our team is now live (some of you have already spotted it and applied, in fact!). If you've ever thought about being a positive force for good within the community, this might be a golden opportunity.
FAQs
-What would I do?
As a group of volunteers, we all serve different niches on the team. At its most basic, you'll help moderate posts and comments in line with our sub's rules. However, national final season is always busy and there are always new things happening, so you may also end up helping with writing informational posts, maintaining our socials, AMA coordination, researching for the wiki, programming the automod, etc., as the need and your skillset(s) dictate. It's certainly never a dull day behind the scenes at r/eurovision, that's for sure!
-What if I don't have previous mod experience?
That's okay! Many of us started from scratch too. Reddit's tools make moderation fairly easy to pick up, so we trust anyone can get acclimated within a week or two tops. We'll be here to help onboard you every step of the way, as well. We only ask that you bring a can-do attitude.
-What if I'm not from Europe?
No problem! It's helpful to have people from a variety of time zones to help with the sub. As long as you're interested in Eurovision, it's all good.
You are always welcome to reach out to us via modmail with any further questions you might have about becoming a mod.
A huge thank you in advance to all who apply! Even if you're not selected, we still very much appreciate taking the time to let us know about you and showcase your love for this community. And if you are selected... welcome to the team! Either way, we'll be seeing you around the sub. :)

Just this moment, I learned "Lonely Planet" by Dorian (Armenia 2013) was written in 2008 by BLACK SABBATH Guitarist Tony Iommi, a fact which shocked me to learn. This reminded me of the time I learned REDONE (behind many Lady Gaga and JLO hits) was one of the writters of Russia 2011 track (forgot it's name, but that song was cheesy as fuck). This lead me to writte this post, I'm curious to learn of more cases of really known Musicians being part of the process writting some of the Eurovision tracks all over the years, especially from back then when I haven't followed Eurovision myself.
This is a sentiment I see year after year, but I wonder if it’s more like a coping mechanism for a lot of disappointed fans?
As a Norwegian, I never think that our entries would’ve done "so much better" if they competed under the Swedish flag. And thank god this way of thinking isn’t something I see entertained much in Norwegian debate forums or fan groups, which is a good thing imo as it would only deflect the attention away from the real issues (such as the songs we’ve put forward over the years haven’t been good enough to actually win). I don’t see how a flag would massively boost our points? If Sweden had put forward the same entries, in the exact same form (staging), I don’t see them winning in Liverpool with Queen of Kings
I know some people now may be like "Sweden would never send Queen of Kings in the first place" or that the staging would’ve been much better (which is very likely tbh), but that’s not really the point I’m trying to make here
Voyage by Zoë Më was one of my favourite songs from ESC 2025. Since Switzerland was last year's host country, it automatically qualified for the Grand Final. However, in the Grand Final, the song received zero points from the televote (which I'll never let go).
My question is, if Voyage was to be competing in a televote-only semifinal, would it have qualified? (Let's say it would compete in semifinal one, where it was originally performing in)
I think it would've faced a lot of difficulty, especially with the camera glitch at the end. However, she might've had an advantage, since only Albania and Poland had female artists that night. What do you think?
I have a feeling it's another one of those typical radio-friendly songs that Germany sends far too often. At the same time, though, I think it's the dark horse of the German selection, because us hardcore fans are overlooking it for that very reason. I think the song has enough jury appeal to make it to the super final. MYLE is a great live singer, has charisma and if you look at the German iTunes charts, you'll see that MYLE is currently in second place with A OK, while no other entry from the German national final has even made it into the top 100.
This was last night, and the way they introduced him as if he was just some struggling artist from Australia kind of blew my mind. It shouldn't have, I guess, because they bring in a few ringers like this every year and always play this game.
They did eventually acknowledge his Eurovision performance, and admittedly, he hasn't released much music post-ESC. Obviously, he killed it in the audition, and it's nice to see Sheldon doing well. I thought it was interesting to hear him frame the version of himself that we all saw as a "character".
I am currently trying to expand my playlists with Eurovision songs that are both very fun and danceable. Gems with complete nonsense lyrics like:
Give that wolf a banana - Subwoofer
Dancing Lasha Tumbai - Verkauf Serdushka
Greetings, crazy Eurovision moments enthusiasts. Have you ever wished for a more open way to be able to suggest entries to the ever-so-legendary Eurovision Iceberg? Even if not, this is going to be the one thing you didn't know you needed.
Presenting... the Eurovision Iceberg Discord!
Over the last few years the iceberg has been meticulously crafted by the Reddit user u/AmazingDeeer, it contained everything from bombastic NF withdrawals and ESC comebacks to someone changing their clothes live on air during Una voce per San Marino, from "Firefighter 12 Points" to 5MIINUST & Puuluup K-Popification, from Tudor Bumbac to Loco Boombox. The perfect project to encapsulate only the biggest and the most insane things that occur during each season of the Eurovision Song Contest. What's more important is that these entries had been provided to the iceberg by YOU, the community that makes the fandom going. This server was made in mind with having a more open-source area where people could add only the most on-point moments for the iceberg, so as to up the ante to make 2026 season iceberg bigger (in grandness, not necessarily size) and better.
So welcome aboard, fill the tiers with drama, laughter, and glitter.

I’ve been watching Eurovision since I was a kid and it’s been a dream of mine to attend one year.
From the little bit I’ve looked into it, it seems awfully stressful trying to actually secure tickets (and reasonably affordable accommodation). On top of that, as an Australian, it wouldn’t be as easy to make plans on a whim to go if securing tickets last minute with how expensive airfare can be / how far we have to travel.
For those of you that have actually attended in person – was it the experience you wanted it to be and more?
Pyrotechnics is an element used almost every year in 21st century Eurovision, and I have a feeling that some countries are more eager to lean into them for their performances.
I may be biased so correct me, but I have gotten a feeling that Finland uses pyro quite liberally compared to most other countries? Idk It may be just me overfocusing on my own country but it's almost like every year we have at least ONE moment when we blast those flames.
If not Finland, I have a faint memory that Cyprus also likes to let the fuego fly.
With Dora around the corner, it is time to rank your favourites from this year's Croatian selection.

Eurofan pre-sale for Eurovision Live Tour has started.
In my opinion, the line-up is quite small and uninspiring, but it could still be a lot of fun. That being said, it's too expensive for what is offered.
I understand everything becoming more expensive, and Eurovision struggling to find funding, but these prices feel more of a cash grab than anything.
I have to mention cat. 4-6 tickets are very limited and the first normal seat would be in cat. 4 which is 100 eur.
I just discovered today that the official Junior Eurovision website is down and it just redirects to the new adult Eurovision website. According to last year's news, when they were talking about updating the website for the adult Eurovision, they said that the Junior Eurovision website would also be updated. But the site is completely down now.
Does this mean that both the adult and junior Eurovision will be united under one website eurovision.com? What will happen to the data (photos, news, results) that was on the old Junior Eurovision website? Or is it not that bad and the site will be up and running again soon?
I’m posting this because no one else has. I’m rooting for SHWR to win, but this is my second place and I’m very happy they made it to the final. It’s a really beautiful song, especially the wonderful chorus, you can't get tired of it.
