Spain announced it will join Ireland in boycotting Eurovision. The decision comes just days after Ireland has threatened to pull out if Israel is allowed to participate in the contest. Eurovision 2026 will be the 70th edition of the contest, hosted in Vienna, Austria, after Austria won in 2025 with the song “Wasted Love” by JJ. Vienna will also host Eurovision Village and the Opening Ceremony, and the event promises a fresh design to mark the 70 years of Eurovision. With two nations now walking away, the spotlight is on Eurovision leaders to explain how they will handle this growing backlash.
