Last update: 11 hours agoEurovision Countdown: The 2026 Grand Final is tonight in Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle, with Finland and Australia leading the betting after Delta Goodrem’s semi-final surge—Finland 11/10, Australia 13/5, Greece 13/1, Bulgaria 14/1, Israel 14/1—while the running order has fans nervous about Denmark going first and “Look Mum No Computer” fading fast. Boycott Fallout: Several broadcasters won’t air the show over Israel’s participation, including Spain, Ireland and Slovenia, and LGBTQ campaigners are calling it “pinkwashing.” Bulgaria in the Spotlight: Dara—performing in the final—keeps attention on Bulgaria’s entry “Bangaranga,” as fans also share how to watch and vote. Diaspora Culture: In Munich, Bulgaria’s folklore community is in full swing with the “Expats Join Hands in Worldwide Dance” festival, plus BTA partnerships with Ot Izvora (Lyon) and the Association of Bulgarian Folklore Ensembles Abroad. Film & Music: Aaron Eckhart has started shooting Bulgaria’s action-thriller “The Walk-In,” and SKILLET debuted new single “Scream” live in Sofia.
