I think it should be released close to the ESC 2026.

Because the “Big 5” are only placed in the Grand Final after the semi-finals, they appear at the end of this list. Unfortunately, due to ASCII limitations, some performers and entries could not be written using the characters of their original languages. A particularly clear example is the Danish act (Soren Torpegaard Lund - “For vi gar hjem,” originally: Søren Torpegaard Lund - “Før vi går hjem”). I am unsure whether this should be mentioned in the introduction and, if so, how. If necessary, I can still adjust it, but I would appreciate a review beforehand.

Some acts have not yet been selected or do not yet have confirmed song titles. I will update the list accordingly as soon as that information becomes available. I decided to leave out the slideshow because it is likely that images for some acts will not be available on IMDb. The first semi-final will take place on May 12, 2026. I believe the poll, together with the Face-Off poll, should be published early enough - ideally at the beginning of May.

Since the Eurovision Song Contest is the largest international music festival, I believe it would be in IMDb’s interest to publish it - especially at a time when unity is more important than ever. Thank you in advance.

There is no problem using the Danish name.

For example, this year we had polls with the name Skarsgård with one of the same characters.

I've put in the Name with all the special characters it has and also same for the title. I hope it works. I wonder, if I should also do with other countries like Albania, Austria, ...We can make the experiment, if you want. I'll restore all names and we try to push it, so we know, maybe? I think it's a pitty, when it doesn't work with countries which are connected to Europe. They're also mostly friends. You can believe Armenia and Azerbidjan would really like to belong to us here in official Europe. Canadians and Australians welcome! ;D

I've restored all the names and titles  like they are at the website of the ESC (VVV.eurovision . com /eurovision-song-contest / vienna-2026 /) Just correct the address and you can see. Also I've corrected the expected order of appearance.

I think Žižka and Căpitănescu are probably a problem since they are Eastern European characters.

Thank you for pointing out. What we're gonna do now? Try it to be sure or should I correct them to ASCII?

Sorry, I missed this. If the characters are ASCII, yes, you can use them.

And I think it's enough to only include the finalists, as most people only watch the final. If you look at last year's poll, it has 113 votes with 7 zero vote options.

@Jessica​ That's right. I will sort out them which didn't make it to the finals, then.

I've sorted out the guys who lost at the first semi-finale.

Now wait for the second semi-finale, so I can sort out a few more.
