Berlin Song Fest is happening as we speak. Its a songwriting camp for Eurovision, arranged by the same people who does the Norwegian Eurovision / MGP camps.

Familiar faces from Malta's national selection:

- MATT BLXCK
- Ryan Hili
- Stefan Galea (with Norwegian Elsie Bay)

So we might see them back next year in national selection!

Former camp song in Malta 2025:
Miguel Bonello - Breaking The Cycle came from one of these camps.

Other Eurovision stars:
Pænda (Austria 2019)
Daniel Zizka (Czechia 2026)
Elsie Bay (MGP 2021 & 2022)
Aranja (MGP 2026 - radio cup)

While we wait for our next host city, lets look at the option from different countries if they catch a win in the near future. Remember the city has to have hotels, infrastructure and so on, but also an Arena with capacity of minimum 10 000 people (correct me if Im wrong her). Would be fun to at least see some option other than the capital from varies country - lets start pitching!

Norway:
I think since Oslo being the capital, its hard to make the whole city feel like Eurovision for the time being. So I would like to look at some smaller cities for options.

Hamar: Big enough city. Its a trainride from the biggest Airport in Norway. Vikingskipet as the arena, can hold up 20'000 people.

Trondheim: One of the biggest city in Norway. Big airport outside the city. Trondheim has a lot of tourism and history. Trondheim Spektrum, arena with 12'000 capasity. Hosted MGP finals (2020, 2023, 2024).

Lillehammer: The city is known for hosting the Winter olympics back in 1994. Close to Hamar, so just trainride from the biggest Airport in Norway. Håkons Hall would be the arena, capasity 11'500. Hosted MGP Final i 2026 and Junior Eurovision back in 2004.

Start pitching!

Australia change their tactics after some NQs lately. They sent a big name, with international fame! Delta Goodrem gave Australia their second best placement ever. Could we see Australia keep this trend going? I guess big names in Australia can consider this, after the result we saw this year!

Who are potensial big name from Australia we can see next year? :)
