Switzerland has decided! Veronica Fusaro will have the grand honour of representing Switzerland at the forthcoming 2026 Eurovision edition in Vienna.
We now have the 7th Eurovision 2026 act aka Switzerland. Veronica Fusaro will defend the Swiss colours at ESC 2026. Her Eurovision entry will be premiered on 11th March. Fredrik “Benke” Rydman will be collaborating with SRF in order to develop the creative and artistic direction of Veronica’s performance in Vienna.
The 28 year old Swiss artist hails from Thun, Switzerland and has gained much fame and recognition at home in Switzerland.
EBU’s press release reads:
Born and raised in Thun BE, Veronica Fusaro has firmly built a reputation as one of the most distinctive voices on the Swiss music scene. Blending pop with elements of soul and rock, her songs combine sharp lyricism with emotional clarity and a groove-driven sound.
An established live performer, Fusaro was named ‘Best Talent’ by Swiss national radio SRF 3 in 2016, marking an early milestone in her career. Since then, she has played over 500 concerts in Switzerland and abroad, appearing on renowned stages and festivals including Glastonbury, Montreux Jazz Festival and Gurtenfestival, and supporting Mark Knopfler at the Amphitheatre of Nîmes. She concluded 2023 with a headline show at Kaufleuten in Zurich.
Known for her strong stage presence, the 28-year-old musician balances vulnerability and confidence, creating performances that feel both personal and powerful.
Veronica Fusaro says:
I am extremely happy and honoured to represent Switzerland at Eurovision. It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share my music on a beautiful stage like that, with people from all over watching.
