Austria is gearing up in full steam for the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest 2026 and has a grand line up of events scheduled to celebrate the ESC in the best of ways!

Circa 50 official events are planned to take place throughout Austria in lieu with the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. The whole of Austria will be celebrating the ESC in style!

The Eurovision Song Contest is traditionally a shared experience for fans – especially at public viewings. This year, numerous official partners are again relying on this format and are authorized to present themselves as “Official Eurovision Song Contest Public Viewings”.

In Vienna, 29 such events are currently planned. But the number of events is also growing nationwide: larger public viewings are planned in all federal states, currently around 20 outside the capital. The largest event is currently planned at the Dornbirn Exhibition Center.
