The plane to Ta'Qali is now full to the brim with 16 young artists heading to Malta & the songs that make up the October Festa Songbook. Here is your Junior Eurovision Class of 2026. One of this lot will be crowned champion in 2 weeks time. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

Just when you thought JESC 2026 would be a soloists only zone, Ireland comes along & sends a duo for the first time ever, namely Junior Eurovision Éire's top 2, Caleb Kirwan & Naomi Gribben. Along with the song, Níos Láidre, they complete the Ta'Qali roster. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

Fancy another one? Thought so. It's the 2nd artist confirmation this week. Beck Munkhbayar will get to realise his childhood dream of performing on the Eurovision stage as he flies the flag for Mongolia. With which song will be determined next Saturday. #EurovisionAsia #ESCA2026 #EuroDen

If you like a bit a beatboxing & a bit of a capella, then you're in for a treat. What's more, we're getting a beatboxing & a capella fusion, courtesy of Beatmosphere. They will be the voices of Bangladesh in Bangkok in November with their song Tumi Ele. #EurovisionAsia #ESCA2026 #EuroDen

With September nearing it's end & October almost upon us, Junior Eurovision fever is starting to take hold, even more so after the running order was revealed yesterday. We have Netherlands as the opener & Spain as the closer with hosts, Malta in slot 9. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

We got the venue for the contest & we got the hosts for the contest. Now we have the host entry sorted for Eurovision Asia & they have opted for a duo. MANG & DAOU are the chosen ones for Thailand with their song Aroma. #EurovisionAsia #ESCA2026 #EuroDen

Ukraine have something to say: their entry for Junior Eurovision this year is NOT a lullaby. Okay, that pun was iffy from us, but what we're trying to get at is that Erika Kolesnichenko will make the trip to Ta'Qali to represent Ukraine with NE kolyskova. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

Eurovision Asia is taking shape, even more so now that we have our presenters. One of Asia's most recognisable hosts & a globally acclaimed TV personality, actress & model are joining forces. Woody Milintachinda & Cindy Bishop will host the big show in Bangkok. #EurovisionAsia #ESCA2026 #EuroDen

The Ta'Qali train is nearing it's full capacity as Armenia, who never one finished outside the top 10, were next to give us their contestant & in true Armenian fashion, they announced it when we least expected it. The artist is Naré & the song is called BOO! #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

Some Eurovision alumni was spotted in the house. Jedward, who represented Ireland twice at Eurovision in both 2011 & 2012, made a guest appearance during the current UK series of Big Brother for 3 days as part of Double Trouble Week. #Eurovision #BBUK #EuroDen

A 2 in 1 package deal tonight with 2 more additions to the JESC 2026 roster. Maria won Junior Songfestival & will represent Netherlands with her song Stronger Together. Then Beppe Caruana won The Voice Kids Malta & will therefore represent the host country. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

Simone Grande, Lucio Corsi, Leonardo Giovannangeli & Sal Da Vinci. Since late 2024, Italy have been on a streak of sending male representatives to Eurovision & Junior Eurovision and JESC 2026 is no exception with Matteo Trullu as he was chosen to head to Ta'Qali. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

Back in January, Gaia Cauchi, Keane Cutajar & Destiny Chukunyere hosted Malta's Eurovision national selection, Malta Eurovision Song Contest. Now the trio will work together again, this time as hosts of Junior Eurovision 2026 next month. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

The Bangkok plane has gained another passenger on the flight to November's Eurovision Asia. Like with Malaysia & Vietnam, Laos have also opted for an internal selection to determine their artist. Thinla will be the one to sing for her country in 2 months. #EurovisionAsia #ESCA2026 #EuroDen

You are now looking at the official list of participating countries for the first ever Eurovision Song Contest Asia. It's too late for any more nations to join. These 11 countries will be making the trip to Bangkok, Thailand for the big show in November. #EurovisionAsia #ESCA2026 #EuroDen

Last year, San Marino achieved their best ever Junior Eurovision result with Martina CRV's 9th place finish. Can they follow that up with another good result this year? Violamarie will be hoping to do just that for her country as she heads to Malta next month. #JuniorEurovision #JESC2026 #EuroDen

There is one big colorful festa loading in Malta & that's just by looking at the stage design for Junior Eurovision 2026, which was released on Monday.
