#1. 🇦🇺 Australia: Go-Jo – Milkshake Man
- The performance is heavily influenced by the 1970s and 1980s era.
- Go-Jo wears a white suit with a red-striped collar and a red cravat. 2 dancers accompany him and wear red and white striped dresses.
- The performance features a big prop: a large milkshake cup “filled” with 2 blue drinking straws
- The performance starts with an effect visible only for the television viewers: Go-Jo will appear as a salesperson in a retro style.
- The performance has a retro charm and contentious energy. The lighting is mostly of neon elements.
- We will have a quick outfit change during the performance. The outfit beneath is light blue overall with starry elements.
- Towards the middle of the performance, the lighting will create an exploding color effect. The LED screens show the writing “MILKSHAKE MAN”.
- At certain point, he will remain with an exposed chest.
- After the “Sweet, Sweet, Yum, Yum” part, the LED screens will be filled with graphics, and the scene will be more of a pink neon party.
#2. 🇲🇪 Montenegro: Nina Žižić – Dobrodošli
- Nina wears a white dress with a long train. It also features a panel of structured fabric that creates a circular frame. The circular element spans from her knees to above her head.
- Nina is alone on stage, her eyes will be covered in a mask, which will be removed in the first chorus. Her makeup was classic and features a red bold lipstick.
- Nina won’t stay in the same place throughout the song. She starts the performance in the center, and later moves to the rectangular front frame.
- The performance relies on multiple camera shots, as well as bold lighting. The LED walls show white, gray, and blue light and graphics, including some swirl shapes.
- One captivating moment is when the LED walls show weight scales (like librea) growing on top of her head, and “melting” to the LED floor.
- In addition, we can see person shadows, a kind of white rainbow
- The performance features low white fog, close to the floor.
#3.🇮🇪 Ireland: EMMY – Laika Party
- The performance has changed since the Irish “Eurosong 2025”.
- Emmy is accompanied by her brother Erlend on the keyboards, and 4 female dancers.
- Emmy wears a silver metallic dress with a pleated skirt, silver boots, and a helmet-like hood. Her brother wears a silver shirt with a star decoration, gray pants, and sunglasses. Her dancers wear silver pants and black/silver vests.
- Emmy started the performance standing on a shiny metal lunar-shaped platform in the center of the stage.
- Location-wise, the four dancers dance in front of Erlend
- The floating bones aren’t part of the performance anymore. Instead, we have marching space dogs in each “Bam Bam” humming. The LED walls present neon planets.
- In the first chorus, we can see dancing “humanized” dogs dancing in colorful light blue and pink cubes.
- In the second chorus, we can see the shape of Laika coming out of the stars.
- The final chorus features fireworks jets.
#4. 🇱🇻 Latvia: Tautumeitas – Bur man laimi
- The main changes are in the lighting and customers, compared to the staging in “Supernova 2025“.
- The band members wear matching gold catsuits with natural decorations (like branches and leaves) and golden shiny gloves. They have gold headdresses that change colors along the song.
- The main prop is the beautiful curtain we’ve already seen. The golden colors from “Supernova” are more silvery and cold (like gray, blue, green), but we still have some gold and orange moments.
- During the performance, they go behind and in front of the curtain. This unifies them as one magical creature, which later appears to be 6 different figures.
- The lighting is more dramatic and powerful, which helps present the shadows more boldly. Part of the added effect creates a kind of tail. This helps to convey the forest theme and the fairy atmosphere. Tautumeitas have to be very precise in their positions on stage to complete the shadow effects accurately.
- The performance features low fog as well.
#5. 🇦🇲 Armenia: PARG – Survivor
- The performance has completely changed since “Depi Evratesil 2025”.
- Parg wears a black sleeveless vest and studded black leather pants. He is alone on stage.
- In the second rehearsal, Parg chose to perform shirtless.
- The stage is quite dark, and the atmosphere is more dramatic. Some lights are lowered just above Parg’s head, while others are as high as the arena’s roof.
- He starts the performance between the beams of light, while the lights move with the bass beats
- The main prop here is a treadmill, which is located in the middle front frame.
- He runs during the choruses and slows down for the other parts. Part of his treadmill routine features a non-basic choreography. He id walking along, running and jumping,
- Towards the end, the lights wall opens and puts the scene in a different visionary space.
- The song ends with a pyro effect of big flames. In the chorus before the bridge, flame jets appear on stage.
#6. 🇦🇹 Austria: JJ – Wasted Love
- JJ wears a long black leather coat with metal accents, and will be alone on stage.
- The main prop is a boat (looks like it’s made of crates) with a wooden mast and a white sail. JJ will be on the boat throughout the performance.
- The performance is meant to be broadcast in black and white only. Lighting will be mostly used for lights and shadows. The lights will change based on the drama delivered in the song.
- Another prop on stage is wind machines. They will blow powerfully, and sometimes it will look like JJ fighting to stay stable.
- He is clinging to the mast as a storm begins in the second chorus. He performs some choreography with the wind, which is in the style of modern dance.
- The performance features smart camera artwork, alongside the wind, and different angles.
- In the last upbeat 20 seconds, we see waves and storm clouds building on the LED screen, spinning camerawork, flashing strobe lights.
- The performance ends with an overhead camera, while a swirl fills the LED floor. While this happens, a tall lighthouse appears on the LED wall and represents the hope for a better story.
#7. 🇬🇷 Greece: Klavdia – Asteromáta
- Klavdia wears a long, black dress, the fitted gown that sparkles with tiny jewels.
- Klavdia starts the performance standing on a pier. She walks along the pier during the first verse.
- The main element on stage is a rocket. Klavdia is stepping towards the rocket, and once she reaches it, she performs the rest of the song on top of it.
- The female dancer joins her during the second verse. They have drifted away of the pier, and Klavdia remained alone.
- There are multiple LED and light effects, as well as professional camera artwork, along with the performance. Some of the camera shots are overhead, which enhances the drama created by the LED effects (water, burning trees, and volcanic landscapes).
- The video art is rich and impressive, showing visuals like stormy waters, winds, flying birds, as well as red water and lava.
- The peak point of the performance is when the singer raises her arm, and the blue lights sweep across the set. The performance ends with slowly lowered descending lights.
#8.🇱🇹 Katarsis – Tavo akys
- The performance remained very faithful to the original one in the national selection.
- The scene is quite dark, and the band members wear blue uniforms. Graphic elements like a bleak landscape, flying rocks, and an exploding house appear here as well, but on a larger scale.
- The Basel performance also features more waves and water elemnts
- Katarsis utilizes a bigger stage in Basel, and therefore, they are more spread out on the stage.
- The main difference (compared to the Lithuanian selection) is the use of lights and shadows. For example, the camera focuses on Lukas’s face, while half of it is covered by shadow.
- The performance is most dynamic as they move on stage. In the second verse, Lukas and the 2 guitarists move down to the frame stage.
- The performance is generally served in a brighter theme, while the mysterious atmosphere is preserved.
- Towards the end, the lights descend and create a gradual light effect that converts to a wings-like view around Lukas. The song ends with flickering strobe lights in each “Tavo” becoming a vivid white flashlight.
#9. 🇲🇹 Malta: Miriana Conte – Serving

- Towards the end, Miriana and the dancers are close to the main rectangular frame, where they will be on the red Swiss balls.
