Vienna 2026. The First Post

Welcome to the Vienna Collection 2026, not to be confused with The Vienna Collection.

To be honest inspiration is at a low point but I don't want to end a decades old passion of mine because I'm disappointed by the goings on right now.

Is Eurovision dying? Ticket sales say no but participation is low. Our beloved contest has been in danger a few times in history and always managed to crawl back up.

I hope some sensible people will do their best to save this fantastic tradition, make it less about social media and money maybe.

Anyway, 35 countries will have a song and here you'll find their versions and releases. In a basic version, like last year.

Mega thanks to Rick!, can't do it without you.

I will be adding to the pages in the coming weeks, please be patient.
