Preparations for Greece's entry in Eurovision 2026

Artist Akylas will represent Greece at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna in 2026 with the song Ferto. The entry explores themes of greed, consumerism, and personal childhood experiences. To enhance his stage performance, Akylas confirmed he will use a headset microphone to allow for greater movement. Actress Efi Papatheodorou, known for her role as Theopoula, will appear in an upcoming music video for the song, a project suggested by Giorgos Kapoutzidis. Reports also suggest that actress Parthena Chorozidou may join Akylas on stage for a theatrical performance. Klavdia has been officially selected to announce the Greek jury's 12 points during the contest. The competition will feature 35 participating countries, including the host nation Austria and the 'Big Four' countries. Akylas emphasizes that the song carries a message of gratitude and reflects his personal journey from deprivation to success.
