According to Ukrinform, the official Eurovision website has revealed the performance order for the participants of the first and second semi-finals. Ukrainian singer Leléka will take the stage at number 12 in the second semi-final scheduled for May 14, 2026.
The Eurovision Song Contest is gearing up for an exciting year, with the first semi-final set to take place on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. This year, the competition will kick off with a performance by Moldovan artist Satoshi, who will present his song 'Viva, Moldova!'. The lineup for the first semi-final includes a diverse array of countries and talents, featuring acts from Sweden, Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Georgia, Italy, Finland, Montenegro, Estonia, Israel, Germany, Belgium, Lithuania, San Marino, Poland, and Serbia.
In the second semi-final, where Leléka will represent Ukraine, the event will begin with a performance by Bulgarian singer DARA, who will showcase her song 'Bangaranga'. The order of performances in this semi-final is as follows: Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Romania, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, France, Armenia, Switzerland, Cyprus, Austria, Latvia, Denmark, Australia, Ukraine (Leléka with her song 'Ridnym'), the United Kingdom, Albania, Malta, and Norway.
The grand final of the 70th Eurovision will take place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, promising to be a spectacular event for music lovers around the globe. Last year, the contest was won by JJ with his song 'Wasted Love', while Ukraine was represented in 2025 by the band Ziferblat with their entry 'Bird of Pray', which secured a respectable 9th place.
Leléka, who will be representing Ukraine in Vienna, officially unveiled the contest version of her song 'Ridnym' at the beginning of March this year. Vienna, hosting the contest for the third time, has already established itself as a city capable of organizing large-scale musical events.
This year is particularly significant for the Ukrainian representative, as Leléka aims not only to showcase her vocal talents but also to convey the emotions and cultural traditions of Ukraine through her music. She hopes that her performance will leave a lasting impression on the hearts of both the audience and the judges.
