Eurovision Song Contest: Vienna 2026 is the official compilation album for the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, released by Universal Music Group in partnership with the European Broadcasting Union. The album gathers all 35 competing entries from the contest, which was held at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria — the country's third time hosting after 1967 and 2015, made possible by Austrian countertenor JJ's victory at the 2025 contest with "Wasted Love." The digital edition arrived on April 17, 2026, followed by a physical 2CD set on April 24, and a limited-edition triple vinyl pressing on May 22. The contest was presented by Victoria Swarovski and Michael Ostrowski, with two semi-finals on May 12 and 14 preceding the Grand Final on May 16.
The 70th edition drew a wide and eclectic range of entries, from Finland's Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen with the electrifying "Liekinheitin" to Australia's Delta Goodrem performing the slick midtempo ballad "Eclipse," and Italian crooner Sal Da Vinci delivering the nostalgic pop of "Per Sempre Sì." The contest's historic winner was Bulgaria's Dara with the dance-pop anthem "Bangaranga," which topped both the jury vote and the televote to finish with 516 points — the largest winning margin in Eurovision history and Bulgaria's first-ever victory in the contest after 14 prior participations. Israel's Noam Bettan ("Michelle") finished second and Romania's Alexandra Căpitănescu ("Choke Me") third, rounding out a Grand Final that drew 11,000 fans to the Wiener Stadthalle and millions more watching across Europe and beyond.
