AIDAN's Eurovision 2026 Journey

According to Novyny.live: Malta has selected singer AIDAN as its representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, to be held in Vienna this May. He will perform the song 'Bella', which won the national selection with a score of 283 points. The Maltese selection process featured 12 competing artists, with AIDAN securing the highest total.

Malta's Eurovision Track Record

Malta made its Eurovision debut in 1971 and has since participated 36 times. Notably, the island nation has never won the contest, though it has achieved its best results with two second-place finishes:

• In 2002 with the song '7th Wonder'
• In 2005 with the composition 'Angel'

AIDAN himself is no stranger to the competition, having placed second in Malta's 2022 national final with his song 'Ritmu', demonstrating his consistent appeal.

In 2025, AIDAN performed for a crowd of over 10,000 fans at Malta's largest arena. Following the announcement of his Eurovision 2026 selection, he expressed his gratitude:

"A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me and worked with me on this journey that began five years ago. It is a tremendous honor to win MESC 2026 and represent Malta. I will do my absolute best to make you all proud and to bring something fresh to the Eurovision stage."

AIDAN's participation is a significant event for both the artist and Malta, which aims to improve its standing in the international competition. His victory in the national selection underscores his growing popularity and renews hope for a strong showing in Vienna. Given his prior achievements, particularly his 2022 runner-up finish, expectations are high that AIDAN will aim to surpass his previous results on the European stage. The Eurovision Song Contest is a major cultural event watched by millions, where a strong performance can significantly boost an artist's international profile.
