'As mayor of Vienna, it is very important to me that cultural events are accessible to everyone, regardless of the size of their wallet,' Ludwig said. Eurovision's finale will take place May 16 after the semi-finals are held May 12 and 14, 2026. JJ, whose winning song combined operatic, multi-octave vocals with a techno twist, and who also sings at the Vienna State Opera, won the contest in May. JJ, whose full name is Johannes Pietsch, was Austria's third Eurovision winner, after Conchita Wurst in 2014 and Udo Jurgens in 1966. The song contest is always held in the country whose singer won the competition the previous year. The last Eurovision song contest, which has been uniting and dividing Europeans since 1956, was watched by 160 million viewers. Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?
