It was a big surprise when, sometime in 2019, it was announced that Hooverphonic would be representing Belgium. A group with an enormous track record since 1996. The group had a new female singer, so that worked out well. Meanwhile, that singer, Luka Cruysberghs, has had to make way for Geke Arnaert again. She has sung with Hooverphonic before and is now returning.
The song with which they will represent Belgium is called “The wrong place”.

Eurovision 2026
🇵🇱 National: Poland chose for Alicja
Alicja will represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest. That was announced, not in the show itself, but in the breakfast show Pytanie na Åšniadanie. Alicja will sing the song “Pray”, written and composed by herself along with Sinclair Alan Malcolm and Weronika Gabryelczyk. Alicja was already supposed to represent Poland in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. However, the corona pandemy made that impossible. final date: 7 March, results 8 MarchPlace: TVP Studio 5, WarsawHosts: Artur Orzech 1 Anastazja Wild Child     l: Anastazja MaciÄ…g & Andrzej Jaworski m: Anastazja MaciÄ…g, Andrzej Jaworski, Bruce R.F.
