As the Eurovision stage lights up Vienna, Manila will join the celebration live.
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the Rizal Park Open-Air Auditorium will turn into a vibrant Eurovision fan zone for “Pinag-Isa ng Musika”: The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 Live Viewing Party, an overnight screening from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. streamed direct from Vienna.
Presented by the Austrian Embassy Manila, in partnership with Pilipinas Calling and with the support of the National Parks Development Committee, the free event forms part of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Austria–Philippine relations.
One of the world’s longest-running and most-watched music competitions, Eurovision has united audiences for 70 years through dazzling performances, cultural diversity, and its enduring message: “United by Music.”
This year’s contest carries special meaning for both Austria and the Philippines. Vienna is hosting Eurovision 2026 following the historic victory of Austrian-Filipino artist JJ Pietsch with “Wasted Love” — a win that returned the contest to Austria and marked the first-ever Filipino Eurovision champion.
For one night, Filipino fans, European expatriates, tourists, and music lovers can experience the spectacle in real time alongside millions of viewers around the world.
Aside from the live screening, guests can enjoy games, quizzes, karaoke, and a festive atmosphere celebrating music, friendship, and cultural diversity.
This year also marks the launch of the Eurovision Song Contest Asia, which will feature national selection shows across the region, including the Philippines, culminating in a live Grand Final in Bangkok.
