Eurovision 2026: First Glimpse of the Eurovision Village in Vienna!

Vienna is gearing up for the world's biggest music celebration, as ORF has unveiled the first images and creative concept of the Eurovision Village 2026.

From May 10 to 17, the iconic Rathausplatz in front of the City Hall will be transformed into a colorful hub of music, culture, and fun. The Village will be open daily from 11:00 AM until midnight, with free admission for everyone.

At the heart of the space, giant screens will broadcast the three live shows on May 12, 14, and 16, creating an open-air arena under the Viennese sky. Beyond the screenings, the program will feature concerts, DJ sets, interactive experiences, and dazzling light shows. Visitors will also have the chance to enjoy authentic Austrian cuisine through dozens of local food stalls.

The official opening is scheduled for May 10, the same day as the Opening Ceremony at Vienna's City Hall. The famous Turquoise Carpet will once again roll out—this time in a semi-circular design—giving fans the opportunity to see their favorite artists up close.

With the Wiener Stadthalle hosting the three live shows and the Eurovision Village bringing the festivities to the city center, Vienna is preparing to welcome the Eurovision community in the most spectacular way.
