On 31 March 2026, the European Broadcasting Union, Voxovation, and S2O Productions officially announced that the inaugural edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Asia will take place on 14 November 2026 at IdeaLive in Bangkok, Thailand.
As a Thai Eurofan who has followed the Eurovision Song Contest for over a decade, despite the time zone betis - elche differences, I am thrilled to see the competition finally debut in Asia, particularly in my hometown of Bangkok, a city rich in culture and diversity.
Below are some artists who I thought should potentially represent the nation that has powerful ballads and traditional-fusion electronic musics, Malaysia in this inaugural edition:
▸ Aina Abdul - Terus Hidup
▸ Aisha Retno - Jeda

Tuni Sundatang)
