Canada to join Eurovision Song Contest
Canada will take part in next year's edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, organisers announced Wednesday, spreading the world's biggest live televised music event to the Americas.
"The European Broadcasting Union and its newest member CBC/Radio-Canada, Canada's national public broadcaster, are excited to announce that Canada will participate in the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest in Bulgaria," the EBU said in a statement.
Canada is the first new country to join Eurovision since Australia in 2015.
"While born in Europe, the contest continues to welcome the world," Eurovision director Martin Green said in a statement.
Bulgaria won Eurovision 2026 in Vienna in May with Dara's catchy floor-filler "Bangaranga" sweeping the 70th edition of the glitzy TV extravaganza.
The contest was watched by 131 million viewers.
It was announced last week that CBC/Radio-Canada had become a full member of the EBU, paving the way for its participation in Eurovision.
"We're bringing the world's largest live music event to Canadians," said CBC/Radio-Canada president Marie-Philippe Bouchard.
"Our participation... will allow Canadian talent to be showcased on one of the most storied music stages in the world."
