Dara and Lou Deleuze announced as Junior Eurovision 2026 interval acts

Dara and Lou Deleuze have been announced as the special interval acts for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2026. The event is scheduled to take place on October 24 at the Malta Fairs and Convention Centre in Ta’ Qali, Malta.

Dara, who secured Bulgaria’s first-ever Eurovision victory with the song ‘Bangaranga’, will perform alongside Lou Deleuze, the winner of the 2025 Junior Eurovision Song Contest representing France with ‘Ce Monde’. The appearance marks a rare moment where both a senior Eurovision winner and a Junior Eurovision winner share the stage.

Malta will host the competition for the third time, following previous hosting duties in 2014 and 2016. The production is expected to incorporate Maltese ‘Festa’ heritage into the broadcast.
