Eva Marija wins Luxembourg Song Contest 2026

This year marks the third year Luxembourg has been back in Eurovision since returning in 2024 after a 30 year absence. With the success of Luxembourg Song Contest 2024 and 2025, Luxembourgish broadcaster RTL has opted for the national final route again to determine their Eurovision 2026 entrant.

Luxembourg Song Contest 2026 (LSC 2026) saw eight acts perform their songs tonight. After all the performances took places and two rounds of votes were counted, it became official: Eva Marija wins LSC 2026 with "Mother Nature"

"Mother Nature" was written by Eva Puc, Julie Aagaard, Maria Broberg, and Thomas Stengaard.

Luxembourg Song Contest 2026 was held at Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette and was hosted by Hana Sofia Lopes, Loïc Juchem, and Raoul Roos. Voting to determine the winner was split between and international jury and online voting.

Tonight's show started off with an opening number featuring last years winner, JJ performing his winning Eurovision 2025 song, Wasted Love.

Laura Thorn also took the LSC 2026 stage with her Eurovision 2025 song, La poupée monte le son, alongside some kids in the You Can Sing Contest.

Eurovision 1986 winner Sandra Kim performed her Eurovision classic, J'aime La Vie as well.

Iceland's 2025 Representatives Væb also gave us a great show, with performing their song "RÓA".

Eva Marija will wave Luxembourg's flag in Vienna during Semi-final 2 on 14 May and looks to continue Luxembourg's 100% qualification streak to the Grand Final.

Eva Marija

At age 3, Eva Puc fell in love with the violin after watching Alexander Rybak’s Eurovision winning Fairytale. She pursued a multi-disciplinary path at the Luxembourg City Conservatoire, studying violin, singing, piano, and bass guitar across genres from jazz and classical to pop/rock.

Born and raised in Luxembourg to Slovenian parents, she remains connected to both cultures. Performing since age 14, she’s currently studying songwriting in London.

Eva met her team at the Rocklab Camp: Swedish singer-songwriter Maria Broberg (Maria Mathea) and two Danes, songwriter Julie Aagaard and producer Thomas Stengaard.

Eva recalls:

– There was a really special energy and flow within our group. We based the song on the feeling of childhood, when you’d be playing carefree within parks and forests

– Mother Nature uses nature as a symbol of hope, freedom and groundedness. It calls to reconnect with your inner child and let go of your fears.
