Lithuania: Lion Ceccah to Eurovision 2026 with "Sólo quiero más"
Lion Ceccah has won Eurovizija.LT and will head to Eurovision 2026 in May with "Sólo quiero más"
We have yet another national selection contest drawing to a close ahead of tomorrow's busy Super Saturday. After a long night full of performances and intervals in Vilnius concluded, that only means one thing: Lithuania has decided!
What started out with 40 artists, five heats and a wildcard round, it was shortened down tonight to 11 artists and one last show, the Final. All 11 artists performed one final time in hopes of securing enough votes to win Eurovizija.LT 2026.
When all the votes from the jury and the Lithuanian public through online voting were counted, the winner was announced: It's Lion Ceccah with "Sólo quiero más" taking the Eurovizija.LT 2026 victory.
"Sólo quiero más" was written by Aurimas Galvelis and Tomas Alenčikas.

Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest
Lithuania has taken part in the Eurovision Song Contest 25 times since its debut in 1994.
In their debut year, 1994, Lithuania finished last. Their best result is from 2006, when LT United performed the iconic song "We Are The Winners (of Eurovision)." Although they didn't win, they finished 6th.
Since the introduction of the Semi-finals in 2004, Lithuania has been in Eurovision every year, and qualified for the Grand Final 14 out of 21 times.
With Estonia's victory in 2001 (Everybody) and Latvia's victory in 2002 (I Wanna), Lithuania is the only Baltic country that hasn't won the Eurovision Song Contest.
