Several LGBT+ artists are participating in the 2026 edition. They represent their countries with pride and talent. Here are five artists you shouldn't miss this year.

Søren Torpegaard Lund represents Denmark in the competition. He's an openly gay artist and very committed. His music blends modern pop with powerful personal lyrics.

Eurovision has always been a welcoming space for LGBT+ people. Artists like Dana International have shaped the contest's history. She won in 1998 as a transgender woman.

Conchita Wurst also made an impact in 2014. Her victory sent a powerful message across Europe. She represented the freedom to be yourself without shame.

Loreen won twice for Sweden. She's an icon within the LGBT+ community. Her support for queer people's rights is well known.

This year, the contest continues this wonderful tradition. LGBT+ artists bring colour and emotion. They show that music unites people who are different.
