Now that the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 line-up is complete, it is time for the artists and their delegations to start a European tour of preview parties in the build up to Vienna. One of the newest events on the calendar is Eurovision Pre-Party Bucharest 2026 on April 18.
🇷🇴 What is Eurovision Pre-Party Bucharest?
Returning to Eurovision with a bang, Romania is ready to party with a brand new event for the post national final lead up to the main event in Vienna. Organising the show is eMagic, TVR, AIMR and OGAE Romania.
