Bulgaria confirms 'Bangaranga' by DARA as Eurovision 2026 entry

Following DARA's selection as performer in January, Bulgaria has chosen 'Bangaranga' as her song for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. The winner emerged from a national final on February 28 organized by broadcaster BNT, where DARA performed three tracks and 'Bangaranga' topped jury and public votes.

In the final stage of Bulgaria's Eurovision 2026 selection, held on February 28, DARA—previously chosen as the artist representative after winning the January national final—performed three songs: 'This Is Me,' 'Curse,' and 'Bangaranga.' 'Bangaranga' received the highest combined scores from jury and public votes, securing its place as Bulgaria's entry.

Written by Anne Judith Wik, Cristian Tarcea, Darina Nikolaeva Yotova, and Dimitris Kontopoulos, 'Bangaranga' is set for the first half of the second semi-final on May 14, 2026, in Vienna, Austria.

This completes Bulgaria's preparations following DARA's artist selection, marking the country's return to the contest.
