SBS has announced that Tony Armstrong will not host the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna due to a scheduling conflict with other projects. Armstrong, who was a fan favorite during the 2025 coverage, will be replaced by Danny Estrin, the frontman of the synth metal band Voyager, which represented Australia in the 2023 contest held in Liverpool. Estrin expressed his excitement for the role, stating, '2026, baby I’m back! Not as a fan, not as a performer, but as a special guest commentator alongside the fabulous Courtney Act.' The event will celebrate its 70th edition, featuring various performances, including an interval act by last year's performer, Go-Jo, who will present his novelty track 'Kangaroo'. Australia’s entry this year is expected to be by Delta Goodrem with her song 'Eclipse'.
