Check out our interview with Agridoce here!
In the interview, Rory and Agridoce chatted about how the girls had come together as a project, how the song was not even finished when they submitted it to Festival da Canção and whether they will release any new music in the future. The trio also discuss their decision to support the artists’ boycott against Eurovision this year and what is next for themselves individually.
Who are Agridoce?
Agridoce is a three-piece girl group made up of Guida, Joana and Sofia, living across Portugal. The girls first met at a songwriting camp, where they created the song they sent to RTP for this year’s competition. All three girls are doing their own solo projects and are planning to release more music, both as a group and as individuals. Their song for Festival da Canção 2026, “Onde Quero Estar”, was written by Joana Banza, Margarida Castanheira, Pedro Agostinho, Sofia Jorge and Tiago Alves.
Portugal’s Eurovision journey
Portugal debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest with António Calvário’s “Oração” in 1964. Since then, Portugal has participated in the competition 55 times – appearing the final 46 times. Their only win in the competition came in 2017 with Salvador Sobral, performing his heart-wrenching song “Amar Pelos Dois”.
Portugal’s most recent participation was with NAPA with the song “Deslocado”. The band managed to qualify for the Grand Final and once there, they finished in 21st place. They received a total of 50 points, of which 37 points came from the jury and 13 points came the televote.
