After weeks of radio silence, Armenia has revealed its act for Eurovision 2026. Public broadcaster AMPTV has revealed that Simón will represent the nation in Vienna with the song “Paloma Rumba”.
Armenia chooses Simón internally

Now, after weeks of waiting, Simón has been revealed as Armenia’s act, making them the last confirmed artist of the 2026 season.
