At the Eurovision in Concert 2026 press conference this weekend, Tetiana had the chance to chat with Bzikebi, who will represent Georgia at Eurovision 2026 with the song “On Replay”.
Check out our interview with Bzikebi here!
In the new interview, they talk about their time in Amsterdam, what one thing they will definitely take to Vienna, and we also learn about their other professions.
Who are Bzikebi?
Bzikebi is a three-piece musical group made up of Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Tatulashvili and Mariam Kikuashvili. The band formed in 2008 to represent Georgia at Junior Eurovision in Limassol, Cyprus. The group won, giving Georgia its first of four Junior Eurovision wins. The band have sporadically released music together, but have since carried on with their own solo projects, before reuniting for Eurovision 2026.
Georgia’s Eurovision journey
Georgiaโs history in Eurovision has been mixed since they began competing in 2007, represented by Sopho Khalvashi with “Visionary Dream”. Their highest placements โ both coming in 9th โ were achieved in 2010 and 2011, with Sopho Niharadze performing Shine and Eldrine with One More Day. They have not qualified for the final since 2016, when they were represented by Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz with Midnight Gold.
For 2025, GPB selected Mariam Shengelia to represent Georgia with her song “Freedom”. In Basel, Georgia failed to qualify for the final, earning 28 points in the semi-final, ultimately placing fifteenth.
