Armenia to host Eurovision Young Musicians 2026

Armenia will host the Eurovision Young Musicians 2026 competition, showcasing the finest classical artists in the 12 to 21 age range and helping to launch their international careers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Public Television Company of Armenia report.

Armenia first joined the competition in 2012 with kanun player Narek Kazazyan and then, after a 12-year break, returned in 2024 with Hayk Hekekyan on the oboe.

Held every other year since 1982, the event was last hosted by Norway.
