At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will take place at Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, and will consist of two semi-finals to be held on the respective dates of 12 and 14 May and the final on 16 May 2026.[5] During the allocation draw held on 12 January 2026, Luxembourg was drawn to compete in the first half of the second semi-final on 14 May 2026.[6]
Controversy
Mother Nature has drawn controversy as some people have pointed out similarities between it and "Keeping Your Head Up" by Birdy. RTL is consulting with partners about this Jeff Spielmann, the Media Manager for Luxembourg in Eurovision told the newspaper that: ”It’s a fact that the song ‘Mother Nature’ was written last year by the composers together with the artist during the songwriting camp at the Rockhal, and that Birdy’s song in no way served as a template. On 11 February 2026 the song was cleared for Eurovision participation.In a statement to L’Essentiel, Jeff Spielmann, Head of Media for Luxembourg, confirmed that. “Preperation for the contest in Austria are continuing as normal. We arrived at the conclusion that no other measures are needed at the moment. The current version will not change much. Therefore there won’t be a new song”.[7]
