The second night of the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 has brought down the curtain with extraordinary news for the Albanian public: Alis has successfully reached the Grand Final! With a powerful and deeply emotional vocal performance, our artist electrified the “Wiener Stadthalle” arena, securing Albania's ticket to the long-awaited Saturday night.
“Nân” electrifies the stage.
Alis gave a brilliant performance that immediately caught the attention of the hall and millions of viewers across Europe. With a confident and energetic performance, he managed to create one of the most beautiful moments of the evening.
