Ruslana and Jamala will perform at a major Eurovision pre-party in Bucharest

Two Ukrainian Eurovision winners—Ruslana and Jamala—will take the stage at the Eurovision Pre-Party Bucharest 2026, which will take place on April 18 in the Romanian capital.

The event will be a key highlight for Eurovision fans in Eastern Europe and the first large-scale pre-party in the region in recent years.

The Ukrainian artists’ participation is part of their busy Eurovision season. Jamala has already served as a judge in the national selections in Moldova and Austria, while Ruslana has done so in Germany.

In addition to the Ukrainian stars, well-known Romanian artists will also perform on stage, including Monica Angel, Paula Seling, and Ovi, as well as representatives from the countries participating in Eurovision 2026.

The organizers note that the event aims to revive the tradition of large Eurovision parties in Eastern Europe and become the main venue for fans and artists ahead of the contest.

Recently, singer Alla Pugacheva put her Moscow apartment up for sale after leaving the country.
