He’s back, baby! Two years after lighting up the Malta Eurovision stage with his fan-favourite entry Reġina, AIDAN has officially announced his return to the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2026 — and he’s coming back stronger than ever.
In a heartfelt post on social media, the Maltese superstar shared that he’s “more prepared, more certain, and more determined” this time around. Over the past two years, AIDAN says he’s been fully immersed in music — writing, rewriting and recording more than 45 new demos, chasing melodies late into the night, and rediscovering who he is as an artist.
“Malta’s Eurovision journey has been built on passion and resilience,” AIDAN wrote. “Maybe this is the moment we dare to achieve a great result again. The time to chase Malta’s dream, together.”
And it seems Malta is ready to chase it with him. AIDAN’s announcement sent social media into overdrive, with fans flooding his comment section with love, excitement and anticipation.
Even past Maltese Eurovision stars are cheering him on! Ira Losco (Malta 2002 & 2016) dropped a supportive message saying, “Best of luck! Let’s see you shine as you deserve!” while other Eurovision alumni — including Sarah Bonnici (Malta 2024) and Claudia Faniello (Malta 2017) — joined in to wish him success.
The buzz is real. With 14 number-one hits, sold-out concerts at Malta’s MFCC arena, and performances in front of crowds of 50,000 at the country’s biggest events, AIDAN is one of Malta’s most successful — and beloved — artists.
Now, as he gears up for his big MESC comeback, one question hangs in the air: Could 2026 finally be AIDAN’s year to take Malta all the way to the Eurovision Grand Final?
