Ferto by Akylas has won Greece's pre-selection for Vienna 2026

We had started out with 28 songs in the Greek national final, but after two semi-finals earlier in the week, Sing For Greece reached its conclusion on Sunday 15 February, with 14 entries competing to represent the country in Vienna.

Points were awarded to the songs on the night via three sources: a jury vote (25%), an international jury vote (25%) and a public vote (50%).

After receiving the top points from all three sets of scores, the winning entry is Ferto, performed by Akylas.

Ferto will now represent Greece at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.

Akylas

A young, dynamic artist with an authentic sound and strong stage presence, Akylas became widely known in 2024 thanks to the hit single Atelié.

A self-made musician from Serres, Akylas studied at the Serres Music School and honed his performance skills further through theatrical workshops. After moving to Athens, he started to stand out online via his viral covers on TikTok.

Since then, he's built a reputation as a great performer, shaping a multicultural, contemporary sound with a Greek identity.

Ferto was composed by Akylas, Papatanice and TEO.x3, with lyrics by Akylas and Orfeas Nonis.

Akylas will perform Ferto for Greece in the First Half of the First Semi-Final on Tuesday 12 May.
