Previewing the second half of Eurovision 2026 Semi Final 2

JOY’s in Vienna, and it’s perfect timing too! With the Second Semi on its way, it’s time to finish previewing it.

Michael and Bryan share their thoughts live from Vienna. You may think they’re in a bad hotel bathroom, but echoey surfaces are just the Viennese way. Don’t worry – we’ll find a better cocoon for the Grand Final preview.

You can enjoy the second Semi Final live on SBS and On Demand on Friday 15 May at 5am (AEST) and in prime time (with some added extras) on Saturday 16 May at 7:30pm (AEST).

In this episode:

• Plan the exit strategy if Delta doesn’t qualify
• Hope that language isn’t a curse for some
• Wonder how much money Malta has
