Netta’s Eurovision Curse: Why Her Prediction Means Vienna Will Probably Host in 2026
A Morning Reveal
The official announcement is expected tomorrow morning between 8am and 9am – prime time for bleary-eyed Eurofans to refresh their phones before coffee. The choice is between two Austrian contenders: Vienna, a capital with pedigree, and Innsbruck, the alpine underdog.
Six for Six (in the Wrong Direction)
Netta’s knack for misfires has turned into Eurovision folklore. Every time she names a city, you can safely bet on the other. Exhibit A:
- 2019 – Predicted Jerusalem. Reality: Tel Aviv.
- 2021 – Predicted Amsterdam. Reality: Rotterdam.
- 2022 – Predicted Rome. Reality: Turin.
- 2023 – Predicted Manchester. Reality: Liverpool.
- 2024 – Predicted Stockholm. Reality: Malmö.
- 2025 – Predicted Geneva. Reality: Basel.
At this point, it’s less a streak and more a public service.
Enter Innsbruck… Exit Innsbruck?
This year, Netta has once again blessed fans with her “prediction”: she’s backing Innsbruck. Which, by Eurovision logic, might as well be the kiss of death for the Tyrolean capital. If the trend continues, Vienna will be polishing its sequins for May 2026.
A Seventh Wrong Guess?
Could Netta finally break the curse, or will she cement her status as Eurovision’s most beloved anti-prophet? Either way, the tradition is now part of the pre-announcement ritual: wait for Netta, nod knowingly, and expect the opposite.
Tomorrow morning, around 8–9am, we’ll know for certain. Until then, Innsbruck fans may want to start practising disappointment.
