Noam Bettan, Israel's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, completed his first rehearsal on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna. He performed his song 'Michelle' alongside five backup dancers.
During the rehearsal, Bettan also took time to pose for a photo with British singer Boy George, who is reportedly involved in the contest this year. The exact nature of Boy George's participation has not been confirmed by official sources.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 is scheduled to take place in Vienna, Austria, following the country's victory in the 2025 edition. The event will feature participants from over 30 countries, with the grand final set for May 16, 2026.
Bettan's song 'Michelle' was selected through a national competition in Israel earlier this year. The singer has expressed confidence in his performance, though official reactions from the rehearsal have not been released by the European Broadcasting Union.
