Greek singer Akylas will perform "Ferto" at the Eurovision 2026 semi-final tonight in Vienna, Austria. With a captivating stage setup and high expectations for the final showdown, Akylas is ready to represent Greece on the grand Eurovision stage.

The Greek entry, featuring Akylas, is preparing for one of the most significant nights of the year's Eurovision. Akylas will take the Wiener Stadthalle stage tonight, aiming to qualify for the Saturday final. Positioned fourth in the first semi-final, the live broadcast will air on ERT1 at 22:00 local time.

"Ferto" is a narrative centered around greed, consumerism, and the human need for validation. The song’s creators aim to depict a journey from deprivation to success, emphasizing the value of human relationships and gratitude. The composition is credited to Akylas, TEO.x3, and papatanice, while the lyrics were penned by Akylas and Orfeas Nonis.

The stage performance was directed by Fotis Evangelinos, featuring a digital set with elements from video games and intense visuals. Joining Akylas on stage are Parthena Chorozidou, Michalis Michaelidis, Christos Nikolaou, and Konstantinos Makripidis. A notable highlight is the return of Eleftheria Paparizou's iconic lyre, 21 years after Greece's Eurovision victory.

According to jury rehearsals, the performance climaxes with the characteristic "FERTO" chant, with the stage graphics and Akylas's choreography already garnering positive reactions from Eurovision fans and journalists. The Greek delegation seems to be generating increased interest ahead of the critical live performance.
