Senhit fuels eurovision hopes with greek tour – san marino eyes second chance
Senhit, representing San Marino, is ramping up her promotional blitz for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, currently captivating audiences across Europe, and now making a splash in Greece.
A whirlwind european stop
The Sammarinese singer’s latest port of call was Athens, where she engaged in a flurry of media appearances, including a slot on ANT1’s ‘The 2Night Show’. She also connected with Antigoni, Cyrus’s Greek entrant, as she continues her preparations for Vienna. This strategic tour highlights San Marino’s commitment to the competition, a nation determined to build on recent successes.
A history of semi-final battles
San Marino’s Eurovision journey hasn’t been without its trials. Their debut in 2008 with ‘Complice’ – a collaboration with Azerbaijan – ended in a disappointing last-place finish, accumulating just five points in the semi-finals. A withdrawal followed in 2011, before a return and subsequent, consistent qualification for the final rounds, beginning in 2014. Crucially, they’ve reached the final three times in a row, most recently securing a spot for 2025. This year’s contest saw them positioned in Semi-Final One, slot number 12 – a significant opportunity to showcase ‘Superstar’ featuring Boy George.
‘Superstar’ – a european buzz
The song itself, ‘Superstar’, a collaboration with Boy George, is generating considerable buzz. Senhit’s extensive European tour, encompassing Greece, Norway, Albania, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, underscores the track’s potential. Upcoming performances in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands promise to further ignite anticipation before the May 12th Semi-Final One showdown in Vienna. It’s a calculated move – San Marino is aiming to recapture the momentum that saw them rise above the initial hurdles.
A calculated risk
While past performances haven't always yielded the desired results, the persistent presence of San Marino in the competition speaks volumes about their determination. Their strategy clearly revolves around leveraging international recognition and building a strong narrative around ‘Superstar’. The second half of Semi-Final One awaits, and the eyes of Eurovision are firmly fixed on the small but ambitious nation.
