Early images reveal a staging concept that blends lightning, graphics and a carefully designed visual setting to support the song’s message. The Cyprus team will return for a second rehearsal on Tuesday, where additional details are expected to emerge. Junior Eurovision 2026 will take place in Malta on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
