LRT has revealed that Lion Ceccah is joined in Vienna by four backing singers for his performance at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna.
Justinas Stanevičius, Justa Rubežiūtė, Greta Paukštė and Diana Anisko are accompanying Lion Ceccah at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, providing live backing vocals for “Sólo Quiero Más”. Among the backing singers, Justa tried to represent Lithuania at Eurovision 2023 with “When I’ll Find You” with Diana Anisko being a backing vocalist for two acts in the Lithuanian selection in 2023 and 2026.
The rules of the Eurovision Song Contest have, since 2021, allowed for backing vocals to be pre-recorded. However, Lithuania is one of a handful of countries that have opted to use live backing vocals for their performance, including Estonia and Finland.
Lion Ceccah will represent Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with “Sólo quiero más”. You can find out more about Lion Ceccah here:
