The Georgian music group Bzikebi, known for their memorable victory at Junior Eurovision 2008, is once again making headlines for their potential new role in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Junior Eurovision Success

In 2008, the members of Bzikebi were only 10 years old when they won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest held in Limassol, Cyprus. Their catchy, bee-themed song Bzz.. was performed in a unique made-up language, captivating audiences with its energy and imaginative presentation, complete with distinctive black and yellow outfits symbolizing bees.

Post-Win Career

Following their triumph, they returned to Georgia and released the album Zabuzei, which became quite popular among children nationwide. The trio—Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Tatulashvili, and Mariam Kikuashvili—became well-loved figures in Georgian music circles.

Reunion and Eurovision 2025 Interval Act

Bzikebi reunited to perform as an interval act at Junior Eurovision 2025, where they introduced a new song titled We Don't Sleep. Their performance sparked considerable excitement online, with many Eurovision fans speculating about the group's future plans.

Anticipating Vienna 2026

Fans' speculations proved well-founded as the group’s recent appearances have been interpreted as a sign they might be preparing to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest itself. This potential transition marks a significant milestone for Bzikebi as they move from Junior Eurovision winners to competitors on the main Eurovision stage, which will be held in Vienna in 2026.
