One-off class taking place in 2026

People have until the end of January to be "Making your Mind Up" about what song you'd sing in a one-off class for the 2026 Manx Music Festival.

To mark the 70th anniversary of the international singing competition, entrants will be able to perform a Eurovision song of their choice.

Organisers say it's part of continuing efforts to keep the event fresh, with syllabus planning shaped by the most popular classes.

Festival Secretary Sandra Loach is confident the Eurovision class will strike the right note - predicting it’s guaranteed to be a favourite:

The deadline for entries is 31 January 2026 and the Manx Music Festival will run from 25 April until 2 May next year.
