Here’s the thing: Intervision isn’t your average talent show. Forget the usual reality TV formula. This competition is more about culture, art, and connection than just who hits the highest note. Artists bring their identities, their stories, even their local traditions, and toss them on a global stage.

The first edition in Moscow had over 20 countries competing. There were twists, too, like the American contestant who backed out at the last minute. Drama? Check. Then you had Vietnam’s Duc Phuc stealing the show with a song that mashed pop, rap, and electronic beats. Seriously, who does that and wins? That guy.

Saudi Talent Shines Bright

Saudi Arabia didn’t just show up for the selfies. Zeina Emad represented the Kingdom with Just a Concern, a song that was personal, humane, and oddly global at the same time. Saudi is sending the kind of voice that’s rooted locally but reaches globally. 

Why Intervision Is Different

Ever felt bored at a music competition? Yeah, Intervision isn’t that. Cuban rumba, African folk, Gulf melodies, Russian patriotic songs, all on one stage, back-to-back. It’s chaotic, colourful, and utterly fascinating. Each performance is a cultural window. You don’t just watch music; you travel without a plane ticket.

More countries, more artists, more surprises. The event is expected to be bigger next year. Riyadh plans to sprinkle local magic throughout the show, think Saudi rhythms, theatrical lighting, and visuals that hit harder than you’d expect.

And here’s a kicker: this isn’t just culture for culture’s sake. It’s part of Vision 2030. Arts, tourism, and the economy are all tied together. Intervision 2026 will attract visitors, spark creativity, and make Riyadh feel like a real global hub for music and entertainment.
