Malta has been next to rehearse at the Wiener Stadthalle today, and that means a performance (well, three) from Malta Eurovision Song Contest winner AIDAN!
AIDAN spends his time on stage either inside or walking around a giant construction that represents classic architectural design with a modern glow-up (and glow!). It’s a contender for being the biggest prop we have here in Vienna 2026, and based on what we’ve heard elsewhere, it will be!
In parts the arched structure takes on the form of a huge zoetrope, with shots from above showing us the Bellasubject of the song dancing around our performer. It’s here we also get the tornado of rose petals that is by now synonymous with Bella. It’s an idea that’s been reimagined from the national final performance and enhanced by the incredible work of a steadicam.
The Maltese singer is wearing archival Versace and cowboy boots. The outfit is on brand for AIDAN, reminiscent of the style he wore for the music video and national final performance of Bella, but this one came into existence first by quite some distance – made by the late Gianni Versace himself for a Versace collection and one of only 20 of its kind that exists in the world.
The final minute of the performance happens all in one shot, with AIDAN at one point giving the illusion of partaking in a romantic dance with the viewers. The trickery that’s been engineered into the construction means that AIDAN is rotating at a thrilling speed.
