Latvia kicked off its annual Supernova circus tonight — the show that heroically tries, year after year, to remind Europe that the country does, in fact, still exist on the Eurovision map.

Sound mix? Patchy. Camera cuts? Experimental. Audience mics? Possibly installed by the lowest bidder. But somehow, amid the technical quirks and confused dancersand at least one confused viewer at OnEurope towers, there was a faint pulse of optimism. Maybe 2026’s Supernova will find that elusive “it” moment once more?
