Hosted by Keane Cutajar, Destiny Chukunyere and Gaia Cauchi, MESC 2026 will take place at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta’ Qali. Keane is a familiar television presenter, while Destiny and Gaia both won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, with Destiny later representing Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021.
