Akylas recently made a significant impact at the Grand Final of the Serbian show 'Pesma za Evroviziju 2026', performing his song 'Ferto' as a special guest. His dynamic appearance not only thrilled the Serbian audience but also showcased the vibrant and modern essence of Greek music to an international platform. The event took place on February 28, 2026, and was part of the selection process for Serbia's representative at Eurovision 2026.

During his visit to Serbia, Akylas participated in various media engagements, discussing his song 'Ferto' and the importance of the Greek representation at the Eurovision Song Contest. His performance was not just limited to Serbia; a snippet was also aired on Germany's ARD channel during their own national final, 'Eurovision Song Contest – Das Deutsche Finale', indicating the cross-border appeal of the song and Akylas as an artist. This exposure is expected to enhance his recognition beyond Greece and Serbia.

The Eurovision competition is not only a platform for musical talents but also an opportunity for cultural exchange. Akylas's presentation of 'Ferto' aims to bridge these cultural gaps by bringing the energy and contemporary sounds of Greek music to a wider audience, including fans in Germany, further demonstrating the interconnectedness of Eurovision participants. This visibility could potentially increase support for Akylas in the upcoming competition, highlighting the importance of performance and representation in such international events.
