Aiko’s Eurovision Journey
Aiko was selected to represent Czechia following her victory at ESCZ in December 2023. Her song “Pedestal” was revamped and re-released with a Eurovision version in early March with some lyric changes and a new bridge. She will perform 5th in the running order for the Second Semi-Final. Find out more about Aiko in our preview article here.
Czechia’s Eurovision History
Czechia made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, with Kabát’s “Malá dama”. However, their debut entry finished last in a 28-song semi-final, scoring only 1 point. Afterwards, this kicked off three consecutive non-qualifications, with their best result coming in 2008, finishing in second-last place. Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015. In 2016, Czechia qualified for the first time with Gabriela Gunciková’s “I Stand”.
In 2023, Vesna represented Czechia with their song “My Sister’s Crown”. Performing in the first semi-final in Liverpool, the band qualified for the final – and finished in 10th place in a field of 26 with 129 points. Of these, 94 points came from the juries and 35 points came from the televote.
