MESC artists announced via TVM+
The participating artists will be revealed at 17:30CET tomorrow on TVM+, Maltese broadcaster TVM’s educational and newscasting arm. The broadcast will be hosted by radio hosts Daniel Testa Spiteri and Yleina Spiteri; their news network, Magic.MT 91.7FM, was one of the first Maltese sources to release the news. The broadcast will also be available online on the official Facebook pages of Eurovision Malta and TVM, and will also feature a 10-second snippet of the participating entries that will be broadcast upon reveal.
Selected artists will perform in a semifinal of 12 songs, out of which 8 will proceed to the final on 8th February. Semifinals will occur earlier that week on the 4th and 6th of February; a semifinal draw will be held on January.
Malta’s Eurovision Journey
Malta made its Eurovision debut in 1971, with Joe Grech performing “Marija I-Maltija” (Maria from Malta), finishing 18th with 52 points. Malta did not participate in Eurovision from 1975 until 1991, when they returned with the song “Could It Be” by Paul Giordimaina and Georgina, finishing 12th with 32 points. Since then, Malta has been at every Eurovision and finished in the top 10 an impressive 12 times. Their best result is second place, which they’ve achieved twice: first in 2002, with Ira Losco’s “7th Wonder,” and again in 2005 with Chiara’s “Angel.”
Sarah Bonnici represented Malta in 2024 with her song “Loop”; she placed sixteenth in her semifinal, ultimately scoring 13 points.
