The Australian act who will take part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 has been chosen. The update was confirmed by public broadcaster SBS.
Further information on Australian act to be released soon
In an update released on their website, SBS confirmed the Australian representative had now been chosen. On top of this, submissions for songs had also been closed by the broadcaster.
SBS went on to reveal that further information on who the act is will be released soon. The artist will be revealed within the EBU’s deadline.
Australia reverted back to an internal selection in 2023 after three editions of Australia Decides. The last edition took place in 2022, before funding for the national selection was cut.
As well as this, SBS opened a submissions window for their participation at Eurovision 2026. Australian participation for next year’s Contest is yet to be confirmed by the EBU itself.
Australia’s Eurovision journey
The most recent country to debut into the Eurovision Song Contest, Australia debuted in 2015. Guy Sebastian represented the land down under with his entry “Tonight Again” in Vienna, where they placed 5th. Since their debut, they have participated every single year of the competition.
Australia internally selected Electric Fields to represent them in 2024 with the song “One Milkali (One Blood)”. The band ultimately failed to reach the Grand Final, placing eleventh in the first semifinal with 41 televote points.
