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 Go-Jo to represent them in 2024 with the song “Milkshake Man”. He ultimately failed to reach the Grand Final, placing eleventh in the second semi-final with 41 televote points.
