I also think some artists mix up what the audience voting go for, sex doesn’t sell (ich komme, Kant, milkshake, whatever Olly song for UK)…but sexy does (slomo, half the Cyprus entries)

To mark 10 years since the release of her iconic Eurovision entry Sound of Silence, Dami is dropping a very special anniversary version of the song, this time featuring fellow Eurovision artists Electric Fields.
The track will be released on Wednesday March 11, exactly 10 years to the day Sound of Silence was originally released.
I agree — and as a Eurovision fan, I genuinely want Australia to do well and to keep earning its place. But it’s worth remembering that we’re not a permanent member of the contest. Australia is still participating under a rolling invitation, which means our inclusion is essentially conditional and can be withdrawn if the EBU decides it’s no longer working for them.
That’s why things like consistently strong entries, respectful engagement with the contest, and audience support actually matter more for us than for most countries. We don’t have the safety net of tradition or geography to fall back on. If Australia starts underperforming, losing viewer interest, or feeling like an awkward add-on rather than a genuine part of the show, there’s nothing stopping the invitation from quietly not being renewed.
So yes, I’m fully on board with wanting us to do well — not just for bragging rights, but because continued participation depends on proving we add value to the contest. Eurovision is ultimately a TV product, and our spot at the table isn’t guaranteed forever.

The 2026 #Eurovision Live Tour has been CANCELLED. All tickets will be refunded.
The European Broadcasting Union regrets to announce that we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour 2026.
We have encountered unforeseen challenges that despite the best efforts of our team, the producers, and promoters we have been unable to resolve.

The Eurovision Live Tour was announced as a new live concert experience featuring artists from the Eurovision Song Contest. According to the original announcement, the tour was scheduled to visit several European cities in summer 2026, bringing Eurovision hits to arena audiences.
However, ticket sales appear to have been weak in several cities. In addition, the line-up presented for the tour was limited compared to expectations, and ticket prices were widely considered high.

You beat me to it. Yes, look mum “nul point” in French.
This came as a bit of a surprise to me, as they were really pushing tickets up until very recently (i.e. even 2 weeks ago)
Eurovision desperately needs a circuit breaker from recent controversies, but I think this was doomed with the dire lineup they announced when tickets went on sale. The most recent winner they had was Lordi from 2006.
No shade to Guy Sebastian either. He’s great, but was hardly going to sell out arenas in Europe.

Also odd given the tour last year seems to be really successful? I guess it wasn’t Eurovision official though?
It wasn’t and in considerably smaller venues

And we have proven time and time again we have what it takes to yield a good result too, and I completely agree - when we shoehorn an artist into the contest it just fails, Jessica Mauboy being a prime example of this unfortunately..

I don’t believe it until SBS confirms it.
Also, Delta will be on a seven day tour of Fiji (April 20-26) with some of her fans, so that will leave her little time to prepare.
She was just at Mighty Hoopla tonight in Sydney. Great performance!

Yes I’ll await the SBS confirmation, but I don’t think the Fiji trip would be a showstopper. I’m sure if it’s her she’ll already be rehearsing..
I hope it is her TBH

She’s got the live performance chops but if the song isn’t right we’ll still continue our NQ streak, The song is make or break.

I have a sneaking suspicion it may be her. It would explain the set listing at Mighty Hoopla which I kinda found odd - Jessica Mauboy is overall a bigger named / better known talent, and was actually a feeder for Delta Goodrems performance. Bigger names are generally held for closer to the headliner.
Maybe I am being biased tonight, having accidentally hooked up with one of Jessica Mauboys dancers
