Australia pins its Eurovision hopes on Delta Goodrem, the acclaimed pop star selected to represent the nation at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest.
Performance Details and Announcement
The 41-year-old singer, known for hits like “Born To Try,” performs her new single “Eclipse” at Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle in May. The event draws an estimated global audience of 160 million viewers.
Delta Goodrem expresses immense excitement about the opportunity. “I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision,” she states. “As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music, the universal language.”
She adds, “I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.”
Creative Director’s Endorsement
Australia’s Eurovision creative director, Paul Clarke, praises the choice. “Delta Goodrem is a once-in-a-generation artist,” he says. “Her elegant songwriting and unmatched vocal ability make her the perfect choice to represent Australia and eclipse the competition at the 70th anniversary of Eurovision in Vienna.”
Clarke notes, “Her song is a bold step towards the next stage of her worldwide career, and we are excited to bring her vision to life on the stage in May.”
