Delta Goodrem is officially through to the Eurovision Song Contest grand final.
The Sydney-born singer-songwriter has secured Australia a spot in this weekend’s decider in Vienna after performing her track “Eclipse” this morning.
Check out Goodrem’s performance below.
Australia is one of ten countries that have advanced to the grand final, including Bulgaria, Ukraine, Norway, Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Denmark and Czechia.
The closest Australia ever came to taking out the Eurovision Song Contest came in 2016 through Dami Im, who finished in second place. But appearing on a recent episode of the Rolling Stone Uncut podcast, Goodrem seems confident to go one better.
“We’ll give it a good go!” she said.

“To have everyone come together for an iconic [event]… where you’ve had ABBA, Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John, Måneskin, just phenomenal artists that have been a part of music all these years, for me, in other moments it might not have been right. In this moment, I was like… what a blessing to be able to have that moment in time to go up there.
“But I’m so grateful, and it’s an amazing special moment.”
Earlier this week, the multi-ARIA Award-winning artist announced her eighth studio album, Pure, her first with major label Universal Music after departing Sony Music Australia in 2023.
“I am so excited to be stepping into this new chapter and joining forces with Universal Music,” Goodrem said. “It marks the beginning of a powerful new home for ATLED Records – something I am incredibly proud of – and I can’t wait to share what we create together.”
The grand final will commence at 5am AEST on Sunday morning (May 17th).
The Eurovision Song Contest airs from 13-17 May exclusively on SBS and SBS On Demand.
