Australia has suffered a brutal early exit at Eurovision 2024, with our entry failing to make it past the first semi-final this morning and secure a place in the Grand Final.
Australia just crashed out of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest at the first hurdle, meaning we won’t have a presence at Sunday’s grand final .
Australia’s entry this year is electronic music duo Electric Fields, aka vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and keyboard player and producer Michael Ross., was an uplifting dance floor anthem sung partly in the Indigenous language Yankunytjatjara – but it wasn’t enough to see them join the ten acts progressing to the Eurovision Grand Final from today’s semi-final. Their performance landed them in the bottom six out of the 16 acts that performed.
Our debut entry, Guy Sebastian, finished fifth in 2015, while a year later Dami Im gave us our best result to date, placing second. Since then we’ve had top ten placings with Isaiah , Kate Miller-Heidke and last year with rockers Voyager .‘She was magic’: Grease star dead at 72 Electric Fields’ placing is the worst result for Australia since that of singer Montaigne, who fell victim to the pandemic two years in a row: The 2020 contest was cancelled, and when Montaigne re-entered the next year, Covid restrictions meant they had to perform from a studio in Australia, and failed to qualify for the grand final.The UK pop star has revealed the brutal toll of a viral meme that made fun of her dancing - which saw her quit social media.
