Delta Goodrem is through to the Grand Final

Australia's own Delta Goodrem wowed the crowd during her semi-final performance in Vienna with her new track 'Eclipse', securing her place among the 25 acts competing in tonight's Grand Finale. It was a strong and confident performance that reminded the world exactly why Goodrem is one of Australia's most celebrated artists.

Australia is one of ten countries to have advanced from the semifinals, alongside Bulgaria, Ukraine, Norway, Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Denmark and Czechia.

With the whole country watching, the pressure is on — but if her semi-final performance was anything to go by, Goodrem is more than ready for the moment.

Who won Eurovision 2025

Last year, Austrian-Filipino artist JJ won the Eurovision Song Contest with his song 'Wasted Love' , a victory that handed Austria the hosting rights for this year's contest in Vienna. Australia's 2025 entrant Go-Jo did not qualify for that year's Grand Final, making Delta Goodrem's run this year all the more exciting for Australian fans. Tonight, Australia has a real shot at making history on the Eurovision stage.
