SBS, the Australian national broadcaster, has unveiled the 2025 Aussie Eurovision act and entry.
Go Jo will have the grand honour of representing Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel with ‘Milkshake Man‘.
Australia has opted for an internal election in order to determine its Eurovision act and entry for Basel.
Go-Jo says:
The Milkshake Man’s purpose is to inspire people to embrace the loudest and proudest version of themselves, and I can’t think of a better place to share that message than the Eurovision stage! It’s an absolute dream come true to represent such a beautiful and diverse nation, and I’ve never been more excited to share my art and vision with the incredible Eurovision fans around the world!
Emily Griggs (SBS Head of Entertainment) says:
To mark 10 years of Australia participating in Eurovision, we wanted to do something that was out of the box! SBS is beyond excited to introduce Go-Jo to the Eurovision stage with his infectious song, Milkshake Man – a track that’ll have you dancing and humming non-stop! His vibrant energy, undeniable passion, and collaboration with Sheppard make this entry truly special. Watching Go-Jo live was unforgettable and the crowd were so involved. Europe won’t be able to resist falling for him.
Paul Clarke (Australia’s Creative Director for Basel ) says:
From the first moment we saw Go-Jo on stage, we realised he had a unique connection with audiences, and we know he’ll get a lot of love from the Eurovision community. This year, we are celebrating Australia’s 10th Eurovision entrant, and this one will go off with a bang (or should we say slurp!) Milkshake Man is a fresh sound and style for us in Eurovision, and we’re thrilled with this track from Go-Jo and the legendary Sheppard songwriting team.
Australia at Eurovision
Australia was invited to compete at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, as a one off participation but the country embraced the competition with such enthusiasm that they have been invited to return every year since. The Aussies achieved their best result in the contest in 2016 when Dami Im nearly walked away with the Grand Prix with her entry Sound of silence, placing 2nd in Stockholm.
Our neighbours down under have enjoyed much success in the competition having achieved four top 10 placings in their ten year Eurovision history.
In 2024 Electric Fields represented Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden with their entry ‘One Milkali’.
