With a month to go until the Eurovision Song Contest celebrates its 70th anniversary, SBS has unveiled the star-studded line-up of Australian performers set to appear on our screens.

Already announced as Australia’s representative for this year’s competition, Delta Goodrem will enter with her song, Eclipse. Meanwhile, last year’s entrant, Go-Jo, hailing from Western Australia, is scheduled to shake things up as an interval act during Semi-Final 1.

In terms of commentary, this year’s line-up is stunning. Multi-hyphenate entertainer and global icon Courtney Act will present the exclusive commentary on SBS alongside former Australian representative for Eurovision, Voyager vocalist Danny Estrin.

Coverage of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will air on SBS and SBS On Demand from Wednesday, 13 to Sunday, 17 May.

After a successful inaugural year co-hosting SBS’ coverage of Eurovision alongside Tony Armstrong in 2025, Courtney Act returns this year.

“Eurovision never fails to give me butterflies,” Act said. “The 70th anniversary in Vienna, the city where Australia’s story in this contest began, feels like the most spectacular place to celebrate how far we’ve all come.

“I’m gonna call it now: Delta is going to be in the final. I’m predicting the kind of fever-pitch excitement we saw when the Matildas took the World Cup by storm. If Delta does what I know she’s capable of, Sunday morning in Australia is going to be absolutely unhinged. Let’s bring home that trophy.”

Estrin, the keytar-wielding frontman of Perth prog-metal band Voyager, whose band finished ninth in the 2023 competition with their anthemic number, Promise, has expressed delight at commentating alongside Act this year.

“From watching Eurovision as a child, hosting Eurovision parties at uni, attending it as a fan, to being a performer with Voyager in 2023 was already a phenomenal journey,” Estrin said.

“To be a special guest this year with the formidably fabulous Courtney Act is an honour and a dream come true! I can’t wait to immerse myself in the Eurovisionnation once more for Vienna 2026 and lose my voice shouting for our very own amazing Delta to make us proud!”

SBS Head of Entertainment, Emily Griggs, added, “This year’s 70th Eurovision celebrations are a chance to lean into the contest, returning to Vienna where Australia first competed in 2015.

“With Courtney’s long list of achievements, we know audiences are in safe hands, and the addition of Danny brings first-hand experience of what it means to represent Australia at the world’s largest live music event. And with our Eurovision spokesperson still to be announced, there's more for fans to be excited about.”
