Get ready, people.
Tomorrow morning SBS will announce the act to represent Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Eurovision is being held in Liverpool in May this year, after 2022 winners Ukraine were deemed unable to host this year’s event.
SBS held off Eurovision: Australia Decides this year, returning to a decision by the broadcaster, with producers Blink TV, to choose our 2023 representatives.
SBS previously chose acts internally from 2015 – 2018.
2023 also represents the final year Australia is guaranteed inclusion in the contest, but while our presence no doubt ruffles some feathers (making public votes challenging) our entries from SBS have also been top notch and proven we are a serious contender.
The European Broadcasting Union (of which SBS is an associate member) has also been keen to spread the Eurovision brand worldwide, and with no sign of any Asia-Pacific contest it likely means Australia would be well place for a continuation on the European stage.
SBS will announce their chosen act at 5:30am AEDT, published here for early birds tomorrow.

No surprises, it is sure to be return of Dami.
5:30am though? You’d think they’d make it a little later but will be interesting to see who’ve they’ve chosen.
To tie in with Europe & fans.
TISM 2023!
Yes please 🙂
