Eurovision 2023 Semi Final 2: qualifiers

Australia’s Voyager has qualified for the Final at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The Perth band rocked the stage with their 80’s themed Promise, the final act to perform in Semi Final Two.

Also qualifying is Sydney vocalist Andrew Lambrou representing Cyprus.

Voyager said: “We’re absolutely ecstatic to be representing our beautiful country of Australia as we power through to the Grand Final. The good will from back home and love from our fans worldwide really helped us put on the performance of our lives tonight, and now we’re even more energised to smash it in the Grand Final.”

Australian Head of Delegation and SBS Commissioning Editor, Emily Griggs, said: “It’s been clear from Semi Final 2 that Voyager love performing to a crowd, and the crowd love them right back. They are truly electric on stage and their performance was thrilling. Watching them through the Eurovision lead up has been so fun, they have embraced every interview, photo opportunity, selfie and rehearsal with humour and generosity. It’s a big weekend of Eurovision ahead and I’m sure the whole country will get behind Voyager this Sunday on SBS and SBS on Demand.”

Australian Creative Director of Eurovision and Director of Blink TV, Paul Clarke, said: “The sound of the Liverpool arena going wild for Voyager really touches your heart. They have worked so hard and the whole city has fallen in love with them. Good to see all of Europe is loving them too.
