Go-Jo represents Australia in the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. Today, he presents his song Milkshake Man. A few hours ago, SBS accidentally leaked the track.

Go-Jo

Born on December 7, 1989, in Manjimup, Western Australia, Go-Jo is an Australian pop singer-songwriter and producer known for his guitar-driven pop sound infused with R&B. He launched his music career in 2016 and quickly gained recognition for his original songs and distinctive covers. His version of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls has earned over 3 million streams on Spotify, while his original track Mrs. Hollywood went viral after a food court performance clip exceeded 1 million views.

With over 600,000 TikTok followers and 21 million likes, Go-Jo captivates fans with spontaneous guitar solos and singing challenges. Growing up in a rural setting shaped his creative style, setting him apart in the Australian music scene. His energetic performances and relatable lyrics continue to draw a wide audience. He shares his life with his partner, Sharni-Leigh, and remains active in the music industry in 2025.

Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest

Australia joined the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 as a special guest to celebrate the contest’s 60th anniversary. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) later extended its participation. The country competes as an associate member of the EBU, with broadcaster SBS organizing the selection process.

Since its debut, Australia has consistently reached the Grand Final. Dami Im secured the best result in 2016 with Sound of Silence, finishing second. Over the years, Australia has sent a mix of internal selections and national final winners.

In 2023, Voyager represented Australia with Promise, achieving a top-ten result. The following year, Electric Fields competed with One Milkali (One Blood).

Go-Jo represents Australia this year. His entry, Milkshake Man, follows a diverse lineup of Australian acts that have showcased different musical styles on the Eurovision stage.

Host City Selection Update Austria has started preparations for Eurovision 2026. ORF, the country’s national broadcaster, met with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in Vienna this week to begin organizing next year’s contest. ORF confirmed that it will announce the host city on August 8, 2025. Several Austrian cities have already entered the race to host the event. Vienna, which hosted in 2015, is among the candidates, along with Graz, Innsbruck, Linz (in a joint bid with nearby Wels), St. Pölten, Oberwart, and Ebreichsdorf. Each city has expressed strong interest and is currently preparing detailed proposals. Fans and organizers alike are now counting down to August 8, when ORF will reveal which city will welcome the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026. National Final News Several countries are starting to plan how they will select their Eurovision 2026 entries. They will have a mix of national finals and song submission processes. Key updates from this week include: 🇲🇹 Malta: Malta’s broadcaster PBS has announced it will hold a national selection for Eurovision 2026. The Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) will be held to choose Malta’s entry (Eurovoix). 🇦🇹 Austria: Austria is looking to organize a televised national final to pick its 2026 act. According to Kleine Zeitung, an ORF spokesperson stated that the 2026 representative will not be chosen internally, paving the way for Austria’s first public selection since 2016 (Kleine Zeitung). 🇪🇸 Spain: Spain has opened song submissions for Benidorm Fest 2026, its national selection event. RTVE (the Spanish broadcaster) began accepting entries on June 5, 2025 (Eurovoix, June 5, 2025).

The festival will take place from February 24 to 28, 2026, slightly later than usual to avoid overlapping with the Winter Olympics (Quotidiano.net, June 2025). These dates were announced to ensure Sanremo – which often determines Italy’s Eurovision act – does not conflict with other major events. Each of these developments shows how countries are gearing up early for Eurovision 2026. With more participants confirmed, host city bids in progress, and national finals being planned, the road to Eurovision 2026 is already taking shape. We all can look forward to further updates in the coming weeks as Europe prepares for another exciting song contest season. We will keep you updated next week with another weekly update. Share
