Who represented Australia at Eurovision 2024?
Multi-award-winning electronic music duo Electric Fields represented Australia at Eurovision in 2024.

Hailing from South Australia, the duo is composed of vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and producer and keyboardist Michael Ross.
They took to the stage with their original song One Milkali (One Blood), which incorporates Yankunytjatjara, an Aboriginal language of the Anangu peoples – one of the oldest living cultures on earth.

Despite this, Australia was still represented at the Eurovision grand final.

The talented 17-year-old is the second Australian in two years to represent the Mediterranean nation after Andrew Lambrou competed in 2023 where he placed 12th.
