The numbers
Delta Goodrem is set to represent Australia in Eurovision 2026, a significant milestone as this year marks the 11th anniversary of Australia’s entry into the competition. The event will take place from May 13-17, 2026, with Goodrem’s entry titled ‘Eclipse’ already generating buzz among fans and critics alike.
Goodrem recently performed on TV2’s God morgen Norge ahead of the Nordic Eurovision Party, showcasing her vocal prowess. The journey from Australia to Norway was extensive, taking approximately 36 hours and including stops in Japan and Finland. At the Nordic Eurovision Party held at the Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, Goodrem shared the stage with 16 other Eurovision 2026 artists, indicating a vibrant pre-competition atmosphere.
In her own words, Delta described her song ‘Eclipse’ as a representation of perfect timing in love, stating, “This is the right time to represent my country and give it everything we’ve got!” This sentiment resonates with many fans who are eager to see her shine on the international stage.
Former Eurovision contestant Dami Im has endorsed Goodrem as a strong contender for Australia, asserting, “If anyone can get gold for Australia, it’s Delta.” This endorsement adds to the excitement surrounding her participation, especially considering the competition will feature 40 competing countries, making the stakes higher than ever.
Goodrem’s last performance in Oslo was in 2023 during her Hearts On the Run Tour, where she captivated audiences with her dynamic stage presence. Observers are optimistic about her chances, with music critic Georgina Hall-Brown noting, “This could be a winner; vocals are superb.” Such praise highlights the anticipation surrounding her upcoming performance.
As Australia continues to make its mark in the Eurovision landscape, Goodrem’s entry is seen as a continuation of the country’s commitment to the competition, which began in 2015 with Guy Sebastian. The increased engagement, evidenced by a record 17 artists attending the Oslo event, suggests a growing interest in Eurovision among Australian artists and fans alike.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the final arrangements for Goodrem’s performance, but the excitement is palpable as fans await the opportunity to see her represent Australia on one of the world’s biggest musical stages.
