Yes! You read that right! Australia will indeed participate in the 60th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Jon Ola Sand said:
It’s a daring and at the same time incredibly exciting move. It is our way of saying; let’s celebrate this party together!
Australia therefore bring the amount of countries in Vienna to 40. The managing director of the Australian broadcaster, SBS, said:
We are very excited to have secured this historic opportunity for Australia to be represented on the world’s biggest stage at the 60th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest and are honoured that the European Broadcasting Union has supported us to achieve this ambition. SBS has been broadcasting Eurovision for over 30 years and we have seen how Australians’ love of the song contest has grown during those years.
Franky, I don't care that Australia isn't in Europe. This is amazing and I am so excited to see who the Aussies send to Vienna.. Welcome to the party! :-)
