The numbers
Delta Goodrem is officially representing Australia in the upcoming Eurovision 2026, showcasing her new song titled ‘Eclipse’. After a grueling 36 hours of travel from Australia, which included stops in Japan and Finland, Delta has made her way to Oslo, Norway, where she performed on TV2’s God morgen Norge ahead of the highly anticipated Nordic Eurovision Party.
At the Nordic Eurovision Party held at the Rockefeller Music Hall, Delta shared the stage with 16 other artists competing in Eurovision 2026, highlighting the event’s growing significance in the lead-up to the main contest. This year marks the 11th anniversary of Australia’s participation in Eurovision, which began in 2015 with Guy Sebastian.
Delta’s performance comes on the heels of her last appearance in Oslo during her Hearts On the Run Tour in 2023. This time, she is not just performing for her fans but is also vying for a coveted spot in the Eurovision finals, where 40 countries will compete for the title.
In a recent statement, Delta expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “This is the right time to represent my country and give it everything we’ve got!” Her song ‘Eclipse’ is described as a representation of perfect timing in love, a theme that resonates deeply with many listeners.
Dami Im, a previous Eurovision contestant, has publicly endorsed Delta, stating, “If anyone can get gold for Australia, it’s Delta.” This endorsement adds to the mounting expectations surrounding Delta’s performance, with many observers believing she has a strong chance of success.
Georgina Hall-Brown, a music critic, praised Delta’s vocals, noting, “This could be a winner; vocals are superb.” Such high praise from industry insiders further fuels excitement as the Eurovision Song Contest approaches, set to be televised live from May 13-17, 2026.
As Delta prepares for her performance, she remains focused, stating, “You’re an athlete at the end of the day,” emphasizing the dedication and discipline required to compete at this level. With a record 17 artists attending the Oslo event, the pre-competition engagement has never been higher.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the final arrangements for the contest, but all eyes will be on Delta Goodrem as she aims to make history for Australia at Eurovision 2026.
