News by : (Radio Times) -

This year, 37 acts will take to the stage across the two semi-finals as they all go head-to-head for a spot in the coveted Grand Final, taking place this weekend!

And for Australia, they have qualified yet again and will be represented by Go-Jo, performing his exciting song Milkshake Man.

For all the ins and outs on how Australia ended up in the Song Contest, and what happens if they were to win Eurovision, read for all you need to know.

Then, Australia was given a special one-off chance to compete for the Eurovision title in 2015, the year in which the competition celebrated its 50th birthday. They qualified automatically for a spot in the Grand Final and singer Guy Sebastian finished in a very respectable fifth place.
