Who is representing Australia at Eurovision 2024?
Multi-award-winning electronic music duo Electric Fields will represent Australia at Eurovision in 2024.
Hailing from South Australia, the duo is composed of vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and producer and keyboardist Michael Ross.
They will take 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.
In an official statement, Electric Fields said they were “buzzed with euphoria” to have the opportunity to perform on the Eurovision stage.
“Our music comes from the deepest place in both of us and Eurovision is the most exciting opportunity to bring together our cultures and share the joy of our global connection.”
Electric Fields almost represented Australia in 2019 with their upbeat track 2000 And Whatever, but came a close second to Kate Miller-Heidke who went on to place ninth with her song Zero Gravity.
