Milkshake Man

Last updated

Internal selection

On 25 February 2025, public broadcaster SBS announced that it had internally selected Go-Jo with the song "Milkshake Man" to represent Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel. The single was made available digitally from the same day. [23]

Preparation

Whilst staying in a hotel room in Estonia three weeks prior to Eurovision 2025, Go-Jo was rehearsing his vocals for the Milkshake Man whilst listening to the song on headphones and due to the song playing in his headphones he had been unable to hear people who had been knocking on the door of his hotel room in response to his singing. [24] [25] Then later on after he had finished singing, three police arrived at the door of his room whilst he was in a live stream with other Eurovision 2025 artists, Sissal, Kyle Alessandro and Klavdia. [24] [25] The police briefly spoke to Go-Jo in relation to the singing he had been doing earlier and then he returned to the live stream and spoke to the other Eurovision artists about what had happened. [24] [25]

At Eurovision

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 took place at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 13 and 15 May and the final on 17 May 2025. [26] During the allocation draw held on 28 January 2025, Australia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final, performing in the first half of the show. [27] Go-Jo was later drawn to open the second semi-final. [28] Australia failed to qualify for the grand final. [29]
