[31] Robinson was later drawn to perform fourth in the semi-final, behind Lithuania's Silvester Belt and ahead of Ukraine's duo of Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil. [32]

For its Eurovision performance, Sergio Jaén was appointed as the staging director. [33] The performance featured the heavy use of smoke along with a circle of candles.

[35] [34] [36] Midway through the performance, Robinson removes the black outfit, revealing an outfit inspired by the colours of the transgender flag. [37] Robinson was originally slated to wear line makeup that featured the message "ceasefire" and "freedom for Palestine" in Ogham as a medium of support for a ceasefire amongst the Israel–Hamas war. [38] However, according to Robinson, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) forced them to remove the message, only allowing the message "crown the witch" to be displayed. [39] [40] Robinson, who considers themself pro-Palestinian, also faced numerous calls to withdraw from the contest due to Israel's participation in that year's contest; they rejected it, stating that withdrawing "would mean one less pro-Palestinian voice at the contest". [41] "Doomsday Blue" finished in third, receiving 124 points and securing a spot in the grand final. [42] [43] The qualification was the first for Ireland since 2018. [44]

After the contest, Robinson expressed frustrations with the EBU, stating that they were still "waiting for an official update" regarding the line makeup they were forced to remove. They later added, "The EBU is not what the Eurovision is – fuck the EBU. I don't even care any more. Fuck them." [49] However, when responding to their high finishing position, they praised themself and fellow non-binary contestant Nemo Mettler, who won the contest. They further stated, "the world has spoken [and] the queers are coming, non-binaries for the fucking win". [50]
