Australian artist set to make Eurovision history by performing Indigenous lyrics at Sweden showdown - as fellow Aussie represents another country


Two Australian acts are vying not just for the spotlight at Eurovision this year but for ultimate musical victory in Malmö, Sweden.

South Australia's electronic duo Electric Fields and Sydney singer Silia Kapsis, who will be representing Cyprus, are gearing up for what promises to be a fiercely contested battle in the music industry's equivalent of the Olympics. During their visually arresting rehearsal in Malmo, Fielding was a sight to behold, clad in a breathtaking white frock that flowed effortlessly as he moved across the stage, illuminated by a backdrop featuring his own artwork titled 'Paraulpi'. Last year, Australia's prog synth metal outfit Voyager clinched the ninth spot, while the country's best result to date was achieved by Dami Im in 2016 with her mesmerising rendition of Sound of Silence.
