You can catch the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest live from Basel, Switzerland, beginning May 14, but for now, we have rounded up the stars who are the ones to watch (with our very own Aussie Go-Jo in there of course).

Go-Jo, Australia

Australia’s 2025 Eurovision entrant, Go-Jo (born Marty Zambotto), is a genre-blending pop sensation poised to bring his infectious energy to the song contest’s stage in Basel.

Born in 1995 in rural Manjimup, Western Australia, to a French father and Australian mother, Go-Jo, 29, grew up off-grid on a self-sustained property before relocating to Sydney to launch his music career. A multi-instrumentalist who began writing and producing songs as a teenager, he gained global recognition with his 2023 viral hit, ‘Mrs. Hollywood’, which amassed over one billion views and cemented his status as a top-streamed Australian artist.

Selected by SBS, Go-Jo will perform ‘Milkshake Man’ – a collaborative anthem co-written with members of Australian pop band Sheppard that champions self-expression. “The Milkshake Man’s purpose is to inspire people to embrace the loudest and proudest version of themselves,” he declared, calling Eurovision “the coolest thing I could ever do as a musician”.

Reflecting on his selection, he shared, “It’s an absolute dream come true to represent such a beautiful and diverse nation, and I’ve never been more excited to share my art and vision with the incredible Eurovision fans around the world.”

Go-Jo aims to be a “mascot of confidence” on the Eurovision stage, with 
a performance that blends pop, indie and folk in an unforgettable spectacle.

“From the first moment we saw Go-Jo on stage, we realised he had a unique connection with the audiences, and we know he’ll get a lot of love from the Eurovision community,” Australian Eurovision creative director Paul Clarke shared. “We are celebrating Australia’s 
10th Eurovision entrant, and this one will go off with a bang.”
