This week, Australian duo Electric Fields will make history when they bring Yankunytjatjara language to the Eurovision stage with their entry One Milkali . Vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and keyboard player and producer Michael Ross will compete in Semi-Final 1 on Wednesday, where they will be the first Eurovision act to perform in an Aboriginal language. They are the ninth contestants to represent Australia in the competition, which millions of people worldwide watch each year.

In 2018, Jessica Mauboy returned to Eurovision as an official entrant in the event in Lisbon, Portugal. Her uplifting pop song We Got Love finished 20th on 99 points.
