Australia will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest final for the fifth year in a row after making it through 2019 first semi-final. Singer Kate Miller-Heidke qualified with Zero Gravity, a pop-opera combo she performed in Tel Aviv while suspended in mid-air on a bendy pole. Here is all you need to know about live streaming the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Australia.
The 64th Eurovision, which will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel, started yesterday morning at 5am (AEST) and will continue streaming live on SBS.
Australian singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke is representing the nation at this year’s eagerly-anticipated song contest.
The classically-trained star beat nine other acts in the running with her electrifying song Zero Gravity.
Ms Miller-Heidke is Australia’s fifth entry into Eurovision, and the singer has a good chance at winning, with bookmakers ranking her just outside the top five.
Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey will commentate the semi finals and the grand final for Aussies, who will be able to vote again this year during the early morning live broadcasts.
Viewers can vote in the semi final that their home country is performing in, and the grand final.
