The Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung reports that the Austrian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will be revealed at the end of this month. The reveal is due to take place on January 30 with the song to be premiered on the radio in March.
It was previously reported that seven songs were in the running to represent including two songs from Philip Piller and Dominic “Dodo” Muhrer who previously represented Austria on home soil for 2015 as part of The Makemakes.
ORF has opted again to internally select both its singer and song for the Eurovision Song Contest, with reports that the broadcaster is following the same selection method as for 2024. For the 2024 selection, a 25-member jury made up of music experts and six Eurovision fan clubs were invited to watch live auditions held at the ORF studios to determine the nation’s entry.
This will be Austria’s 58th appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest. Kaleen represented Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with “We Will Rave”. She finished in 24th place, gaining 24 points.
