Delta Goodrem Releases Empowering Australian Eurovision 2026 Entry 'Eclipse'

Australian pop legend Delta Goodrem has been announced as Australia’s latest Eurovision act. The Innocent Eyes hitmaker will take to the stage in Vienna this May with her track Eclipse – which she co-wrote with Ferras Alqaisi, Jonas Myrin and Michael Fatkin (who also produced the song).

Delta shared: “I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision! As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music; the universal language. I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.”

Eclipse is a sumptuous pop ballad that builds with gentle mid-tempo touches, which allow Delta’s incredible vocal to shine through. The musician sings: “One touch, one kiss / All my life for a night like this / The world stops for us / Only love exists / When we eclipse…” with rousing emotion that is set to go down a storm on the Eurovision stage.

Australia’s SBS Head of Entertainment Emily Griggs said:“After years of speculation, the moment has arrived. Everything has aligned for Delta to represent Australia at Eurovision, and there’s no better time than 2026 in the Song Contest’s 70th year, back where Australia’s participation began in 2015. To mark this milestone, we wanted to send one of Australia’s most iconic artists to the world’s most iconic stage. Her powerful voice is balanced by restraint and an openness that draws people in, creating performances that feel both intimate and expansive. Europe, get ready. Australia is lighting up the stage.”

Australia’s Creative Director for Vienna, Paul Clarke said: “Delta Goodrem is a once in a generation artist. Her elegant songwriting and unmatched vocal ability make her the perfect choice to represent Australia and eclipse the competition at the 70th anniversary of Eurovision in Vienna. Her song is a bold step towards the next stage of her worldwide career, and we are excited to bring her vision to life on the stage in May.”
