Their stunning finish is a blow to Australia’s ambitions in the 68-year-old iconic music competition.

In a shocking twist, Australian electronic duo Electric Fields are out of Eurovision. The pair delivered a dazzling stage performance but failed to win over television audiences in Europe, joining Poland, Iceland, Moldova and Azerbaijan, which now leave the competition.

There is a consolation prize for Australia: another Australian contender, singer Silia Kapsis, who is representing Cyprus, came through the first semi-final with a smooth performance that seemed to capture the energy of the room. Though the culling process is part of the competition structure, it highlights one of the nuanced aspects of Australia’s participation in Eurovision: when we win a slot in the final, it comes at the cost of sending a geographically European country home.
