They might have taken part every year since 2015, but in 2019, they gave the public what they wanted, and they are ready to do that again in 2020. Australian broadcaster SBS is slowly releasing the names of the participants, for the upcoming Australian national final.

It’s still unknown when the remaining names will be announced, but the national final is once again set to be held in the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Center on the 7th and 8th of February.
Mitch Tambo
- This young singer participated in Australia’s Got Talent earlier this year, where he presented the cultural sound of Australia to world viewers. Not only did he manage to score a golden buzzer during his audition, but also second his second golden buzzer in his semi-final. Unfortunately, his path ended in the final, but delightful for Eurovision fans, who now get’s to see him bring some traditional Australian pop music to the national final and maybe even all of Europe.
iOTA
- Born as Sean Hape, this man is a succesul singer/songwriter, as well as actor. He started his musical career in his teen years and went through a lot of work, before his career really took off. He has since then released multiple albums and starred in multiple films, noticeable such as in the fourth movie of the Mad Max franchise, and has clearly won multiple different awards over the years as well.
You can watch the full announcement right here, where both participants better present themselves.
