It’s a blink-and-you’ll miss it kind of preview, but SBS have released a 5 second snippet of Australia’s Eurovision entry.
Ahead of the official March 6 release, this snippet gives us some indication of the direction Australia’s entry is going down.
Within the snippet, we can hear a melodic start – almost cosmic or ethereal in nature. As the snippet ends, the melodic nature is sharply disrupted by an aggressive, electronic sound – almost robotic in nature. Some have compared the clashing combination of sounds from a Nokia 3310, to the sound of a dial up modem of the 1990s. Windows95man, reimagined?
We are unsure if the snippet is the opening of the song, or a random section throughout.
You can hear the snippet below.
Who is rumoured to be Australia’s entrant for Eurovision 2024?
SBS have been, to date, surprisingly coy in giving anything away about this year’s entrant. We do know that Dami Im, who previously represented Australia in 2016 and has expressed an interest in returning to the contest, has ruled herself out.
In comments on the above post, fans are overwhelmingly predicting the snippet is former Australia Decides runners up Electric Fields. The snippet isn’t far removed from their kind of sound which uses electronic samples and interludes. While fans of the band are manifesting the duo make the Eurovision stage, we simply can’t tell who it is by the snippet, or exactly what genre of music Australia’s entry is reflecting. It’s a wait and see!
To drum up interest, last year’s entrants Voyager recently posted a trailer saying they knew who the entrant was. Even then, they’ve given us no indication as to who it might just be.
Australia’s entry to Eurovision will be released on March 6.
Who do you think is this year’s entrant for Australia at Eurovision? Do you get any inklings from the snippet? Let us know in the comments below.
I rather like it! Can’t wait to see the live performance
It’s Official. Electric fields will represent Australia for Eurovision 2024! Five years after they were runner ups, it’s amazing to finally see them on the stage.
Is it actually “One Mikali”?
Yes it is

Can listen to it on the above link. This is going to be Australias second none final qualification
There are enough clues in the teaser featuring Voyager that the amazing, electrifying duo, ELECTRIC FIELDS have been selected to represent Australia Eurovision 2024. Game on! They are a powerhouse together! ??
Simone in clip is playing connect four? – a two player game. So Electric Fields.
Danny and drummer in one frame = 2
Scott wearing two green gloves.
Danny is drinking absinthe. Reminds me of absinthe induced fairy in Moulin Rouge – so Kylie? Or Electric Fields who are doing a collaboration with Baz Luhrmann.
The irony is at this time I can’t as an Australian actually listen to the snippet above. It doesn’t play at all for me ?????apparently more info on Wednesday morning here , Tuesday Europe so we all got sucked in because official announcement will be tomorrow according to SBS site.
It’s very likely from that snippet it’s Electric Fields however we have some amazing performers that it could be – my second guess would be Pnau or Empire of the Sun or maybe Flume.
Honestly… it’s gonna be alright. Although the snippet does not sound it I am still holding out for hope that BELLA TAYLOR-SMITH is chosen, cause she would bring Australia their first win.
Hopefully not electric fields , their previous attempt was loved by fans on here . The majority of the time fans here get it completely wrong compared to how public votes .
Australia: Just promise me it’s gonna be alright (again)
The coral reef says hi. Promises, promises.
I at the same time hope it’s Electric Fields and dread it a little bit, because 2000 and Whatever was SO good, I don’t know how they will top it.
I’m still not over that they didn’t win that year.
I went back and listened to it and it’s very overrated
They’ve done some much better stuff than that. I wasn’t a fan of the song but i love them. Their version of from Little Things is stunning.
Australia needs a strong vocalist like Dami, otherwise, they will flop every single time!
Yes, because they totally flopped in 2017…
What is Australia’s current arrangement with the EBU?
It was supposed to a once-off, which evolved into a five-year invitation… and now? Does anyone plan on telling us?
“A contract is a contract is a contract… but only between Ferengi.”
lol. Not a reference I was expecting to see here.
The snippet is shorter than short. Impossible to have an opinion on it, but I’d love it if it were Electric Fields.
Think they copied electric dreams the 80s song lol
Take that back I clicked the wrong thing lol
Seems right to me.
Really hoping for Electric Fields, loved their entry in Australia Decides. I’m still listening to it from time to time!
Love the video from Voyager. So cute and funny! Also nice to see Danny looking well
Tried listening to it but I could hear much. Really short snippet.
Sydney 2025
If Australia wins the song contest will be held in a European country
Or Baku
What in the phone ringtone is this, cmon Australia you gotta give us more than that
it will be Electric Fields. They tend to select previous contestants of the NF. Voyager were 2nd in ESC2022 and were chosen in 2023.
Electric Fields are long-time favourite entry.
Its happened once – Cyprus also chose an artist from our 2022 lineup.
the snippiest snippets of all snipping snipps! ?
It’s Amy shark and Lanks
This sounds like an Android ringtone. I’m here for it.
New Australian artist, Windows98 Man?
Kate Miller-Heidke was one of the best Australian entries so far, but 2000 and Wathever was probably my favorite national selection entry of that year. So I’m hoping for an Electric Fields return!
The full 3-minute song is already available on Kaleen’s youtube channel, what “snippet” are they talking about?
It’s like sending someone a pack of your nudes on Grindr, but then telling them 2 months later that you wanna surprise them by showing them by taking off your shirt.
??
Haha I think Henry clicked on the wrong article
A classic case of someone who doesn’t read, and confuses AUSTRIA with AUSTRALIA.
And comes up with a whole elaborate metaphor to highlight his ignorance. ???
Babes, it says Australia, not Austria ?
Same thing.
ah yes classic Austria, the country with the kangaroos, and classic Australia, the country with ski resorts and mystery snippet
I had a good laugh with this one. What a metaphor!
XDDD Austr(al)ia
Oh Henry! Do share some more gems!
Bahaha I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re an Aussie and joking but I’m almost hoping you’re not. Gotta love it when people mix up Austria and Australia.
As an Austrian, I’m a bit offended but not surprised. Seems to happen alot. But remember kids: There are no kangoroos in Austria!
Lol that’s not true, I’ve seen kangaroos in the zoo in Linz 🙂
Danny!! I hope he’s doing well <3
I honestly thought that I was listening to some sort of intro jingle, and I was like “okay but where is the sneak preview..?” Haha.
Sounds like the Windows computer I owned back in 2004. Fun times!
Love the sample
Perth references throughout, a jade coloured drink, jade bathroom – Samatha Jade.
Oh god I hope it isn’t her. I loved her on X Factor but tbh her best performance was UFO by sneaky sound system. I think sneaky sound system should do Eurovision
Electric Fields hopefully, with this electronic dreamy snippet it could be them yes
I am very curious. Maybe it is Delta Goodrem. I ‘ve heard some rumours
LOL it’s not Delta Goodrem come on
If Delta isn’t interested in giving her career a boost, or sharing her work with a large audience… then her loss. I think she’d do well. Although her last album was not great.
It better be Electric Fields. I still listen to 2000 And Whatever. Such a bop!
