The 69th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Basel, Switzerland, following the country's victory at the 2024 contest with the song 'The Code' by Nemo.
24 year old Norweigan singer EMMY will represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland this May with her song 'Laika Party'. Sweden shares the record for the most Eurovision wins together with Ireland - with a tally of 7 victories each at the contest. Ireland first entered the Eurovision Song Contes in 1965 and famously won four out of five contests in the 1990s and became the first country to win three years in a row.
