Guy Sebastian became the first Australian to officially compete in the song contest last year, placing fifth.

He made it to the grand final by singing "Tonight Again", which he wrote.

Back in 2014, Jessica Mauboy performed as an interval act during the show, but at the time, Australia was not allowed to compete.

Australia's participation is secured for this year, but it is yet to be decided whether Australia will become a permanent participant in the future.

Eurovision will be held in Stockholm, Sweden and will take place on the 10th, 12th and 14th of May.
