South Australian multi-award winning duo Electric Fields will represent Australia at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden this May.
Hailing from Mimili in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands (APY) of South Australia, Zaachariaha Fielding, together with artistic collaborator Michael Ross became the powerful duo that is Electric Fields.
Electric Fields will perform their newest dance anthem One Milkali for the 2024 Eurovision Contest, which loosely translates to ‘One Blood’ and represents their dream for a world where we are all united.
Electric Fields will be the first South Australian act to represent Australia at the global song contest and is supported by the Malinauskas Government.
The Malinauskas Government is committed to supporting the live music sector in South Australia including through its Music Development Office, recently investing almost $1 million to bring more live music across the state. The grants targeted employment opportunities for musicians and production support staff with a focus on showcasing original music through our See it LIVE program.
Seasoned producers and performers, Zaachariaha and Michael live up to their name, electrifying audiences with their dance moves and beaming smiles on national headline tours, extravagant collaborations with symphony orchestras, and star turns at some of the biggest festivals throughout Australia, Asia, New Zealand, the United States, the UK, and Europe.
Eurovision fans will remember Electric Fields from SBS’ 2019 national selection show, Eurovision – Australia Decides (E-AD), where they came a close second to Kate Miller-Heidke with their unforgettable, upbeat track 2000 And Whatever.
Eurovision Song Contest is held from Tuesday 7 May - Saturday 11 May 2024 (CEST).
