🇮🇸 Feel it coming: Queen Hera’s big leap for Iceland

Interviews, Music, Society & Culture

She is one of Australia’s Queens of Eurovision and it’s so good to see her back.

Fourteen years have passed since Je ne sais quoi, but Hera Björk has not stopped. Once again she’s representing Iceland at Eurovision but this year, she’s Scared of Heights.

Michael caught up with Hera to chat about 2024, how it’s different to 2010 and what she’s learnt about herself and the world since.

🦘 Will Hera make it to Australia?

🫣 What is Hera actually scared of?

🌈 Why is the queer community so important to Hera?

You can see Hera Björk perform Scared of Heights during Semi Final 1. Watch it on SBS:

• Live on Wednesday 8 May at 5am AEST (and remember to vote)
• Prime time on Friday 10 May at 7:30pm AEST
