🇦🇺 Cars and rock revival: Meeting Voyager

Comedy, Interviews, Music, Society & Culture

For the very first time, Australia is sending a band to Eurovision. And it’s not just any band – it’s Australia Decides favourite, Voyager. Scott, Simone and Ash joined Michael for a coffee and chit chat ahead of the semi final rehearsals.

The Perth-based synth-metal rockers shared their thoughts about the state of Aussie music, particularly the rock scene, and how much of a connection there is to Eurovision. There’s a last-minute staging change for Promise and the return roasting of Greece’s Victor Vernicos, along with a discussion of how close this year’s theme is to reality.

🤫 How long did they have to keep this all a secret?

🚗 Is Danny really to blame for that classic ’80s car on stage?

🌟 Who are the band’s favourite Eurovision contestants?

You can see Voyager perform Promise during Semi Final 2. Watch it on SBS:

• Live on Friday 12 May at 5am AEST (and remember to vote)
• Prime time on Saturday 12 May at 7:30pm AEST
