Luxembourg’s Eurovision Dream: Who Will Shine Brightest Tonight?
The anticipation is palpable, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Tonight, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg takes centre stage as the nation selects its representative for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest. From the iconic Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette, seven acts will battle it out for the chance to fly the Luxembourgish flag in Basel this May.
For the second consecutive year, Raoul Roos and Loïc Juchem will guide viewers through what promises to be an unforgettable evening. The show will start 8pm (CET) spanning three hours and talent as diverse as it is electrifying, fans are bracing themselves for a night of drama, music, and perhaps a little Eurovision magic.
Meet the Finalists
The line-up this year is nothing short of extraordinary. From seasoned performers to emerging stars, each act brings something unique to the table.
- Laura Thorn (“La poupée monte le son”) – A classically trained musician turned pop dynamo, Laura’s blend of pedagogy and performance is a masterclass in reinvention.
- One Last Time (“Gambler’s Song”) – This five-piece band, born during the pandemic, is a lesson in synergy and resilience. Their energy is contagious, and their melodies linger long after the final note.
- Luzac (“Je danse”) – A violinist-turned-urban-pop artist, Luzac’s raw emotional delivery has already won hearts. Will it win votes tonight?
- Rhythmic Soulwave (“Stronger”) – Six nationalities, countless influences, and one sound that defies convention. This is fusion at its finest.
- MÄNA (“Human Eyes”) – A multi-instrumentalist with a knack for storytelling, MÄNA’s artistry knows no bounds.
- Rafa Ela (“No Thank You”) – Having conquered Luxembourg’s music competitions, Rafa is ready to make Eurovision history.
- ZERO POINT FIVE (“Ride”) – Veterans of the stage, this trio blends pop, folk, and country into an irresistible concoction.
