With its empowering message, cinematic production and commanding performance, Alessandra’s entry dominated TikTok, amassed hundreds of millions of streams and propelled her to international stardom. Her impact on a new generation of fans makes her a true contemporary Eurovision icon.

Guy Sebastian - Australia’s Eurovision Pioneer

Helena Paparizou - Greece’s Trailblazing Champion
Helena Paparizou made history in 2005 when she delivered Greece’s first Eurovision victory with the unforgettable “My Number One.” A powerhouse vocalist and beloved figure in the Eurovision Song Contest community, she’s also in an elite club of artists who have finished in the Top 3 twice coming 3rd in the 2001 Contest with her band Antique singing “(I Would) Die for You”, making the Greek diva an undisputed Icon of the Contest.

Johnny Logan - Ireland’s Eurovision Maestro
Often hailed as “Mr Eurovision,” Johnny Logan is true Eurovision royalty. The only artist to ever win the Contest three times - twice as a performer and once as a composer (“Why Me” in 1992) - his iconic winning songs “Hold Me Now” (1987), which he also wrote, and “What’s Another Year” (1980) are etched into Eurovision history. His return to the Eurovision stage promises spine-tingling nostalgia and arena-wide sing-alongs.
