Peking Duk's Keli Holiday Open to Eurovision Bid

Australian musician Keli Holiday, also known as Adam Hyde and co-founder of the electronic music duo Peking Duk, has expressed interest in representing Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest. The artist, known for his recent hit "Dancing2," made the revelation during a radio interview on Triple M's "Mick In The Morning" show.

The interview saw host Mick Molloy suggest Holiday would be a strong contender for Eurovision, a sentiment Holiday echoed. Holiday's enthusiasm comes after Delta Goodrem's recent success at the contest, where Australia achieved its second-highest finish in the competition's history.

Holiday's recent achievements include his song "Dancing2" winning Song of the Year at the 2025 ARIA Awards. His album, "Capital Fiction," debuted at number three on the ARIA Albums Chart and topped the national Australian albums tally. The artist recently completed a national tour and embarked on his first North American dates. However, the North American tour was cut short when Holiday was denied re-entry into the United States, forcing him to cancel a performance in New York City. Holiday expressed his disappointment and desire to return to the US. He is currently scheduled to perform in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe through June.

BNN's Perspective:

While Holiday's enthusiasm for Eurovision is encouraging, it's important to remember the complexities of the competition. Australia's success in recent years demonstrates the potential for a strong showing, but the contest is highly competitive. Holiday's established fanbase and recent success could provide a solid foundation for a successful Eurovision campaign.
