After an extra long wait, Eurovision is finally here.
The international song competition, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is set to be broadcast on SBS from May 19 to May 23.
But amid ongoing travel restrictions, Australia's artist, Montaigne, won't be travelling to Rotterdam in The Netherlands for the competition.
Instead, the Sydney-born musician has submitted a video recording of her Eurovision single 'Technicolour', which will air during the semi-finals this week.
Watch a clip from Montaigne's music video for 'Technicolour' below. Post continues after video.
Speaking to Mamamia ahead of The Eurovision Song Contest, Montaigne shared that she has since accepted the unfortunate news.
"I feel fine now," the 25-year-old said. "I've sat with the news for a while, and I've been doing lots of interviews and recordings and all of that stuff in the lead-up, so I've sort of settled in."
Now, as the competition approaches, Montaigne (real name Jess Cerro) is looking forward to bringing "a little chaos" to the world of Eurovision.
"On stage for a while there, I wanted to come across as having this character that had depressed lady clown energy," Montaigne told Mamamia.
