Estonia’s Eesti Laul has produced three Eurovision finalists in a row, including 5miinust and Puuluup. You’ll recall that they took their mouthful of a song — “(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi” — to 20th in the final.
Producers from the Estonian broadcaster ERR have now revealed 15 of the 16 acts who will try to follow in their footsteps by winning the final of Eesti Laul 2025. The show will take place on February 15 at the Unibet Arena.
The following 15 acts have been selected by a jury consisting of 34 musical professionals. The 16th act will be chosen by the public in an online vote conducted by Radio 2 in January.
You’ll have to wait until December 16 to hear the songs below. They’ll be heard for the first time on a show called Start.
