Luxembourg at Eurovision
Luxembourg was one of the founding countries of Eurovision in 1956 (along with Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland), and has won the competition five times, including the first time it was held. France Gall in 1965 with " Wax doll, sound doll" song written by Serge Gainsbourg. Luxembourg withdrew from the competition in 1993 for financial reasons.
It was not until 2024, 31 years after its withdrawal, that the country made its comeback with the organisation of a national final, the Luxembourg Song Contest, which saw Tali with " Fighter "I'm delighted that we're going all the way to the final in Malmö.
Candidate selection process and competition rules
To take part in LSC 2025, artists had to send their songs to RTL a few months ago. The rules included being from Luxembourg or having a strong presence in the country's music scene, and submitting a maximum of 5 songs, with the choice of language left to the candidates. An international jury (made up of industry professionals including our Marie Myriam but also Poli Guénova) then chose the 7 best singers from the 53 candidates, who submitted a total of 79 songs.
