This year’s Eesti Laul runner-up NOËP is heading to Australia this May for a series of live shows.
Andres Kõpper, better known as NOËP, is an Estonian musician as well as a film and television director. He has already had a huge year after narrowly missing out on the chance to represent Estonia at Eurovision 2026 in Vienna.
NOËP competed in Estonia’s Eurovision national final, Eesti Laul, with his song Days Like This. He advanced to the Superfinal alongside two other artists, where the public selected the winner who would go on to represent the country at Eurovision.
He ultimately finished in second place behind Vanilla Ninja, who previously represented Switzerland at Eurovision 2005 and will now represent Estonia in Vienna.
Following Eesti Laul, NOËP appeared as a guest performer at Latvia’s Eurovision national final, Supernova.
There, he performed It Drives Me (Out of My Mind) alongside former Supernova winners and Eurovision 2023 representatives Sudden Lights. The collaboration was released earlier this year.
After their performance, NOËP was asked by the Supernova host whether the collaboration with Sudden Lights was a one-off or the beginning of something more. He jokingly replied:
“We are going on tour, nobody knows it yet. First the States and then Australia and then Africa for sure.”
As it turns out, there was some truth behind the joke — NOËP is indeed heading to Australia, although without Sudden Lights.
He will perform three shows across Queensland and New South Wales:
Sydney Eesti Maja – 29 May 2026 at Estonian House, Surry Hills, NSW. Get tickets here.
Mini Marketta – 30 May 2026 in Miami, Gold Coast, QLD. Get more info and tickets here.
Pranafest Health and Wellness festival – 5 - 7 June 2026, at Lake Gkula Camping - Woodforida, Woordford, QLD. Get more info and tickets here.
