The Australian songs in the running for the OGAE Song Contest 2026 revealed

OGAE Australia has revealed the 12 songs competing to represent the club at the 2026 OGAE Song Contest.

The annual competition sees OGAE clubs from across the world submit one domestically released song to compete against entries from other member countries. Australia will once again decide its representative through a fan vote.

This year's shortlist features a mix of Eurovision favourites, established Australian acts and emerging artists, including former Eurovision artists Dami Im and Go-Jo plus Kylie Minogue, G Flip, Sheppard, Baker Boy and Tame Impala.

The 12 songs in the running are:

• Baker Boy – Peacekeeper

• Confidence Man & Jade – Gossip

• Dami Im – Bubble

• G Flip – Bed On Fire

• Go-Jo – Nervous

• Jude York – Camilla

• Kylie Minogue – Light Up

• Ninajirachi – iPod Touch

• Playlunch – Keith

• Sheppard – Beautiful Nothing

• Sooshi Mango – Italian Coffee Shop

• Tame Impala – Dracula

The winning song will go on to represent Australia in the international OGAE Song Contest, where it will compete against entries selected by OGAE clubs from across Europe and beyond.

Australia has twice won the competition with Dami Im's Fighting for Love in 2017 and Tones and I with Fly Away in 2021.

Eligible songs must be commercially released within the previous 12 months and performed in one of the country's official languages.
