Where did Australia finish in the Eurovision dress rehearsal press poll?

The press poll revealed the media's favourites based on the first dress rehearsal of semi-final 2.

The second semi-final of Eurovision 2025 had its first dress rehearsal on Wednesday.

The dress rehearsal is watched by accredited media and the delegations inside the stadium.

Following 81 members of the media voted in the ESCXTRA press poll.

Each press member votes for three nations based on those performances.

The winner of the press poll was Finland, followed by Luxembourg and Austria.

Australia's Go-Jo finished in 8th place with 12 votes.

The press poll can be quite hit and miss. It did place Iceland Portugal in the Top 10 before their qualification but also had Belgium, Cyprus and Slovenia in their 10 as well.
