Bambie Thug has become Ireland’s first Eurovision Song Contest finalist since 2018.
The 31-year-old singer performed their alternative song Doomsday Blue at the Eurovision semi-finals in Malmo, Sweden.
Ryan O’Shaughnessy made it to the competition for Ireland with Together in Lisbon, Portugal, six years ago – he came 16th.

The UK’s Olly Alexander delivered his first performance, which featured an upside-down locker room staging of Dizzy.
It was the first time the UK, which is already through to the finals, has performed in a semi-final.
Alexander had cameras rotated to make it feel as if he and the dancers were spinning.
During their first Eurovision performance Bambi’s dancers appeared devil-like in blue paint, highly exaggerated ears and fake teeth.
Halfway through the end of the song they revealed the trans flag on their costume.
