Estonia: The Grand Final of Eesti Laul 2025 Takes Place Tonight!

Tonight, Estonia is set to choose its representative for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held this May in Basel, Switzerland. The Baltic nation will once again rely on its beloved national selection format, Eesti Laul, to determine who will fly the Estonian flag in Eurovision 2025.

The Format

This year, the Estonian broadcaster has introduced significant changes to Eesti Laul’s structure. Unlike previous editions, the 2025 competition will unfold in a single grand final, skipping the usual semi-finals and diving straight into the big night.

The voting system, however, remains familiar. The final will consist of two voting rounds:

1. Round One: A combined result from a professional jury and the public, each contributing 50% to the outcome.
2. Round Two (Super Final): The top three acts from the first round will advance to a super final, where the winner will be decided exclusively by the public vote.

The Finalists

Sixteen acts will compete tonight for the ticket to Eurovision 2025. Here’s the lineup:

1. Ant – “Tomorrow Never Comes“
2. Stereo Terror – “Party Till the End of the World“
3. Janek – “Frozen“
4. Räpina Jack feat. Kaisa Ling – “Tule“
5. Johanna Elise – “Eyes Don’t Lie“
6. Felin – “Solo Anthem“
7. Elysa – “The Last to Know“
8. gem98 – “Psycho“
9. An-Marlen – “Külm“
10. Frants Tikerpuu – “Trouble“
11. Anna Sahlene – “Love Me Low“
12. Tuuli Rand – “Rem“
13. Minimal Wind – “Armageddon“
14. andrei zevakin feat. Karita – “Ma Ei Tea Sind“
15. Tommy Cash – “Espresso Macchiato“
16. Marta Lotta – “Tantsin Veel“

️ Hosts & Guest Performances

Hosting tonight’s show will be Ines — Estonia’s Eurovision 2000 representative — and Korea, the frontman of 5MIINUST, who competed in Eurovision 2024 alongside Puuluup.

The night will also feature several exciting guest performances:

• 5MIINUST & Puuluup will return to the stage with their Eurovision entry “(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi” and their latest single “Pilates Spiritual Clüb”.
• Ines herself will perform her brand-new song, “Viimane piisk”, adding a nostalgic touch for Eurovision fans who remember her hit “Once in a Lifetime”.
