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

  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”.
