The Irish Eurovision national selection, “Eurosong 2025”, will take place on February 7th during “The Late Late Show”. Six songs will compete for a ticket to Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland.
It was announced today that the Irish Eurovision national selection for Eurovision 2025, “Eurosong 2025”, will be held on Friday, February 7th. As in previous years, the national pre-selection will take place as part of the talk show “The Late Late Show”. The Irish Eurovision podcast, Éirevision, confirmed this in its latest episode and also announced that six songs will compete for a ticket to Eurovision 2025 to be held in Basel, Switzerland.
We remind you that yesterday, samples from five songs allegedly competing in the pre-selection were leaked from an unofficial source on Twitter, albeit one with a record of correct guesses. This source was the first to reveal that Israel won first place in the second semi-final of Eurovision 2024, on the same night. Listen to the five songs expected to participate in the Irish Eurovision pre-selection. It is not yet known how the point distribution in the Eurovision pre-selection will choose the representative and song for Eurovision 2025.
Leaked Song Samples
- Nicole O’Brien – Love Me Louder
- Bobbi Arlo – Powerplay
- ADGY – Run Into The Night
- LYRA – Freak
- Tara McDonald – Make It Rain

The name of singer LYRA has been mentioned frequently in recent months in connection with Eurovision and has been quoted in professional Irish press. Therefore, it can be said that this list of names is not entirely detached from reality, though still unconfirmed.
