Estonia 2025: The artists of 'Eesti Laul' are announced

If you're tuning into Eesti Laul in 2025, there's only one date to remember: and that's Saturday 15 February. 

For the first time in over a decade, the Estonian pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest is doing away with the notion of a semi-final, and is putting all of its Eesti Energy into just one main event - the Eesti Laul final.

But the reduced number of live shows certainly doesn't mean any kind of shortage of songs! 

16 entries will be competing in Eesti Laul 2025, and broadcaster ERR has now revealed the names of 15 of the artists taking part, as well as the titles of the songs they'll be performing. 

The entries were chosen by a 34-member jury put together by ERR.

Here's who we can look forward to cheering on in February:

An-Marlen - Külm
(Frederik Mustonen, Ingel Marlen Mikk, Maria Vainumägi)

Andrei Zevakin feat. Karita - Ma ei tea sind
(Andrei Zevakin, Liina Ariadne Pedanik, Martti Hallik)

The 15 songs will be made available to listen to for the first time in less than a month, on 6 December. And the elusive 16th finalist will be decided through an online vote via national radio station Radio 2; details of which will be provided soon.

On the night of the Eesti Laul final, once all songs have been performed, an audience vote and a jury vote will decide on three 'superfinalists'. A public vote will then open again to choose the Eesti Laul 2025 winner, and Estonia's song for Basel.

At the 2024 Contest in Malmö, Estonia was represented by 5MIINUST x Puuluup and their song (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi. The crowd-pleaser reached the Grand Final, where it finished in 20th place. 

The result was Estonia's third Grand Final appearance in as many years. 

Before we enjoy all that Eesti Laul entertainment, however, we don't have long to go before we can watch Estonia participate at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

It will be Estonia's second time taking part in the competition, and their entry for Madrid is the song Tänavad, performed by ANNABELLE.

The show will be coming to us live at 18:00 CET on Saturday 16 November. Here's how you can watch, and here's how you can vote!
