The 2018 winner of Eurovision is Israel represented by singer Netta Barzilai.

Barzilai won the content with a #MeToo anthem ‘Toy’.

Israel pulled in 529 points to take Eurovision for 2018. Cyprus was second.

Australia’s Sony Music recording artist Jessica Mauboy made the final with her song ‘We Got Love’. She ended up in 20th place in the Grand Final.

Australia has been a contestant in Eurovision since 2015 due to an arrangement between the event and an arrangement with SBS Broadcasting Australia.

The 2015 inclusion of Sony Music Australia recording Guy Sebastian was meant to be a one-off to mark the 60th anniversary of Eurovision. In 2017, X Factor Australia winner Isaiah Firebrace represented the country.

Live Music Ticket Prices Reshape Global Concert Industry As Australia Faces ‘FOMO Economy’

by Paul Cashmere The cost of seeing live music has transformed dramatically over the past four decades, with arena and stadium concert ticket prices now outpacing inflation at a rate few other entertainment sectors can match. In the mid-1980s, a major concert ticket typically cost between $12 and $15. In 2026, premium tickets for the world's biggest tours regularly exceed $500, while VIP packages can stretch beyond $1,000. The shift has fundamentally changed not only the economics of touring, but also the behaviour of audiences in Australia, North America and Europe.
