The Luxembourg Song Contest will return on January 30, 2027, at the Rockhal in Belval, broadcaster RTL has confirmed. For the 2027 edition, the network is introducing a dual-track application process, allowing artists to audition independently of songs while enabling songwriters to submit compositions for a new “pairing workshop” designed to match talent with music.
Evolving the National Selection Process
RTL is shifting its strategy for the 2027 Eurovision cycle by separating the search for vocalists from the songwriting phase. According to the broadcaster, this new format aims to broaden the pool of potential representatives by removing the requirement for singers to have a pre-selected song when they first apply.
The application window for performing artists remains open until September 20, with auditions scheduled for October. Meanwhile, songwriters have until October 29 to submit their original compositions. By organizing a dedicated “pairing workshop,” RTL intends to curate the final entries for the Luxembourg Song Contest 2027 through a collaborative effort, rather than relying solely on pre-packaged submissions.
A Brief History of Luxembourg at Eurovision
Luxembourg’s return to the Eurovision stage in 2024 marked the end of a 31-year hiatus. Since its comeback, the national final has produced three distinct winners: TALI with Fighter, Laura Thorn with La Poupée Monte Le Son, and Eva Marija with Mother Nature.
Historically, the Grand Duchy is one of the competition’s most successful nations. Having participated in the inaugural contest in 1956, Luxembourg has claimed victory five times. Over the decades, the country has sent iconic musical figures to the stage, including France Gall, Vicky Leandros, Baccara, Lara Fabian, and Nana Mouskouri.
