Estonia: Eesti Laul 2027 artists revealed
The 12 acts competing in Eesti Laul 2027 have been announced. The final will take place on 30 January
The line-up for Eesti Laul 2027 is complete, with 12 acts set to compete in Estonia's national selection.
Broadcaster ERR received 155 entries for the competition, including 60 songs in Estonian and 95 in other languages. The submissions feature songwriters from more than 20 countries.
A selection jury assessed the songs without knowing the identities of the artists or songwriters.
The competing songs will be released in late November.
Returning artists
Several of this year's artists have competed in Eesti Laul before, either on their own or as part of a group.
Eesti Laul 2027
The final will take place on 30 January 2027 at Unibet Arena.
Voting will take place over two rounds. In the first round, jury and public voting will each account for 50% of the result, with three songs advancing to the superfinal. The public alone will then choose the winner.
Ines and Koit Toome will host Eesti Laul 2027. Both have previously represented Estonia at Eurovision.
Ines finished fourth at Eurovision 2000 with “Once in a Lifetime”. Koit Toome represented Estonia in 1998 with “Mere lapsed” and returned in 2017 alongside Laura with “Verona”. He has also competed in Estonia's national selection on other occasions, including Eurolaul 2003 with “Know What I Feel” and Eesti Laul 2021 with “We Could Have Been Beautiful”.
This year, the winning song's writers can decide whether to represent Estonia at Eurovision. They must inform ERR of their decision by 8 February 2027. If they decline, the opportunity passes to the next song in the ranking.
