Perth’s Electro Progressive Pop Metal outfit VOYAGER are competing at Eurovision Australia Decides this weekend.
The quintet will perform their song ‘Dreamer’ – a track that sees the band currently polling at #1 with the AussieVision Team Review and Rating and Public Polls. It seems that despite being an unfamiliar genre in the Australian competition, the band’s signature blend of pop and prog metal with added keytar have piqued the interest of Eurovision fans. The video for Dreamer just topped 100K Views in less than a month.
The Australian public are eligible to vote for their favourite performances via SMS from Friday 25 February at 10pm AEDT until Saturday 26 February at approximately 9:45pm AEDT. The public vote makes up half of the overall vote & the artist and song that receives the most points overall will go on to represent Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in May!

In the past few days – the band won the Aussievision’s Australia Decides 2022 public poll in their bid for Eurovision for the song “Dreamer”. The last two polls’ winners, Kate Miller-Heidke and Montaigne, went on to win ‘Australia Decides!’ The results can be seen HERE.
Danny Estrin, Vocals & Keytar for Voyager, thanked fans and Eurovision in late 2021, calling it a lifelong dream. He said about the new single “As humans, we tend to look to the stars and glorify what could be. Simply, Dreamer is about looking at the here, the now and valuing what we have around us. Especially over the last two years, hopes and dreams vs the tiny locked-down bubble we live in has been a constant push and pull… It’s good to be a dreamer, but the grass isn’t necessarily always greener. We’re bringing this track to ‘Eurovision – Australia Decides’ as our official entry and we can’t wait to finally be on stage again!”
Earlier this week, VOYAGER also announced their very own signature beer along with a very special contest! ‘𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙠𝙮’ is a juicy IPA brewed by Bright Tank Brewery and will go on sale on February 23 at THIS LOCATION!
The band and brewery have also partnered with Lumber Punk Axe Throwing for a very special contest. With every purchase of ‘𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙠𝙮,’ fans can grab a chance to join the band for an axe-throwing session courtesy of Lumber Punks Axe Throwing, and then on to Bright Tank to drink beer and do a meet and greet with all members of Voyager!
