The artists that have qualified tonight will join the acts that qualified from the first semi-final:
Tautumeitas represented Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with “Bur man laimi”. Latvia finished 13th in the final scoring 158 points, including 12 points from the juries of Denmark, Lithuania and the United Kingdom, and 12 points from the public in Lithuania. This was Latvia’s best result in the contest since 2015.
Latvia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000, being the last of the Baltic nations to join the contest. On their debut, Brainstorm finished in 3rd place with the song “My Star”. Latvia won the contest for the first time in 2002, with Marie N’s “I Wanna”. Latvia only participated in 2002 thanks to the withdrawal of Portugal from the contest, as Latvia’s poor result in 2001 had relegated them from the 2002 contest. Latvia struggled in the contest after 2002, failing to qualify for the final for six years in a row between 2009 and 2014. After a non-qualification streak that lasted 7 years, Latvia eventually qualified in 2024 with Dons and “Hollow”.
