Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest

Luxembourg took part in the very first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956, and has won the competition on 5 occasions.

Their first victory came in 1961 thanks to Jean-Claude Pascal and Nous Les Amoureux (‘We The Lovers’); ambiguous gender references in the lyrics allowed the Parisian to sing about a homosexual relationship at a time when such a topic would not have been discussed as openly as it would today.

Another win followed in 1965, when France Gall took the trophy with Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son (‘Wax Doll, Rag Doll’) - a song packed with double entendre, wordplay, and puns, and no less controversy than the previous victory.

Wins for Vicky Leandros and Anne-Marie David in 1972 and 1973 respectively, and a fifth victory in 1983 thanks to Corinne Hermès, cemented the Grand Duchy’s prominence as one of the most successful nations in Eurovision history.

Luxembourg returned to the Contest in 2024 after a 31-year absence, represented by TALI and her song Fighter.
