Donegal's Adgy announced as latest Eurosong 2025 act

Donegal pop singer Adgy has been revealed as the third artist in contention to represent Ireland at Eurovision 2025.

Real-name Andrew Carr, he joins Dubliner Bobbi Arlo and Galway's Reylta as the acts competing in this year's Late Late Eurosong Special on February 7, which determines who will go on to represent the country in Basel, Switzerland in May.

Adgy performed on Eurosong in 2023 with the track 'Too Good For Your Love'. This year's entry, 'Run into the Night', is described as a "Celtic pop anthem" and is produced by Ivan Kylmenko, the man behind Kalush Orchestra's 2022 Eurovision-winning tune 'Stefania'.

'Run into the Night' and an interview with Adgy will be aired on the RTÉ Radio 1's Ray D'Arcy Show today at 3pm, as will be the case with the remaining three acts throughout the rest of the week.

Hailing from Bunbeg, Adgy has been writing music in London for the past year. Boasting over 12 million streams, he has also penned deals with Universal Music Group and Spirit BMG.

Bambie Thug represented Ireland at last year's Eurovision, finishing sixth with their performance of 'Doomsday Blue'. Switzerland's Nemo was the overall winner with their track 'The Code'.

The 2024 edition, which took place in Malmö, Sweden, was also marred in controversy, much of which stemmed from the organisers' decision to allow Israel to take part and prevent pro-Palestinian symbols and messages from being displayed.

The contest was ultimately reviewed by an "independent expert" following the disqualification of the Netherlands' contestant Joost Klein over allegations of making verbal threats to a female production worker.
