Austria was represented by Tie Break in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Du bist". Tie Break consists of Stefan di Bernardo, Tommy Pegram, and Thomas Elzenbaumer.

Before Eurovision

Song.Null.Vier

Song.Null.Vier was the national final that selected Austria's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004.

Competing entries

Nine of the ten competing artists were established Austrian acts, supplied by the country's record companies. The tenth act was a newcomer, chosen through a wildcard selection, where artists were able to submit their entries to ORF until 2 February 2004.[1] On 19 February 2004, ORF announced that André Leherb had been selected as the tenth act in the final.[2] Among the competing artists, Waterloo & Robinson previously represented Austria back in 1976 where they ended up in fifth position with "My Little World".

Final

The final was held on 5 March 2004, hosted by Boris Uran and Oliver Auspitz. The winner, "Du bist" performed by Tie Break, was selected by a public televote and SMS vote.[3]

At Eurovision

For the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, a semi-final round was introduced in order to accommodate the influx of nations that wanted to compete in the contest. Since Austria placed 6th in the previous contest year, Austria automatically qualified to compete in the final. They performed second, following Spain and preceding Norway ended 21st with 9 points. As Austria failed to reach the top 12 in the final, the country was forced to compete in the semi-final of the 2005 Contest.
