The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 was the 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Malmö, Sweden, following the country’s victory at the 2023 contest with the song “Tattoo” by Loreen.
Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT), the contest was held at the Malmö Arena, and consisted of two semi-finals on 7 and 9 May, and a final on 11 May 2024.
It was the third edition of the contest to take place in Malmö, which hosted it in 1992 and 2013, and the seventh in Sweden, which last hosted it in Stockholm in 2016.
Who took part?
Eligibility for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with an active EBU membership capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide. The EBU issues invitations to participate in the contest to all members.
For the 2024 contest, eligible countries had until 15 September 2023 to send the EBU confirmation of their participation and until 11 October 2023 to withdraw without facing financial penalties.
37 countries publicly confirmed their intention to participate. Luxembourg returned to the contest 31 years after its last participation in 1993.
