🎶🎵🎸🥁Eurovision 2024🎷🪇🎵🎶
 

Given the shenanigans of the 2023 thread, I think it’s best I create this now before we have another **** show.

So, can we expect the host city to be Malmo?

I think its almost certain going to be Stockholm

What makes you say that?

Its 50 years since Abba won and they took the contest to Stockholm

Ah makes sense.

It will be an Abba special!

:amazed:

I’m sure the Eurovision all stars will sing an ABBA medley. Like the Liverpool songs medley this year.

Sweden, gets it.

Loads of BBC Workers on long Jolly's

I haven't watched it since I was about 12. It's so dull. :p

I don't think you'd call Croatia's entry this year dull.:laugh:

It’s worth watching ( even on mute ) just for the lighting / laser shows for each performance

Maybe, but I mean the whole event, long and drawn out.:sleep:

I usually record this type of thing and then fast forward through all the crud .. same with BGT etc

am looking forward to Luxembourg, what they have to offer these days

the former powerhouse nation


and who else is returning

maybe Andorra, Susanna Georgi gives it another attempt


Monaco could be likely, with new broadcaster which launches this september


Bosnia & Herzegovina, their first artist Fazla is working on their return too

I would like to see Turkiye give it a shot again.

depends on second round of elections if Erdogan loses ;)


his opponent said he wants Turkiye back at ESC

And give MAnGa the win that they deserved the first time around.:dance:

Turkiye not returning then to this stupid gayfest



i love turkish music so much though

although i wasn't counting on their return lol as they got such shady elections


Monaco though seems quite likely with their return with a new broadcaster


Montenegro i hope so too, same goes with North Macedonia



and i hope Susanna Georgi has more luck this time around for Andorra's comeback



i'd love for Morocco to join us again for a second participation (would be 44 yrs since their debut in 1980) and we do need some arab language representation again tbh, otherwise i'll also be happy about a Qatar debut



i hope Romania is staying but opting internal selection this time around, their NF is clearly not working anymore and they do have good artists (many at Cat Music label are fab, i listen to many of that one's releases, very cheesy, summer pop vibes)



Greece might go for a national final concept maybe, to give greek public a chance to decide their entry again

Malmo is confirmed as the host city.

great to have an official thread going forward

Awkward for this to be the second post on the Eurovision 2024: Malmo thread.

Miss Netta 2.0

----------
rumours

Greece: might consider bringing a national final back

Netherlands: a return of the Nationaal Songfestival is mentioned

Moldova: not confirmed officially but i guess Etapa Nationala

Croatia: likely Dora 2024

Denmark: likely Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2024

Portugal: very likely Festival Da Cancao 2024

Poland: probably a national final

Czechia: due to recent success with Vesna, We Are Domi, another ESCZ national final?

San Marino: could be Una Voce Per San Marino 2024, unless someone with money demands an internal selection

Slovenia: i'd say either internal with a big name, or return to the EMA national selection


Belgium: its wallonia now, so internal selection with some unknown young rising talent i guess (2025 might be eurosong national final again with flanders i think)

Latvia: Supernova 2024 i think

Lithuania: Pabandom Is Naujo 2024 very likely

Romania: return to internal selection if they are in, also could see them going into a more fun uptempo route again after this years disasters 0 points (which public are mainly to blame for, when they had a uptempo banger in the NF, Perinita Mea who would've done better)


France: could be a return to the 2021/2022 national final concept after this years internal flop with La Zarra :think:


Ukraine: Vidbir 2024 from that bunker venue i think

Azerbaijan: internal selection, going for something from swedish composers to play it safer i guess

Armenia: Depi Evratesil if no big names apply, otherwise internal

Georgia: maybe The Voice of Georgia, or internal selection
--------
yet to confirm participation countries

Albania: very likely with Festival I Kenges
Serbia: likely with Pezma Za Evroviziju
Germany: i think Unser Lied fur Malmo
