SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, have announced the Host City of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest.

SVT have revealed that Malmö will be the Host City of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest – this follows the 1992 and 2013 Contests. The Grand Final will take place on May 11th, while the Semi Finals will take place on May 7th & 9th.

Martin Österdahl, Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, had the following to say:

“The EBU is thrilled that Malmö has been selected as the Host City for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

Malmö holds a special place in the history of the Contest, having successfully hosted it firstly in 1992 and then in 2013 – following Loreen’s last win. We’re excited to be returning to this vibrant and dynamic city which has demonstrated it has the venues and infrastructure that are perfect for staging the world’s largest live music event. Malmö’s commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and innovation aligns perfectly with the spirit of the competition.

Furthermore, its compact size and well-developed transport infrastructure means everyone involved in the Contest, including delegations, media, and fans will be able to navigate the city easily. Its commitment to sustainability and green initiatives also aligns perfectly with our own values, making it an ideal Host City for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. Malmö’s bid demonstrated a huge passion for the Eurovision Song Contest, and I have full confidence in their ability to create an unforgettable experience that will bring together fans, artists, and viewers across the globe. Together with Host Broadcaster SVT, we will create an extraordinary celebration of music, unity, and diversity that will captivate the world in May next year.”
