SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, have announced the return of a fan favourite, ahead of the Melodifestivalen 2024 Grand Final tomorrow night.

Bella Qvist returns to the commentary booth to lead the proceedings, however Olivia Le Poidivin will sadly not be joining her for 2024. The English commentary feed can be found HERE. Bella Qvist had the following to say:

“I am beyond excited to return to the commentator booth in Friends Arena. There is no feeling quite like sitting there watching the Melfest final surrounded by thousands of screaming fans, watching as messages pour in from people in 30+ countries watching along with us. I have to pinch myself every time.

The love for Melodifestivalen from the international community is fantastic and it’s nothing but a privilege to get to convey the message of Melfest to everyone who doesn’t (yet) speak Swedish.”

Anders Wistbacka, Melodifestivalen Project Manager, had the following to say:

“Melodifestivalen is very popular all over Europe and other parts of the world and it feels fantastic to be able to offer this broadcast to all our fans abroad.”
