RTVE, the Spanish national broadcaster and the EBU, the European Broadcasting Union, have commenced the 2024 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid. But what is happening when?

Sunday 10th & Monday 11th November

The first rehearsals will take place over these two days, with each delegation allowed 40 minutes on stage and like the Eurovision Song Contest, these will be held behind closed doors. Across the two days, the artists will also be filming their Postcards, which will be done in front of a green screen.

On Sunday, the Opening Ceremony will take place in the evening. Again, like the first rehearsals, this will be held behind closed doors due to the current emergency situation within the country. On Monday, the artists will collaborate on the joint song, which will be performed during the interval.
