Malmö Arena, Malmö, Sweden
The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place in the Malmö Arena on Saturday 11 May with Semi-Finals on Tuesday 7 and Thursday 9 May.
Swedish broadcaster SVT, together with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), will organise the Contest thanks to Loreen’s historic win in Liverpool in 2023.
It is the third time that Malmö has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest following 1992 and 2013 editions and it will be the first time the Eurovision Song Contest hasn’t visited a capital city for 5 consecutive Contests.
Sweden itself will host the Eurovision Song Contest for the 7th time in 2024 having previously also staged the competition in Stockholm in 1975, 2000 and 2016, in Gothenburg in 1985, and those Contests in Malmö.
United By Music
Following its hugely successful use by the BBC, it was agreed by SVT and the Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group (the Contest governing board), to use United By Music as the official slogan for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, as well.
Furthermore, it was decided to keep the slogan for all successive events as part of the Contest’s global brand strategy.
The Theme Art
'The Eurovision Lights' will serve as the theme art for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.
‘The Eurovision Lights’ is a concept based on simple linear gradients, inspired by the vertical lines that permeate both the northern lights and sound equalizers, and has been created to be a versatile identity that can be adapted according to need and devices.
37 Participants
The Running Orders of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Finals were revealed in March.
This year, the Big 5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) and our Hosts (Sweden) will perform in the Semi-Finals as part of the show, even though they are already pre-qualified for the Grand Final.
You can listen to all 37 songs right here.
The Stage
Movable LED cubes, LED floors, light, video and stage technology will combine to create some spectacular variations in the arena, while the stage is placed right in the middle of the audience, shaped like a cross, creating a unique 360-degree experience that the audience and viewers will get to experience in May.
The creative talents behind the concept are Florian Wieder, Production Designer, and Fredrik Stormby, Light and Screen Content Designer.
The Hosts
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest will be hosted by a Hollywood star and an iconic Eurovision-veteran; Malin Åkerman and Petra Mede will together lead the three broadcasts, live from Malmö Arena.
