The Eurovision Song Contest will return to Sweden after Loreen’s historic second win in Liverpool, and the host has finally been chosen. The 68th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in the Swedish city of Malmö, which will host the competition for the third time.
Martin Österdahl, the executive supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, announced their selection in an official statement, adding that Malmö felt like a perfect choice after hosting the contest both in 1992 and in 2013 following Loreen’s last win.
“Malmö holds a special place in the history of the Contest… 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,” said Österdahl.
Ebba Adielsson, SVT’s executive producer of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, added that they received strong, compelling, and creative proposals from several cities. Malmö was eventually chosen because it provides a location with great venues, where everyone attending the contest can move around easily.
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest will take place at the Malmö Arena after Swedish singer Loreen made history as the first woman to win the competition twice with her song “Tattoo”.
