Eurovision 2024 gets closer and closer by the day, as the technical rehearsals have officially started at the Malmö Arena.
Sneak peeks from the technical rehearsals
Crew members have shared little snippets of technical rehearsals on their social media, giving us small previews of what to expect in Malmö. This reveals that there will be special cubic platforms with lights that will spin around and change positions throughout the performances. Another short clip shows some of the camera angles from the Netherlands’ performance and how quickly they move. Official rehearsals will kick off in just over a week from now, starting on Saturday the 27th of April.
About Eurovision 2024
The Nordic country will host the 68th edition of the competition. This is after Loreen’s historic win at Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool. One month after the 2023 contest took place, SVT revealed the first names of the Core Team that will work on the competition. SVT completed the team in September.
In July 2023, after a shortlist of four cities, it was announced that Malmö would host Eurovision 2024. The city will spend up to €2.5 million for the contest. Additionally, they will have 600 volunteers working for the show.
As for the upcoming contest, there will be 37 countries participating. Luxembourg will be returning, whilst Romania withdraws. ‘United By Music’ will be the permanent slogan for the contest. The upcoming contest will have ‘The Eurovision Lights’ as the theme art. The stage, designed by Florian Wieder and Fredrik Stormby was revealed in December.
