Note: At time of writing, there have been calls for performers and the public to boycott this year's Eurovision Song Contest in protest against Israel's participation, in light of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Palestine Solidarity UK has an explanation of the reasons behind the boycott.
After a foray onto UK soil last year, the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest is being hosted in Malmö, Sweden, after that country's act, Loreen, took first place last year. It's apt too, 2024 being 50 years since a little Swedish act called ABBA won the competition. Wonder what happened to them..?
If you can't make it to Sweden, look out for London venues which are hosting Eurovision 2024 parties and screenings. However, be aware that due to the boycott action taking place due to Israel's inclusion in the event, several venues which usually screen Eurovision aren't doing so this year.
The final is due to be broadcast on BBC One on Saturday 11 May, with semi-finals on Tuesday 7 and Thursday 9 May.

Other details have yet to be announced, but we know it'll take place at Outernet on Sunday 7 April 2024.
