Eurovision 2024 – Facts
Get to know a few fascinating facts about the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Trio
If a Latvian singer, Dons, had a chance to invite three famous people from any era – he would select Freddie Mercury, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Queen Elizabeth II.
Kylie
The Georgian singer Nutsa Buzaladze had an on-stage performance with a pop icon, Kylie Minogue. Who else in this tournament can brag about singing alongside Kylie?
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
Greek singer Marina Satti also has a resumé to boast about. She performed with a 10-time Grammy Award winner, American jazz songwriter, singer, and artist, Bobby McFerrin. In addition, she is one of the few people to perform inside a volcano.
No Rings or Earrings
Many artists try to explore how they can improve their style even more. Silvester Belt from Lithuania has become obsessed with a nose accessory. Rings and earrings became monotonous, so he wanted to discover a new jewellery type to add to his style.
No Live Eurovision Shows?
Luxembourg has not competed in the ESC since 1993, and after 31 years, they returned to the contest. The funniest part is that an Israeli-born Luxembourgish singer, TALI, was born in 2000, and she has never seen a live performance of her country in Eurovision.
This year, she will experience what it feels like to be a part of the European music family and will witness that Eurovision is a thing. Nevertheless, Luxembourg, Spain, and Israel are the three countries that lifted the Eurovision trophy on two consecutive occasions.
• Spain – 1968, 1969
• Luxembourg – 1972, 1973
• Israel – 1978, 1979
