A successful return for The Grand Duchy
Luxembourg made a triumphant return to the Eurovision Song Contest this year after a 31 year absence. The country went all in with a national final that proved to be a hit with fans across Europe, which saw Eurovision 1984 host Désirée Nosbusch returning to hosting duties for her country.
A total of eight acts took to the stage with the hopes of becoming Luxembourg’s Eurovision 2024 representative. But it was 23 year old Tali Golergant was crowned the winner of the Luxembourg Song Contest with the song “Fighter”. At the contest in Malmö, Luxembourg comfortably qualified to the final with a top 5 result in the semi final. In the grand final, Tali achieved 13th place and 103 points for Luxembourg, their first left side finish since 1988.
