Malmö is set to dazzle as the host city for Eurovision 2024, with the city's heart beating in rhythm to the Eurovision beat from May 4th to 11th.
This year, the Eurovision Village will spring to life in the iconic Folkets Park, turning it into a melting pot of music, culture, and festivity. The park, known as Sweden’s oldest and a beloved spot in Malmö, will be the epicenter for fans, residents, and international visitors to gather and celebrate the spirit of Eurovision.
Adjacent to this, Eurovision Street will breathe musical life into Friisgatan, transforming the car-free zone into a vibrant boulevard of flavors and sounds, representing cuisines and cultures from across the globe. This will not just be a passageway but a destination, offering endless opportunities for encounters, experiences, and socializing.
A stone’s throw away, Malmö Live Congress and Concert Hall is poised to become the pulsating heart of Eurovision’s nightlife. As the venue for the EuroClub and the Grand Final Party, it promises an unforgettable blend of music, dance, and celebration. The location’s proximity to key transport links ensures that the Eurovision bubble—spanning the arena, village, and street—is within easy reach for all.
Underpinning these festivities is Malmö’s commitment to sustainability and accessibility. Efforts have been made to ensure that all events are easily reachable by public transportation, bike, or foot, reflecting the city’s green ethos and its aim to provide an inclusive experience for everyone. Karin Karlsson, the city’s managing director for the event, and Ebba Adielsson, executive producer at SVT for Eurovision 2024, both emphasize Malmö’s readiness to showcase its creative and bold spirit, welcoming hundreds of thousands to a collective celebration of music and diversity.
The events planned across Malmö for Eurovision 2024 highlight the city’s vibrant cultural scene, from fixed stages featuring both mainstream and niche genres to mobile performances and collaborations with local organizations. This year, Eurovision is not just about the competition; it’s a city-wide festival celebrating the unity and diversity that music brings, promising a memorable experience for all who journey to Malmö.
