Final

The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest was held in Malmö, Sweden, following Loreen's historic 2023 win. It marked the third time the city had hosted the event. 37 countries participated under the slogan "United By Music," which was adopted as the permanent slogan for all future contests. The show, hosted by Malin Åkerman and Petra Mede, featured a unique 360-degree, cross-shaped stage placed in the middle of the audience. A key change saw the pre-qualified 'Big 5' and host Sweden perform their songs in full during the Semi-Finals for the first time. After 25 nations competed in the Grand Final, Switzerland's Nemo was crowned the winner with the song "The Code," securing the country's third victory. Croatia finished second after winning the public televote, with Ukraine, France, and Israel completing the top five.
