Off to... Malmö They went there last time Loreen won too  (Also, I believe after Loreen won both times, when she was asked she said she wanted Stockholm and both times... they ignored her lmao)

I had a great time there in 2013 (and an ok time when we went to see a Melodifestivalen heat there in 2019), but was really hoping for Stockholm this time. I don't rate Malmö massively as a city, and there are no hotels left already, so realistically - as I did in 2013 - you have to stay over the bridge in Copenhagen and you're adding the cost of constantly going backwards and forwards on the train, and the difficulty getting back there in the early hours. We also have a friend who lives near Stockholm that we could have stayed with - never mind!
Still, Malmö did host it really well in 2013 so they've already got a very recent blueprint to return to and improve on. And it's a bigger venue than the Liverpool venue, so hopefully tickets will be slightly easier to get for rehearsals etc... |

SO HAPPY! I took a risk after seeing Loreen perform on the Tuesday Semi Final family show, and booked a hotel in Malmo... and the guess came true! Now just praying they don't cancel it as it's £199 for 6 nights which is a STEAL compared to what it'll be now

Makes sense after basically all of the Stockholm options were ruled out - Malmö is a pretty "safe" bet all told. Plus, lets be real, Stockholm will have another chance before too long I imagine!

They must be fuming that they sold it so cheap The cheapest there now is thousands of pounds.Another nice town very close to Malmö is Lund, 20 mins on the train iirc. Not sure how many hotels it's likely to have though. |

Apparently the train over the bridge is 24 hours though so not so bad if can stay fairly close to the station in Copenhagen.

That's good, I'm sure in 2013 there was definitely a 'last train' people were scrambling for, but to be fair, I think it was at like 2am so plenty of time to get to it after the show finished. I was quite happy staying in Copenhagen in 2013 (the double bonus of seeing that city too), although obviously you end up racking up quite a bit in train fare going to and fro for a week. Still a cheaper option though. Outside the Eurovision events that will be on, Malmö itself isn't the sort of city most people would probably want to spend days exploring as a tourist, so I expect people will welcome the opportunity to have Copenhagen to explore too. And I really do recommend a few hours in Lund too! |

North Macedonia are planning to return https://escxtra.com/2023/09/17/north-macedo...urovision-2024/ - broadcaster has a PDF of their plans for next year publicly available with the intent to participate in Eurovision 2024 stated there.
good to see that they want to come back and I would guess they're on the confirmed list if this document is out there although their finances do look a little on the low side for what they've allocated for it. |

Multiple sources (French HoD, Albanian RTSH's general director (???) ) are claiming there are 41 countries participating in the end. We currently have 35 countries confirmed. Which 6 other countries do you think will join the list? Do you think we will have 41 countries?
North Macedonia looks likely to return. Australia, Armenia and Romania have not confirmed yet but I think they will participate. That leaves us with 2 spots, and Montenegro and Slovakia seem like the most likely returnees from what I've heard in my Eurovision circle. |

Assuming it's not some misspeaking, and it might just be that, we may get to the list and it just has 38 or 39, it does take a reach to get to 41.
The 37 last year + Luxembourg (confirmed) + North Macedonia (reports look likely) + Montenegro (no info but only other country that is both an in-out participant and hasn't already confirmed out before now) only takes us to 40. To get us the last one we do have to be looking at someone who's already indicated they're not returning like Slovakia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Hungary, Andorra, Turkey, Monaco or perhaps a debutant like Kazakhstan. As Luxembourg was announced with such fanfare, if it's a returnee then it's probably some nation taking a long time to negotiate particulars with the EBU, which could be why the list isn't out yet. Turkey and Hungary I think we can say aren't in, A Dal's schedule is out with no mention of Eurovision and both have indicated it'd take a major shift in their political leadership before they return to the contest. Andorra and Monaco are probably watching the Luxembourg participation. Bosnia and Bulgaria are both on the 'we'll only enter if someone super rich personally funds the entry' train, so it could be one of them, more likely Bulgaria. Slovakia already confirmed not in pretty early on as always - I am seeing a (potentially incredibly bullshit) instagram post about a previously announced non-participant 'regretting' announcing that so that could be them, but I'm placing no faith in it. I've often thought Czechia somehow keeping regular participation has to be getting them to notice but there's been no movement on it for so long. Kazakhstan would be... odd. It's so much more obviously a nation outside of Europe than the Caucasus lot even if technically they have the same justification for participating. But if I had to pick a country from this list they'd be one of the more likely ones, strangely. |
