Eurovision 2024: Malmö Arena

[Hak]

With ESC 2023 season nearing it's end it might be a good idea to think about the future of the contest.

What're our hopes for the organizers and host city?

Should China, Russia or the US be invited as one off guest participants? Will Bulgaria, Luxemburg or Turkey make a beloved return?

What can the EBU do to encourage variety and competitiveness so that we don't always have the same artists or counties winning every year?

When it comes to hosting duties Petra Mede is seemingly out due to a combination of working for the competing TV4 and ever increasing back pain issues. Sanna Nielsen who was on stand by to stand in for Petra in 2016 is the hot favourite for next years hosting duties (with Sarah Dawn Finer again playing second fiddle). Måns seems like the obvious male counterpart.

[Hak]

Sanna Nielsen already vying for the presenter gig!

Is it too early?

God, imagine the state of Phillip Kirkorov by 3120

Should China, Russia or the US be invited as one off guest participants?

Yes so we can boo them off the stage.

I regret this as I will be singing BLUE JEANS AND BLOODY TEARS all bloody day now.

I know it's just an early prototype but this would've surely qualified from SF2 in 2023.

 

[Penelope]

The thing is this one actually *would've* been funny if you'd saved it just for this and weren't constantly jumping the gun and eating tomorrow's packed lunch for pudding with thread topics!

Quite.

So very tired.

So very tired.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Really ?

DEAD! !

 

[Hak]

Hopefully not happening next year.

 

[Suedehead]

Hopefully not happening next year.

What does this mean? Sorry I don't understand

 

[Hak]

Then we'll be left without the second presenter.

 

[dmlaw]

May I suggest that we delete this thread and have a BETTER Eurovision 2024 general chat thread?

 

[Alex]

So Gothenburg maybe this time ?

 

[Madíson]

There are issues with the Scandinavium. I’ve heard Stockholm or Malmö again.

 

[Inner Smile]

Its a year away. You are taking the bloody piss

 

[Inner Smile]

I'm not having it

NOT ON MY WATCH

The Avicii Arena/Globen is closed for renovation in 2024 so most likely between the Friends Arena and Malmö Arena.

Plenty of us will have cancellable hotels booked already, or will be (or should be) booking something now.

 

[Sheena]

Malmö please! I’ve already booked my place with my Swedish “family”.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Would they really consider Malmö again so soon after they hosted the last Swedish contest?

Stockholm had it more recently and Gothenburg is seemingly out. How many venues do you think have arenas big enough?

LINKOPING 2024!

 

[Hak]

I've already booked a stay in Malmö for the most likely week.

[Inner Smile]
