Live: Eurovision 2024 in crisis hours before Grand Final

Tonight’s the night The day of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 Grand Final has arrived, and it’s set to be anything but smooth sailing. Hours before the live show kicks off in Malmö, Sweden, the contest has been thrown into chaos with jurors pulling out and refusing to announce points, entrants making powerful statements during rehearsals, and performers missing flag parades.

Olly Alexander will be representing the UK with his song Dizzy, while Ireland’s Bambi Thug have emerged as surprise favourites after making it to their first Eurovision final in six years. The run-up to Malmö has been clouded in the controversy surrounding the European Broadcasting Union’s decision to allow Israel – represented by Eden Golan – to compete in light of the war in Gaza, with artists taking part – including Olly – facing calls to boycott the event.
