What the expert says...
Sweden will host the event in 2024 after winning Eurovision in Liverpool in 2023
Loreen was an impressive winner in the UK last year with Liverpool hosting the Eurovision Song Contest and the Swedish singer won the event for the second time.
The Swedish star won with the song 'Tattoo' and she will likely perform once again the Song Contest this year as the reigning champion with the event being held in Sweden.
The Eurovision Song Contest will take place at the Malmö Arena in Sweden on Tuesday 7 May (First Semi-Final), Thursday 9 May (Second Semi-Final) and Saturday 11 May (Grand Final) 2024.
