The tableau for the ESC 2024 is constantly filling up. But it’s still a long way to have a complete list. This weekend is packed with exciting shows: four national finals and two semi-finals and tomorrow we will face four new songs for Malmö.
Denmark
The Danish final “Dansk Melodi Grand Prix” will take place in the DR Konserthuset in Copenhagen and will be hosted by Stéphanie Surrugue & Sara Bro. A jury has selected eight finalist for the final. And there will be jury- and televoting. Interesting to see is that Basim is giving it another try, he represented Denmark in 2014 in Copenhagen and made a 9th place with “Cliché Love Song”.
These are the eight entries:
- Aura Dione – “Mirrorball of Hope”
- Basim – “Johnny”
- CHU CHU – “The Chase (Zoom Zoom)”
- Janus Wiberg – “I Need Your Love”
- RoseeLu – “Real Love”

The show can watched at 20.00 CET
Estonia
The beloved Eesti Laul will have its final night. It will be hosted by Tõnis Niinemets & Grete Kuld, who also hosted the semi-final two weeks ago in Tartu. Tonight’s final will take place in Tallinn and there are 10 finalist to cross fingers for. Five of the finalist have been set directly, while the other five come from the semi-final, this is a new concept. In tonight’s final there will also be a super-final with the top 3 acts.
