Exciting news has emerged as the Luxembourgian broadcaster RTL has officially declared its return to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024, marking the end of a nearly three-decade hiatus. This announcement has come as a pleasant surprise to many, particularly those who were disappointed by Luxembourg’s apparent lack of interest in the ESC since 1993. Considering Luxembourg’s remarkable track record in the competition, boasting an impressive five victories, two runner-up positions, and two third places, fans have long wondered why the nation withdrew in the first place. It’s worth noting that Luxembourg, being one of Europe’s wealthiest countries, does not face financial constraints as a reason for its absence from the contest.

As one of the founders of eurovisionlive.com I am responsible for the interviews with the singers and the editorial content. My passion for the Eurovision Song Contest exists since my early childhood. The exotic music, different cultures and languages have given a lot of inspiration to me. Since my very first ESC in Dublin 1994 I particularly appreciate the get together and friendship of all the nationalities and Riverdance was a thrill!
