News about Eurovision 2024

Fans can vote over the phone, by text or via the Eurovision app. Each person can vote up to 20 times, but voters will be unable to select their own country's entry. The public votes make up 50 per cent of the total vote, with the other half determined by a professional jury in each participating country.

The Grand Final will begin at 21:00 CEST and end around 01:00. If you have tickets to a Preview show the duration of each show should be the same as above. Around 2 hours and 15 minutes for a Semi-Final Preview and 4 hours for a Grand Final Preview.

On Tuesday 7 and Thursday 9 May, the Eurovision 2024 Semi-Finals were hosted by commentators Scott Mills and Rylan, live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, while over on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds Richie Anderson took the reins for the first time and led commentary on the airwaves.
