-

Winning the Eurovision Song Contest is always a cause for celebratio­n, but Sweden must have been especially thrilled when

Loreen finished first in 2023 with Tattoo. Not only did it bring their winning total to seven, meaning they now tie with Ireland as the most successful country in the contest’s history, it also allowed them to host this year, which marks the 50th anniversar­y of Abba giving them their iconic first win with Waterloo. The show comes from Malmö Arena, and is hosted by singer and two-time Eurovision presenter Petra Mede alongside Swedish-born Hollywood star Malin Akerman.
