SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, has unveiled one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the upcoming Eurovision edition in Malmo! Ladies and gentlemen habemus hosts!

Eba Addielsson (Eurovision 2024 Executive Producer) says:

Malin Åkerman and Petra Mede combined together are nothing but an absolute dream duo. Malin, a wonderful personality and one of our most talented actors in Hollywood. Petra, an icon in the Eurovision context who has also been voted the best Eurovision host ever. I am incredibly proud and happy that these fantastic women will host the competition thoughout the Eurovision week in Malmö in May.

Petra Mede is a big and well known name when it comes to the Eurovision Song Contest having hosted the competition in 2013 (Malmo) and 2016 (Stockholm). She will be hosting the competition for the third time come May.

Petra Mede says:

Imagine getting the chance to host Eurovision once again! It’s such an incredible honor. After first hosting it alone and then together with the delightful Måns Zelmerlöw by my side, I am now really looking forward to working with Malin. We don’t know each other from before, but we have met a couple of times now, and I’m already completely sold. It’s going to be a joy to work with her!

Malin Akerman says:

I can’t really describe my feelings about this. I am very excited and a little nervous, but in a positive way. I have always liked Eurovision and to be a part of this fantastic show together with Petra is a dream come true. Additionally, Petra is one of the funniest women I’ve ever met.

The clock is ticking….

Malmo is very pleased to host Europe’s favorite television show for the very third time in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, having already hosted the event back in 1992 and 2013. Sweden is all set to welcome the Eurovision bandwagon for the seventh time, having hosted the event in Stockholm (1975, 2000, 2016), Malmo (1992, 2013) and Gothenburg (1985).

The clock is ticking as the countdown to the upcoming Eurovision edition has kicked off with 37 nations slated to compete in Liverpool!
