Ladies and gentlemen, Armenia has unveiled its Eurovision 2024 act and entry for Malmo!

Ladaniva will have the grand honour of representing Armenia at the forthcoming 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo.

AMPTV, the Armenian national broadcaster, has opted for an internal selection in order to select the Armenian 2024 Eurovision entry and act.

David Tserunyan (AMPTV/ Armenian Head of Delegation) says:

This year we’re thrilled to present a unique and multi-cultural entry that will make everyone dance their hearts out and carry a meaningful message with a fun and light spirit! Jaklin and Louis create songs from everyday life experiences, and soon you will hear the story of a free girl – breaking societal stereotypes.

Hovhannes Movsisyan (AMPTV Executive Director) says:

Ladaniva will bring their colourful and contagious energy to Eurovision. Being both a musical and artistic ethnic mix, Armenia’s entry is going to inspire cultural bridges.

Jaklin says:

Lada Niva is a car that goes anywhere and climbs undiscovered heights, just like we do in our band. We’re excited for this opportunity and ready to spice up Eurovision 2024 with our musical diversity.
