Eurovision 2024: Israel’s First Rehearsal!
Next up on the stage of Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is Israel. Eden Golan with her song “Hurricane” is ready for her first rehearsal on the stage of Malmö Arena!
Who is Eden Golan?
Born in Israel and raised in Israel and Russia, Eden’s talents span singing, songwriting, composing, musical production and dancing.
Starting at the age of 9 years old, she garnered recognition by participating in competitions and winning numerous awards.
The young singer was the lead vocalist in a girl group for two years, captivating audiences on various stages, festivals and TV shows, before joining label and publishing house Session42 at the age of 18. She has tried to represent Russia in Junior Eurovision in 2015 and she was also a finalist on The Voice Kids in 2018.
Eden Golan won HaKokhav HaBa, an Israeli talent show via which the country’s act for Eurovision 2024 was selected. Her song “Hurricane” was selected at a later stage.
The Rehearsal
Next up in the Semi-Final running order will be Italy’s Angelina Mango, who isn’t rehearsing until Thursday. So instead we’re skipping straight to 20-year-old Eden Golan from Israel, singing her power-ballad Hurricane.
Eden isn’t just a talented singer – she’s also a songwriter, composer, producer and dancer. She won Israel’s biggest talent show HaKokhav HaBa (‘The Next Star’) back in February, along with the chance to represent Israel at Eurovision.
On stage we have our second big circular prop of the day – it’s the same style as Latvia’s, but smaller, lit up with neon and featuring a built-in wind machine. It’s also has ladders each side, so it can be used as a support for five dancers – three male, two female – who take their complex contemporary dance routine from around the circle to the front of the stage.
The dancers’ costumes are off-white and grey, to complement Eden’s long flowing dress. The whole performance has the same aesthetic as the official video – and as you’d expect for a song called Hurricane, the LED wall features lots of swirling colour. Our second big ballad of the day, with huge vocals to match. Photos soon!

It is just a shame that money speaks louder than ethnic cleansing. To the point where even the original lyrics were politically charged.
Isreal participates in the contest more the 50 years becouse of the many? This is sounds like antisemitism claims .
“ethnic cleansing”? I don’t think so.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, 16,000 Arabs lived in Gaza and today 2 million Arabs live there, this is not ethnic cleansing. This is a war imposed on Israel, a war that can be ended in one minute; Hamas, which is a terrorist organization, must immediately release all the Israeli abductees and disarm, this will surely bring an end to the war.
And a song is beautiful.
Hopefully TOP 5.
