Maria Isabel to perform as a special guest at Junior Eurovision 2024!

As the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest approaches, excitement is building for what promises to be a spectacular event hosted in Madrid, marking a historic moment for Spain. For the first time in fifty-five years, the Spanish capital will host a Eurovision event, adding to the significance of the show.

A symbolic Opening Act

In a heartwarming tribute to the history of Junior Eurovision, the Spanish audience will be treated to a special Opening Act that celebrates the past, present, and future of the contest.

The Opening Act will be a symbolic representation of the festival’s journey, with the theme of a garden — starting from the seed planted two decades ago to the blooming of a new generation of artists today. This visual metaphor ties into the artwork of this year’s contest, which emphasizes growth, unity, and the celebration of music across generations.

The Opening Act will feature three prominent Junior Eurovision figures. The one and only Spanish Junior Eurovision winner, Maria Isabel, will take the stage, on the twentieth anniversary of her victory in Lillehammer with her classic “Antes muerta que sencilla“.

Joining María Isabel on stage will be Zoé Clauzure, winner of Junior Eurovision 2023 for France and Sandra Valero, Spain’s representative in 2023, who secured a second-place finish in Nice.

All of them will join forces with the participating artist, singing a common song that reflects the spirit of unity and musical celebration. This performance will culminate in the traditional flag parade, where each country’s flag will be proudly displayed, marking the beginning of the show.

More Special Guests and Performances

As the Online Voting opens during the broadcast, Abraham Mateo, the 26-year-old Spanish singer and songwriter, will take to the stage with his hit song “Maníaca,” injecting even more energy into the vibrant atmosphere of the show.

With a stellar line-up of past and present Junior Eurovision stars, and the anticipation building for the 22nd edition of the competition, Junior Eurovision 2024 is set to be an unforgettable night. As Spain takes center stage, the country promises a celebration of music, unity, and the spirit of youthful talent — a fitting tribute to the legacy of the contest and its incredible journey over the past two decades.

Junior Eurovision 2024

The 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place tomorrow at 18:00 CET live from Caja Mágica in Madrid. Spain will host the event following the country’s second-place finish last year and the refusal of the winning country, France, to host for the second year in a row. The slogan for this year’s contest is “Let’s Bloom!”, while Ruth Lorenzo, Marc Clotet and Melani Garcia will serve as this year’s hosts.
