The song “Edge of the Earth”, with which the band Sheppard intended to represent Australia at Eurovision 2024 in Malmö, was released yesterday.

The entry’s reveal was scheduled for today, while a few days ago The Voyager, last year’s representatives, teased us with the announcement of their successors.
For the second consecutive year, SBS opted for an internal selection in order to decide its Eurovision 2024 act. No information was given regarding the procedure, while the rumors were excessive. Names like Delta Goodrem, Dannii Minogue and Dami Im were circulating as the potential Australian representatives with all of the aforementioned denying these rumors later.
It appears that Electric Fields were SBS pick for Eurovision 2024 and everyone else was just fans’ wishful thinking.
Electric Fields is an Australian electronic music duo made up of vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and keyboard player and producer Michael Ross. Electric Fields combine modern electric-soul music with Aboriginal culture.
They are no strangers to the Eurovision community. Electric Fields took part in the country’s first national final, Australia Decides – Eurovision 2019, where they placed second behind Kate Miller-Heidke with their song “2000 and Whatever“.

Amidst the rumors circulating in recent days suggesting Dami Im would represent Australia in this year’s competition, her manager swiftly denied this possibility, stating that the popular artist will not participate in Eurovision 2024.
It all started with the Kyle and Jackie O radio show, where it was mentioned that Dami Im would make a comeback to the competition after eight years. However, Ken Outch, Im’s manager, debunked these rumors, saying:
“I can confirm that Dami has not been approached for Eurovision this year. Dami is focused on writing for her new album and preparing for the upcoming release of Korean books.”
Australia will announce its representative and song on March 6. The land of kangaroos will participate in the second half of the first semifinal.
Until the announcement of Australia’s representative, let’s remember Dami Im’s previous participation in the contest, where she holds the record for the best placement in Eurovision, finishing second.

Back in December, a Eurovision tweet reposted by the world-renowned artist Dannii Minogue sparked widespread speculation about her potential Eurovision participation.
While Eurovision fans were excited about the possibility of seeing the Australian star perform on the Eurovision stage, it turns out that it was all wishful thinking.
On the “Jackie O and Kyle Show”, Dannii Minogue denied rumors that she would represent Australia at Eurovision 2024. When questioned by the radio show host, Dannii responded that:
Oh my God it’s the weirdest thing, it’s not like I can’t say anything. All I did was respond to a “tweet” from Eurovision because I am a massive fan, that’s all that has happened.
Moreover, when asked whether she would try it in the future, she mentioned that:
I don’t know that I would have the strength to get through it. I saw Dami do it, Kate did it bending around on this pole. Like guys, I am 52! I am not J-Lo at Superbowl.
It appears that Dannii’s hesitation to try the Eurovision experience stems from her uncertainty about her ability to keep up with the extensive preparations.
Dannii Minogue is a singer, presenter, and actress. Her career began in the 1980s and is still going strong today. She has released numerous albums and singles and her success has extended beyond Australia’s borders. She has served as a judge on several music talent shows, including The X Factor UK! Danii was also awarded as the Australian TV Personality of the Year in 2011. She is currently hosting a BBC dating show.

Malmö with a very nice event hosted a few minutes ago the draw for the semi-finals of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.
The analyzes of the fans and not only, have been on fire for a few minutes now. Since the theories based on the pre-history of the countries in the competition, it is a first insight into how passable the qualification to the final is or not. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions, about who will go through to the final and who are the favorites to say goodbye to Malmö early…
Presenters of the Eurovision 2024 semi-final draw were Pernilla Månsson Colt and Farah Abadi. It is worth mentioning that Pernilla Månsson Colt was also the presenter of the corresponding draw in 2013, eleven years ago when Malmö hosted the Eurovision Song Contest for the last time. Both of them are part of the SVT staff, being some of the most beloved faces of the Swedish state broadcaster.
During the draw, the ceremony of handing over and accepting the emblem of the contest took place. The mayor of Liverpool, Steven Rotheram, formally handed over the “keys to the event” to the mayor of Malmö, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh.
With the big winner of last year’s competition, Sweden, directly in the final, along with the Big 5 (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain), the first part of the draw determined the semi-final that the direct finalists would vote for.
Will vote in the 1st Semi-Final:
Will vote in the 2nd Semi-Final:
In the semi-final that the six aforementioned countries were drawn to broadcast and vote for, the video from their dress rehearsal will also be shown. This was done at Eurovision 2016 for the first time, for reasons of equal exposure of the countries directly in the final and the countries that qualify from the semi-finals. Essentially, viewers see each entry twice during the shows.
The allocation draw for the two semi-finals had two parts. In the first part the 31 countries participating in the semi-finals were drawn in which of the two they will compete in. Fifteen countries will compete in the first semi-final and sixteen in the second semi-final.
In the second part, each country learned whether it will appear in the first or second half of the semi-final in which it will compete. The exact order of appearance will be determined by the EBU and the show’s producers at a later date.
1st Semi-final (May 7):
1st Half
2nd Half
2nd Semi-Final (May 9):
1st Half
2nd Half
Malmö will host the 68th Eurovision Song Contest from 7 to 11 May at the Malmö Arena. The motto of this year’s event, as chosen by the organisers, is “United by Music“, retaining the motto first chosen for last year’s contest in Liverpool.

Stay tuned to Eurovisionfun for all the developments regarding Eurovision 2024!
At 19:00 CET and live from Malmö, Sweden, the draw for the Eurovision 2024 semi-finals will take place tonight.
During today’s event, there will also be a handover of the event’s banner from the city of Liverpool to the city of Malmö. For this reason, both the Mayor of Liverpool, Steven Rotheram, and the Mayor of the Swedish city, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, will be present at today’s draw.
The hosts of tonight’s draw for the semi-finals of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest will be Pernilla Månsson Colt and Farah Abadi. It is worth mentioning that Pernilla Månsson Colt was the presenter of the equivalent draw in 2013, eleven years ago when Malmö hosted the Eurovision Song Contest for the last time.
The first part of the draw will determine which semi-final will be broadcast and voted for by each of the six countries that are directly in the final on 11 May (Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom).
The second part of the draw will determine which semi-final and which half the other 31 participating countries will compete in. As in recent years, the exact order of appearance will be determined by the event producers at a later date.
The 31 countries have been divided into five pots, based on historical voting patterns as calculated by Eurovision’s official voting partner, Digame.
Drawing countries from different pots aims to reduce the likelihood of so-called neighbour voting and increases the suspense in the semi-finals.

So in the evening, we all tune in for the draw of the semi-finals of our favourite contest. You can watch the draw on the official Eurovision channel on YouTube.

The draw will be hosted by Pernilla Månsson Colt and Farah Abadi and fans will be able to watch on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.
The Allocation Draw will determine whether countries participate in the First Semi-Final (Tuesday 7 May at 21:00 CEST) or the Second Semi-Final (Thursday 9 May at 21:00 CEST). Also randomly allocated is whether a country will perform in the first or second half of the Semi-Final they’ve drawn.
Sweden as the Host Country and reigning champion respectively, along with the other 6 members of the so-called ‘Big 6’ participating countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom) do not compete in the Semi-Finals, but their domestic audiences do get to vote in one of them… so before the competing countries are allocated a place in a Semi-Final, it will be randomly determined which of the Semi-Finals the Big 6 will each be allowed to vote on.
The next part of the draw will determine in which Semi-Final and in which half of the respective Semi-Final the other 31 participating countries will perform in.
