The queen of the competition, Ireland, wants to end its run of failures in recent years and hopes to do so by selecting an entry worthy of its history in the contest. So Ireland chooses its representative at Eurovision 2024 tonight, with the grand final of Eurosong 2024 – The Late Late Show taking place in Dublin.

Patrick Kielty will be the host of the Irish final, with Marty Whelan behind the scenes, engaging in conversations with the participating artists.

The Finalists

Out of the 380 songs submitted to RTÉ in recent months, six have been chosen to compete for the chance to represent Ireland at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö‎‎. The finalists are:

  1. Isabella Kearney – “Let Me Be The Fire”
  2. Bambie Thug – “Doomsday Blue”
  3. JyellowL ft. Toshín – “Judas”
  4. Ailsha – “Go Tobann”
  5. Next In Line – ”Love Like Us”
  6. Erica Cody – “Love Me Like I Do”

Selection Process

The representative for Ireland at Eurovision 2024 will be chosen through a combination of public voting, international jury voting, and a national jury.

Eurosong 2024 – The Late Late Show is scheduled to begin at 22:35 CET and will run for two hours. Viewers can catch the event on RTÉ One by tuning in HERE.

In the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 held in Liverpool, Ireland was represented by Wild Youth with the song “We Are One.” Unfortunately, they fell short of making it to the Grand Final, finishing 12th in the First Semi-Final with 10 points.

  • Entries must not exceed three minutes.
  • Entries must not have been performed live or released before 1 September 2023.
  • Songwriters may only submit one song each.

A shortlist of performers will be selected to appear in a televised national selection in early 2024. The exact format of the selection is yet to be confirmed. Submissions are only accepted via the RTÉ website here

Ireland: Cruachan submitted an entry for Eurovision 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

RTÉ, Ireland’s national broadcaster, has confirmed its participation in Eurovision 2024 and will hold a national final selection process once again.

The submissions’ deadline is Friday 29th of September 2023. Artists and songwriters are invited to submit their songs on RTE‘s website with the Irish broadcaster emphasizing that is searching for experienced artists.

In fact, we may have the first contender for the Irish representation in Eurovision 2024. Cruachan, a well known Irish metal-folk band, has expressed its interest for Eurovision. They also tried their luck in 2023 but were not selected in the final lineup. Cruachan informed us via its social media that it has already submitted an entry into consideration for Eurovision 2024. Specifically:

We’ve submitted our entry for consideration to represent Ireland in Eurovision 2024. When we made the submission last year we said its time for Ireland to stop sending pop music and take a chance on something different. Another pop song was sent and again did not make the final. We believe Ireland’s greatest strength is our traditional music, and traditional music has always been Cruachan’s greatest strength.
Our submission, Talamh, is as true a Cruachan song as there could ever be. This was in the early stages to appear on the next album but we decided we would take it, shorten it, and use it for Eurovision. We love Eurovision and would be honoured to represent our country there. Hopefully we at least get to the televised final and the public can then make the ultimate decision.
#cruachanforeurovision

In an newer post, they also mentioned that “Talamh“, their submitted entry, will be dilingual. The verses are in English and the chorus in Gaelic.

Who are Cruachan?

Dublin-based Cruachan is an Irish folk metal band that has been performing since the 1990s. They are acknowledged as one of the folk metal genre’s pioneers. Cruachan’s brand of folk metal is known as Celtic metal because of its emphasis on Celtic music and the incorporation of Celtic mythology in its lyrics. The Irish archaeological site of Rathcroghan, sometimes known as Cruachan, inspired the band’s name.

Cruachan’s proposal seems like a return to the roots of Irish music tradition, something that Ireland has long left in the past. Will Irish and Celtic music prove to be game-changing for the so-called “Queen of Eurovision“?
