Eurovision 2024: Technical Rehearsals are underway at the Malmö Arena!

/1 Comment/in , /by

The technical rehearsals for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 have begun since April 18 at the Malmö Arena in Sweden.

It has been revealed by a few snippets from crew members on social media that there will be cubic platforms with lights, that spin and change positions according to each performance.


The stage seems to be built on video tecnhology, that encloses the floors, walls and ceiling, mixed with lighting and automation.

Another video reveals the amount  of camera angles during the dutch performace and the speed that they are changing.


The camera operators seem to use CuePilot, a Danish software that usually is used in proffesional and expensive productions. The software is an automation system that allows the television maker to foresee the upcoming shots and rearrange the camera moves and angles.

Swedish broadcaster and organiser of this year’s Eurovision SVT is going to work daily at the Arena to make sure that everything will be ready for the stand-in rehearsals, that are expected later this week.

We remind you that the first rehearsals with the artists are scheduled on Saturday, April 27.

Eurovision 2024

Loreen won the 67th Eurovision Song Contest with her song “Tattoo” in behalf of Sweden, making her the first woman that has won the contest twice.

Overall Sweden has succeeded seven Eurovision victories (in 1974, 1984, 1991, 1999, 2012, 2015 and 2023). This makes Sweden the joint most successful country in ESC alongside Ireland. Malmö will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, which is the third time, following hosts in 1992 and 2013.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today is the fourth day of rehearsals, the day when the countries participating in the First Semi Final will take over the stage for their second rehearsal at M&S Bank Arena, in Liverpool!

Next up on stage for their second rehearsal is Israel and Noa Kirel with the song “Unicorn“.

Who is Noa Kirel?

Noa Kirel is an Israeli singer,dancer and actress,with various musical accolades. She was the winner of the MTV Europe Music Awards for the best Israeli act between 2017 and 2022 and is one of the most critically acclaimed performers in the Israeli pop scene. Some notable milestones in her 7-year career include becoming a judge in Israel’s Got Talent in 2018 (and becoming,thus,the youngest judge ever at the age of 17), signing a contract with American record company Atlantic Records and opening Miss Universe 2021 with her song “Bad Little Thing”.

The Rehearsal

Watching Noa Kirel on the big screen is a totally different experience from in the arena.

Noa starts her performance in a huge box lit with LEDs, with some nice rotating camerawork and lots of strobe lighting. She’s supported by five backing dancers, all in matching black and pink wet-look costumes, and the whole routine is pop-video polished from start to finish.

‘I’ve got the power of a unicorn,’ sings Noa, and you’ll be delighted to hear we took the opportunity to research what specific powers unicorns have. It turns out their horns have healing properties, so we’ll be calling on Noa for all our backstage first aid needs.

The camerawork is amazing, and every one of her facial expressions is entirely fierce.
